If you are using Win and a NAS then you are likely using samba/SMB for the communication. Win 11 only has an NFS client if you are running Pro, and NFS does not support RTM. Your problem is likely because of this - people are having very mixed results with real time monitoring over SMB:

To verify it's not something else with your Jellyfin instance, if you have a bit of free local disk space then you could set up an empty test library on your local disk, enable RTM and trickplay, and then copy just a couple media assets to it to see if it starts the trickplay scan. I'm not yet seeing a definitive answer on how to RTM on SMB.
You potentially could just reduce your library scan time to something very frequent - like every 15 or 30 minutes. If you restart a trickplay scan it should resume.
