    Hi ! Im having an issue were jelly won't start, i looked up the logs and saw this :
    Code:
    System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'E:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\metadata'.
      at System.IO.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(String fullPath, Byte[] securityDescriptor)
      at System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(String path)
      at Emby.Server.Implementations.Configuration.ServerConfigurationManager.UpdateMetadataPath()
      at Emby.Server.Implementations.Configuration.ServerConfigurationManager..ctor(IApplicationPaths applicationPaths, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory, IXmlSerializer xmlSerializer, IFileSystem fileSystem)
      at Emby.Server.Implementations.ApplicationHost..ctor(IServerApplicationPaths applicationPaths, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory, IStartupOptions options, IConfiguration startupConfig)
      at Jellyfin.Server.CoreAppHost..ctor(IServerApplicationPaths applicationPaths, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory, IStartupOptions options, IConfiguration startupConfig)
      at Jellyfin.Server.Program.StartApp(StartupOptions options)
      at Jellyfin.Server.Program.<Main>(String[] args)


    Jellyfin is looking up the matadata in a disk that doesn't exists anymore (i moved jellyfin), i read on github i could fix it, but i didn't find the metadata thing.
    Does anyone know where is the metadata thingy ?

    Thank you in advance !
    Your cordialities

    Manually edit the system.xml file and look for the line that says:
    Code:
    <MetadataPath>E:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\metadata</MetadataPath>
     Change it where you want it to be.

    If your registry go to

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Jellyfin\Server

    The DataFolder value should be set to your new path.
    Jellyfin 10.10.7 (Docker)
    Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS w/HWE
    Intel i3 12100
