    • Ubuntu 22.04
    • Jellyfin 10.8.10
    • Media folders scanned by Emby mounted with mergerfs

    Issue:
    Folder '/mnt/mergerfs/dual audio series/' is being scanned by my Spanish Series Library and my English Shares Library.

     
    Each library settings is setup to get metadata on its language however the metadata of files in that folser gets loaded in Spanish for both.

    I saw some old posts on Emby forum were people said that the reason is due to Emby saving one metadata per file. I guess it's the same for Jellyfin, but I'm hoping we have some workarounds already

     

    PS: Same issue exist in Emby. Plex doesn't have any issues with that and each library has its own metadata even if they look at the same files

    I do not believe it's possible in Jellyfin to add the same folder to multiple libraries and have different metadata. As you observed, this is an inherited design from Emby. Jellyfin is in the (slow) process of changing the DB engine on the back-end, which will likely enable such features in the longer term. As of right now, though, I think the existing DB structure simply doesn't allow it.

    Just in case someone has the same issue I used the strm workaround to get this resolved:

    My second library reads strm files from a different location that point to the original files. On that second library I DO NOT select the NFO options
