    All,

    I moved some files around because my media organization wasn't ideal. However, now when I do a library scan I see a number of "media not found" messages in the log file. It's been more than a month, and I would have thought this would go away on its own, with those being removed from the database. But no, I keep getting the message. How do I get Jellyfin to stop looking for files in paths/directories that no longer exist? The movies have been scanned and added from their new locations. 

    Thanks

    Can you share your Jellyfin log via pastebin? I'm thinking that these messages are related to playlists. You added content to a playlist, which uses absolute paths, and now that you've moved content around it can't find the media at the old path.

    I don't think Jellyfin currently has a mechanism to automagically fix playlists.

    There is a job in Dashboard > Scheduled Tasks, called "Clean up collections and playlists". It only runs during startup. If you haven't restarted Jellyfin since moving your content around, or disabled the job, it would not have cleaned up your playlists. You can manually run the job now, but you will need to re-create the playlist.

    Your other option is to open the playlist XML and do some find and replace in the XML file to update the playlist with the new paths.
