   I got the thing that downloads youtube to jellyfin working but rescanning the library in jellyfin finds no files. Jellyfin failed the "just works" test. I don't have time to fuck around with this garbage to find out why it doesn't work

     @sun@shitposter.world metadata detection is hot garbage

     @0orpheus yes I am using ytdl-sub and telling it to do jellyfin metadata. I ended up finally getting it to work by "rescan all libraries" in the administration panel.

     @sun Jellyfin isn't really designed to work with arbitrary videos since it wants metadata, though I'm assuming you're using ytdl-sub which would fill out metadata for it. If it's not finding anything it sounds like something iffy with ffmpeg since I think it tries to parse metadata with ffmpeg from the file before importing it. Or you just gotta recreate the library, I ran into a ghost library bug once.

     Just to double check though I dropped a random video file into my movies library and jellyfin picked it up fine so not sure what's up there.

     @0orpheus I don't actually know if it's using the metadata that ytdl-sub created or if it recreated the data somehow when I rescanned. I guess I'll never know.

     @sun huh, never had to do that before but I've also never used ytdl-sub so not sure what it outputs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

     @0orpheus I disabled all those checkboxes because I assumed that ytdl-sub would provide them. this is maybe evidence that it's using my metadata not downloading it, since I unchecked all the boxes

     @sun It'll also auto search for metadata online if you checked those boxes when creating the library, so that could have stalled it out? No idea what it would pull up for youtube vids. Either way, yeah probably not worth the effort to find out what happened if it's working now

     @0orpheus ok then that means it really didn't find them in realtime, only when I scanned from admin

     @sun Yeah if you disabled those then it's using local NFO files and/or whatever it can parse from the file itself, so if you're getting descriptions/etc it's pulling that from the NFO

     @sun Ah yeah did you enable real-time monitoring/ are you storing the files over NFS? Both of those could prevent that too.

     @sun Gotcha, could be filesystem related than. But either way, sounds like just an issue with real-time monitoring (either not enabled or FS)

     @0orpheus only weird thing I can think of is its on a zfs partition but that user can definitely read it since the ownership and perms are correct because I run ytdl-sub from the jellyfin user to make sure

     @0orpheus only thing I can guess. I'm adding a new channel to it, we'll see what happens.

     @sun Permissions are probably fine assuming it can play the video, but maybe there's some weird inotify/ZFS interaction?

     @0orpheus ok it's clearly a jellyfin bug because I added a new channel to my subs and ran ytdl-sub and jellyfin found the new one immediately.

     @thegreatape @0orpheus so yeah if I go into the show's folder it has all four videos, it just isn't showing them in the category list. jellyfin is just very buggy

     @sun@shitposter.world @0orpheus@raru.re it might take some time til it finds them all as it processes. Ive been using jellyfin for a LONG time now and have that issue. Also I saw you had to scan all libraries earlier as well for just one library, that's another thing I have to do every once in a while when adding new shows. No idea why

     @0orpheus @thegreatape at least the playing videos part works great. I just need to get my home network a vpn next so I can connect to it when I'm away from home.

     @sun @thegreatape Yeah it can take a few minutes for the UI to sync up with what's in the libraries and/or the frontend will get stuck and you gotta refresh it once or twice to see something that was *just* added.

     it's definitely got some bugs though, I won't deny that, but in their defense a lot of the issue is Emby legacy code

     @sun @0orpheus @thegreatape tailscale or pure wireguard works well for this.
