SOLVED: Noob, just want to play a video file - [I had 'trailer' in the filename]

[HeneryH]

Total Noob here but I am comfortable in Linux and Proxmox etc.  Am I a total idiot here???

I installed on Proxmox using the helper script and I got to the Jellyfin server in no time.

Wanting to stick with the most basic first step, I created a directory structure with some video files.  I started with the MP4 video files but after failing I created the other formats using ffmepg.

Currently looks like this

Code:

root@jellyfin:/home# tree .
.
└── media
    └── Movies
        └── The_Chosen
            ├── The_Chosen_Season_1_Trailer.avi
            ├── The_Chosen_Season_1_Trailer.mp4
            ├── The_Chosen_Season_1_Trailer.yuv
            ├── The_Chosen_Season_2_Trailer.avi
            ├── The_Chosen_Season_2_Trailer.mp4
            ├── The_Chosen_Season_2_Trailer.yuv
            ├── The_Chosen_Season_3_Trailer.avi
            ├── The_Chosen_Season_3_Trailer.mp4
            ├── The_Chosen_Season_3_Trailer.yuv
            ├── The_Chosen_Season_4_Trailer.avi
            └── The_Chosen_Season_4_Trailer.mp4

And I added the Library in Jellyfin like this:


But I cannot for the life of me get these videos to show up in my library.  

The library folder is always empty

"Trailer" is a special keyword in Jellyfin. Remove it from your filename or try enclosing it in parentheses.

Awesome!  Thank you, that was it.

Sorry for miscrediting the solution to my reply. Thanks @theguymadmax
