Description of the bug
Hey guys,
I have already talked about this issue with TheDreadPirate on the forum. He told me to open a bug report. So here I am.
My issue:
I am just in the process of moving my jellyfin server from a Synology docker container into an ubuntu lxc container on a new proxmox host. I want to use this lxc jellyfin instance for my music. I was able to move everything. Right now I had to troubleshoot my samba configuration because the permission where not set in a way that jellyfin had write access to the folders. But it is working now. While doing this troubleshooting, I noticed something. When you create add a new artist with an album, jellyfin will also create a nfo file for the artist. This nfo file also contains all the albums of the artist. But here comes my issue. This nfo file will not get an update when you add an additional album later on. You have to rescan the artist in order for it to update the nfo file. This does not feel right.
This was my original post in the forum. Here a question that did arise on the forum, to make things more clear:
I'm assuming you want Jellyfin to pick it up in real time. If that is the case, real time monitoring is not supported over network files systems.
My answer:
Nop, you got me wrong. I have even disabled real time monitoring. I always scan manually. And it is not over the network. My music files are on the same ubuntu system as my jellyfin server.
My problem is that the artist.nfo is not getting an update when i add a new album and do a manuel scan for new files. The artist.nfo only gets updated when i do a manuel scan of the artist itself.
Cheers
Reproduction steps
- Add a new artist and album to your music library´s folder
- Scan the library and wait for jellyfin to create the artist.nfo
- Add an additional album (same artist) to your music library´s folder
- Scan the library
What is the current bug behavior?
The artist.nfo won´t get updated. If you rescan the artist itself from the jellyfin gui, the artist.nfo will get updated.
What is the expected correct behavior?
The artist.nfo should get an automatic update the moment a new album is added
