    Background:
    1) I tried to install Jellyfin to my Synology NAS using Container Manager. Installation failed. 
    2) Installed Jellyfin with SynoCommunity package. Installed ok. Works '~ok'.

    Now I have a library named 'Kansiot' which I cannot see or delete in Libraries. Maybe it is a remains from 1)

    Anyway, how can I delete library 'Kansiot' ?

    Do you have folder view enabled?

    Thx, Folder view was enabled.

    How can I rename 'Kansiot' to something else? I cant find this anywhere.

    I should have put "Kansiot" into Google translate.  Would have saved the step of asking if you have folder view enabled.   Upside-down-face

    No, you cannot change that name since it isn't a "library".  If you don't want this "folder view" you'd have to disable it.

    'Kansiot' is Folders in Finnish. If this generated by JF how come 'My Media' is not translated? (and Home, Favourites, Recently Added...) There could be a translation table for headings and terms. Maybe in the next version?

    Hi,

    I have a similar problem.

    I set up JeffyFin for the first time today and I got it working on some clients (my TV and my PC) but things didn't go entirely smoothly.

    * I configured JF to use a particular folder for music when I should have given it a different folder so I'd like to delete or reconfigure my music Library folder.
    * It misrecognises some of my films, for example, it decided that "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" was actually a science fiction, comedy, animation film called "The Final Frontier"... I mean, they might have a point about it being a comedy given it's one of the worst in the series (Shatner directed) 🤣
    * It selects some weird images although I can manually edit those.

    Part of the reason might be that my digital video collection is self-ripped making it potentially harder for JF to recognise them but there's little I can do about that. For me, it's early in the day so I can easily uninstall and reinstall but I'd like to figure if it's possible to do these things correctly.

    Thanks

    Always make your own topic instead of piggybacking. If your issue matches exactly, the solution is likely similar. Asking new questions in an old thread is not a great way to get help. I tend to look for zero-post questions and happened to stumble across this one.

    1. Remove the library entirely, add a new library with the correct path. Only time I modify a library with regard to paths is to add paths to new storage locations.
    2. The likely culprit is not following naming conventions set forth in the documentation.
    3. Enable/disable metadata providers as you see fit or, as you said, manually change the images.
