    Been loving Jellyfin, much love to everyone involved in this project and making it happen!

    I have a strange issue, though - when I start playing something, for example, a movie or an episode of a show, then I will get a notification that this piece of media (the movie or the episode) has been added to my server - even though it has already existed previously. It will notify me through all available notification methods, including web browser and webhook extension (in my case via Gotify). This also happens when I use the "Identify" feature and/or update the metadata.

    Please find attached my log file. You can search for "Léon: The Professional" at this timestamp: [2025-10-30 21:17:51.840 +01:00] or "Wednesday" at this timestamp: [2025-10-30 21:28:54.093 +01:00]. The password for the 7z file is Password123! and is purely there so my personal data can't be scraped by other web services - for human eyes only! Smiling-face

    Some things that I did recently that may have had an impact:
    • Recently upgraded to 10.11.0 and 10.11.1 - but I don't think this is the cause
    • I'm using the Linuxserver.io Docker Image for Jellyfin inside a Proxmox VM, and have some paths to my media library passed into it
    • Recently, those paths accidentally got removed, and when Jellyfin started up and did a media scan, it started removing all media items
    • Upon realizing this, I stopped the Docker container, added the paths back and started Jellyfin, and did a full media scan again
    • Ever since that time, I'm now getting notifications of new items added to my server, even though they already exist
    • To try and solve this issue, at some point I changed the "Date added behavior for new content" to "Use file creation date" but realised that was a mistake and changed it back to "Use date scanned into the library"
    • I tried turning off all Webhook notification services, but it still notifies me via web browser pop-ups

    Many thanks for any help or insight!
