Jellyfin can't identify animes, showing up as folder

[Efficient_Good_5784]

@TheDreadPirate can I make collections from two different locations. Such as /anime and /anime_movies and keep the collection in /anime in jellyfin? I hope that was clear.

There's only an option to show collections in movie libraries. There's no equivalent for show libraries.

You can however mix shows and movies in a collection. All collections will be stored in the collection library tab that appears when you create your first one.

Also I am using docker in synology NAS. Do you know of a way i can keep the settings I made so in case I have to reset or reinstall I would not have to do this again?

You just need to have a copy of the config folder which you'll link to the new container. Hopefully you host mounted the config folder to be on an accesible external location, otherwise you'll need to go into the Docker container to extract it.

Remember to copy it only when the server is turned off to avoid any possible database corruption.

The default behavior is that collections go in a separate "library".

Thank again for your help!

I'm assuming (hoping) you provided a path on the host to mount /config to.  If you did, /config contains all your permanent Jellyfin data.  Backing up and restore just that folder will restore Jellyfin to its previous state.
