Jellyfin is not working

Jellyfin is not working properly. The media library scan is also not working, and new files are not being detected. Please check the issue and provide a solution.

Did you follow the official Jellyfin setup guide here?

https://www.zimaspace.com/docs/zimaos/media-server-setup-with-jellyfin

At the moment there is not enough information here for anyone to check the issue properly.

Jellyfin not detecting new files can be caused by a few different things, for example:

  • the media folder path is not mounted correctly into the Jellyfin container
  • Jellyfin does not have permission to read the folder
  • the files were added to a different storage path than the one Jellyfin is scanning
  • the library scan is failing due to an error inside Jellyfin
  • the app/container may need to be restarted or recreated with the correct bind path

Please provide some more details so people can help you properly:

docker ps | grep -i jellyfin
docker logs --tail=100 jellyfin

Also please confirm:

  1. Your ZimaOS version
  2. Where your media files are stored
  3. The exact folder path added inside Jellyfin
  4. Whether Jellyfin can see the old files but not the new files, or nothing at all

Without this information, it is not really possible to give a correct solution.
