    hello -  TOTAL NEWBIE just getting started here.

    when I first installed jellyfin, I pointed the data to D:\media\

    then I created a couple of libraries, I pointed to D:\media\videofileOne, D:\media\videofileTwo\ and everything worked just fine.

    later, I created a third library that I just pointed to D:\media\ with no subdirectories, since there was already several media files there.

    this new library seemed to create all sorts of issues.  so I removed jellyfin and reinstalled it.

    upon thinking about it, I realize I should not have created a library at the jellyfin "root" library.  but I am wondering if jellyfin might want to block that sort of thing from happening again in a future release.

    or maybe I am the first one to ever do something so foolish?   (it was not the first time I did something dumb I assure you, just first with jellyfin)

    You need to follow the sorting of your media as recommended in the documentation:

    https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows/
    https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/

    When you link a library in Jellyfin to a folder on your system, Jellyfin expects the top-most subfolders to all be different shows or movies.

    It's also not a good idea with what you did. You linked a library to a folder that has other libraries linked. That will cause issues for you.
