In example.png, I have a screenshot of my movies library.
Long story short: I had some entries that lost their images when I made some changes, and they never were re-fetched. I am no re-transcoding ALL of my media, so I figured I'd just delete all the folders out of my library and get a fresh start. However, all of my old movie titles are still listed in my library despite not having any media or image data associated with them.
I've ran a library scan and EVERY one of the scheduled tasks. But that hasn't done anything. The metadata for all my titles is still saved on my server, and the titles are still listed on my database. Why aren't these being deleted and my database updated?
This Jellyfin instance is running on unRAID.
Honestly, I'd like to go nuclear and delete ALL metadata and just re-fetch ALL of it, as well as any other bits of data that's stored elsewhere, like under Jellyfin/root/default or Jellfyin/data. But at the end of the day, my main concern is why my database isn't updating with the titles I've deleted and now they're just showing up as orphaned titles.
