    First of all: I love Jellyfin! Thanks to everyone putting love, sweat and work into this!

    So I added a new Harddrive to my setup.
    And added two folders (Filme2 and Serien2) of that drive to my allready existing library like this:
       

    Realtime scanning is also enabled for that library:
       

    But Jellyfin wont automaticly scan that folder for new entrys.
    Whenever i restart Jellyfin and have a look at the log it also only talks about /data/Filme and /data/Serien which are the folders I allready had, but not the new one /data/Filme2 and /data/Serien2.
       


    It feels like the LibraryMonitor is just not adding these folders to his "watchlist"(?).

    I'm running Jellyfin in Docker. Here's my compose file:
    Code:
    services:
      jellyfin:
        image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest
        container_name: jellyfin
        environment:
          - PUID=1000 # user 1000
          - PGID=100 # gruppe "users"
          - TZ=Europe/Berlin
          - DOCKER_MODS=ghcr.io/jumoog/intro-skipper
        devices:
          - /dev/dri:/dev/dri # hardware acceleration intel quicksync
        volumes:
          - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-78adfa63-048a-4cc8-ae8e-017cab31c2a2/jellyfin_config:/config #wd1
          - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-78adfa63-048a-4cc8-ae8e-017cab31c2a2/Filme:/data/Filme #wd1
          - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-22e05994-fd8f-4d68-aa0c-35a3ab147b25/Filme2:/data/Filme2 #wd3
          - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-78adfa63-048a-4cc8-ae8e-017cab31c2a2/Serien:/data/Serien #wd1
          - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-22e05994-fd8f-4d68-aa0c-35a3ab147b25/Serien2:/data/Serien2 #wd3
        ports:
          - 8096:8096
          - 7359:7359/udp #optional discover for clients
          - 1900:1900/udp #optional discover for DLNA
        restart: unless-stopped
        networks:
          - portainer_default

    networks:
      portainer_default:
        external: true


    This is "ls -la" on bare metal:
       


    And this is "ls -la" inside of the docker container:
       

    My Versions are:
    Servername
    JellyFinNeo
    Server-Version
    10.10.6
    Web-Version
    10.10.6 (c335a3024)
    Build-Version
    10.10.6

    Thanks again to everyone!

    Short update: I fixed the problem with a strange workaround. Here's what I did:

    • Add the new folder /data/Filme2 to my allready existing library. (Jellyfin did not scan that new folder, this is the original issue)
    • Create a new library with only the folder /data/Filme2. Jellyfin will now scan that folder for new entrys.
    • Delete that new library (remember the path still exists in the first/original library). Jellyfin will continue to scan that folder (as it is supposed to).

    Problem solved.

    My guess is there is a bug where the emby LibraryMonitor will not add a path for watching if it is a second or third path added to an allready existing library.

    Sorry for my strange english, it's not my native language.
