    I am running Jellyfin (10.10.3) on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 4TB SSD mapped to /media and the OS is on another SSD. There is another library already running, for the last 6 months, without an issue; this is our movie library which I just finished populating.
    I now want to create a new library, Shows, to upload TV shows on. The interesting thing is that is shows the existing library on a folder that was not created by me and that I can not find.
    The path on the drive is this:

    pi@pifilmeConfused-facemedia $ ls -hl
    total 3.1M
    drwxr-xr-x  4 pi  pi  4.0K Jan  1 09:28 backups
    drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4.0K Mar  3 10:00 Filme
    drwxr-xr-x 761 pi  pi  248K Mar  3 09:17 Movies
    drwxr-xr-x  2 pi  pi  2.8M Nov 18 09:01 Pictures
    drwxr-xr-x  3 pi  pi  4.0K Mar  3 07:25 Shows
    pi@pifilmeConfused-facemedia $

    When I look at the libraries this is what the path shows

       

    Interesting thing is that I can add mp4 files to the Movie directory and the show up in the Movie library and all is well. When I attempt to create a new library I get the path cannot be found and I see the /media2 and media3 folders; Media2 holds a bunch of trickplay files.

       

    The above is all I get and when I manually type /media/Shows i receive the folder not found error, but it is there.

    Can you share your full jellyfin log via privatebin.net?

    Do /media2 and /media3 still exist? Or have they been removed and everything was consolidated to /media?
