Refreshing Jellyfin Library:
Access Jellyfin Server via Terminal/SSH: Log into your Jellyfin server via terminal or SSH.
Stop Jellyfin Docker Container: Use the command docker stop [container_name] to halt the Jellyfin container.
Remount HDDs: Ensure your HDDs are remounted with the same paths and configurations as before.
Start Jellyfin Container: Restart the Jellyfin container using docker start [container_name].
Library Scan Command: Execute a library scan command inside the Jellyfin Docker container to refresh the library. You might use something like docker exec -it [container_name] jellyfin media scan to trigger a library scan within the container.
Verify "Latest" Section: Check the "Latest" section in the Jellyfin UI to confirm if the recently added movies and shows are now visible.
Preventing Future Issues:
Persistent Paths: Ensure consistent and persistent mounting of HDDs with the same paths upon system restart or container reboot. This maintains continuity in file access for Jellyfin.
Scheduled Library Scans: Configure a script or task scheduler to periodically trigger library scans within the Jellyfin container. This can be set to run at specific intervals, ensuring Jellyfin regularly updates its library with new media.
By following these technical steps to refresh the library and maintaining stable paths while scheduling regular scans, you can ensure Jellyfin accurately reflects any new additions to your media collection and mitigate issues caused by remounting HDDs or system restarts.
