SOLVED: Missing media in Jellyfin - Library partially loaded

[fiore42]

This is a case of RTFM, but I lost few hours on it so I wanted to share in case I'm not the only one facing this issue

The folder structure of Jellyfin is not a suggestion, but it's a mandate. 

If you have a media folder /data which contains /data/tv and /data/movies you CANNOT add just /data and be done with it.

It will only load stray files in these subfolder (e.g. data/tv/abc_S01E01.avi) but it will COMPLETELY IGNORE /data/tv/xyz_season1/*.

Same goes for movies subfolders.

I removed the container, deleted my client, parsed logs, searched for hours.

My bad luck was that I had exactly one stray movie and one stray tv episode, making it hard to see the pattern.

Anyway, fixed it by adding a separate library for each folder in which I had subfolders. 
You CANNOT add /data and expect the software to figure it out.

Question: is there a setting to allow recursive analysis of subfolders? 

Thank you for your great work!

There is no way to change the way Jellyfin traverses directories. As you said, follow the Jellyfin documentation for folder structure, or else.
