2 movies out of many ignored, how to debug?

[Lynx0]

Hi!

I have about 200 movies in Jellyfin, but out of 20 or so recently added ones 2 are not shown in the library or anywhere in Jellyfin. They seem to get ignored. I have no idea why, I check the folder and file naming, and the permissions, all seems fine, same as all other movies. The files have the same name as the movies do on TMDB.
One move is "My old ass", the other is "How to make millions before grandma dies". I thought the second one maybe has the problem that is as a foreign name also, so I copied it to a new folder and renamed to "Lahn Mah (2024)/Lahn Mah 2024.mkv", but that also gets ignored.

There is no way of adding files manually, except for rescanning the library, right? How else could I find out what's going on?

you can add the imdb id into the folder name, like

Code:

/Wall-E (2008) [tt0910970]/ Wall-E (2008).mkv

Before i did that, it would always be tagged as a movie about the Berlin Wall or something

I have the same movie and set the directories as:

Code:

Wall-E (2008) [tmdbid-10681]

Code:

My Old Ass (2024) [tmdbid-947891]

Code:

How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies (2024) [tmdbid-1103621]

I have the same movie and set the directories as:

So did you also have problem with these not being picked up before you added the tmid?
In my case it doesn't seem to make a difference, still does not get added...

Double check folder and file permissions on the new content. And share your jellyfin logs via privatebin.net.

Looking at the logfile I found an error and searching that I saw I should not have DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1 in my Docker env anymore. Removing that fixed it, now the movies are added.
Thanks for the help!

Yes, I did but I'm not using Docker either.
I'm glad you posted or I wouldn't have looked. I knew I had Wall-e but didn't have a "hardcoded" database ID on the directory.
Once I did that, it picked right up for me.
