Originally assigned to: @DarkFighterLuke on GitHub.

I've read the documentation

  • I'm running the latest version of tubearchivist-jf-plugin.
  • I'm running the latest version of TubeArchivist.
  • I have read the how to open an issue guide, particularly the bug report section.
  • I have searched for both closed and open already existing issues about the problem I am reporting.

Operating System

Linux PopOS

Your Bug Report

Describe the bug

Added source according to the guide, but no videos are showing

Steps To Reproduce

Added source as the guide showed. Folders have been chowned properly too

Expected behavior

Videos should populate like shows and movies

Relevant Jellyfin log output

[01:15:48] [INF] [7] Emby.Server.Implementations.ScheduledTasks.TaskManager: Webhook Item Deleted Notifier Completed after 0 minute(s) and 0 seconds

Anything else?

Don't know why two playlists appeared before I added any shows - as per the guide -but I hid the playlists in "Profilepicture - Home - Playlists - Hide". It showed the only two playlists I have, but without videos and not possible to playback.

Anyway, that's not the issue, the problem is that when I add the source to Jellyfin via "Library Management", and I choose the correct "youtube" folder, nothing is showing up.

well, that should be issue with Jellyfin, not TA.
Jellyfin should be able to see all the folders you're seeing in your file manager.

If you're sure directory and file permissions are okay, maybe try mounting it in other directory, for example under /data as your other media

Yeah, there was no permission issues, but the strangest thing is that it started working after two days, I have no idea why because I redeployed docker many times and rescanned stuff. Maybe Jellyfin couldn't handles that TA downloaded at the same time when I was setting it up for the first time

No idea why, but I'm glad it works.

It could be that a new container was re-created(not just restart) and files were mounted properly.
