@Derfel The mixed libraries option is legacy and probably should come with a warning not to use.
There is a post from 4 years ago on Reddit r/jellyfin from a Jellyfin Team member saying: "Mixed libraries are basically never the right answer. It's really hard for the scanner to correctly identify a media type based on a folder name, and support for them in clients is frustrating at best. That library option is mostly there for legacy reasons."
They go on to say: "it was there when we forked, nobody has removed it yet, and if we remove it now a small subset of people will revolt."
