    I want to reorder the priority of metadata providers for one of my libraries, but when I try to save my changes I get the following error: 
    "The library is in an invalid state and cannot be edited. You are possibly encountering a bug: the path in the database is not the correct path on the filesystem."

    I have an idea to what might caused it, but not sure how to recover from it. 
    I run Jellyfin in a docker container, and recently I switched from the LinuxServer.io image to the official one.
    The switch did not go as smoothly as I hoped, my user was in a weird state where it both existed but when connecting to the server you would see the first time setup page. 

    Recreating a user with the same name did the trick, but I think this is what caused the invalid state. Or my really bad permission management (the Jellyfin system user has too much permissions) 

    I tried to get a log for the error, but wasn't able to do so. If you have an idea of how I would appreciate the help
