library is in an invalid state

[wombat23]

Running jellyfin on Windows 10

Earlier this year I built a new NAS and migrated the data over to it.

What was the X: drive is now V:

I went library by library, added the V: path then removed the X: path.

It worked fine for a while. However since updating to the latest 10.11 all my shows have duplicated.

Even though when I edit a Library only the V: path is shown.

Tonight I removed a channel to redo it and BOTH paths show up in the "Remove Medi Folder" popup

I click OK. Then I shut down jellyfin and restarted it.

When I added the path back in as a new library the error popup happened:

"The library is in an invalid state and cannot be edited. You are possible encountering a bug: the path in the database is not the correct path in the system"

Any help would be very appreciated!

Both libraries were named the same if that helps?

To add to this


removing ghost path from libraries

Bug

So in a continuation of trying to get my server stable again

Is there any easy way of removing all references of an outdated path for all the libraries?

I migrated from X:\ to V:\ and even though the libraries only show the single path all my shows have been duplicated and are still showing the x:\ path

Library scans have not fixed this and metadata editor would be days doing this manually :-(

I have checked the libraries XML files under (windows) and it's correct in each with only a single entry for path:

Jellyfin\Server\root\default\*Libraryname*

  <PathInfos>
    <MediaPathInfo>
      <Path>V:\tv_shows\*Libraryname*</Path>
    </MediaPathInfo>
  </PathInfos>
