UPDATE: After some great suggestions here, I got everything working. Was a Linux permissions issue mostly, but also some files were not named properly. Everything is working as I’d expect, all be it, a bit slower than PLEX used to, but I’m fine with that.

I have a Library called Star Trek Movies, in this library is my collection of 1080P 10-bit MKV files of said collection, correctly named, and did work perfectly fine in PLEX. However, only one file will be pulled into the library and it won’t ID that file properly. Does anyone have any suggestions of what could be the issue? I’m having the same issue with other folders of movies as well. Haven’t tried to add any TV Shows as of yet though.

Edit: I do get this error a lot in the log, but I can’t seam to figure out what it means.

“External request received, however, only an internal interface bind found.”

    Ah gotcha, that could be the issue. I feel like Jellyfin should be able to handle that, but the way I have it setup is just placing all my movies in a single movie folder, then Jellyfin takes care of the rest. I then take it a step further and put movies into subfolders alphabetically, so mine would look like

    …/jellyfin/movies/S/Star Trek II - The Wratch of Kahn (1982).mkv

    This allegedly makes searching faster, but I think you’d need like a couple thousand movies for it to make any difference.

    There are times where I don’t really like this, for example Rambo 1 is called First Blood so it’s in the F directory and the rest of the Rambo movies are in the R directory, but Jellyfin will organize it all on the interface so it’s not a huge deal. Edit: you can also make a “Sort Title” so it will live next to the other Rambo’s instead of off by itself with the other F movies.

    Also, I think some of my issues are coming from using the TMDB Box Set plugin which automates my collections. I think if you create the collections manually things might go a bit smoother.
