    Here's the basic structure of my setup. I'm running proxmox on my computer. On proxmox -> Linux VM -> docker -> jellyfin. I'm using the docker-compose to run jellyfin. And I navigated the media folder correctly. Inside my media folder my file structure looks like media/Shows/The Big Bang Theory/Season 01/[episode name S01E01].mkv. the full path is mnt/nasdata/data/media/Shows/The Big Bang Theory/Season 01/

    I started jellyfin and created a library called shows and mapped it to Shows. I have two things there The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother. And one episode each inside

    However when Looking at jellyfin, under shows I can only see one of them(seems to be random which one) and inside that show it's just empty. (all screenshots attached)
    However I can see the episodes in recently added.

    I have tried everything and cannot get jellyfin to detect these shows properly. Been at this for the last 5-6 hours. Any help would be appreciated a lot!!!!

    ps: I'm setting up a homelab for the first time so pretty new to this stuff.

    Try changing names to follow the guidelines in the Jellyfin docs. The odd things I spot are the colons, the lack of zero padding for season and episodes, and (possibly) the space-hyphen-space naming convention which can confuse the hell out of Jellyfin on occasion.

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

    One thing that seems to make a lot of difference for folks is adding the show ID to the series folder (no need for seasons).

    TMDB is blocked in India.  Download the TVDB plugin from the catalog and set that as the preferred metadata source in your library.
