Hi all, I moved away from Flex just yesterday and installed Jellyfin. Liking it so far, it's clean and uncluttered, but unfortunately it seems not all my files are being recognized and aren't showing in the library.

Mostly it looks like it's showing exclusively mkv files, but I have a bunch of Avi and vob files that used to be properly recognized in Plex. Any way to make those work?

I am running Jellyfin on Podman from Fedora 40 managed by systemd, using the official docker image. The container walkthrough mentioned other 2 alternative images, not sure if I should try one of them?

Thanks!

Concerts ? this seems like an plugin to me. You can just create a second Movie library ?

Lol ok your comment just made me realize my mistake, and I'd probably never see it and just go back to Plex instead.

So what happened is that when I imported my Plex library to Jellyfin I created a library named "Concerts" and content type I probably intended to click "Shows" but clicked "Music" instead which I'm guessing at this point expects only audio files, thus, never listing my concerts files on Jellyfin :)

That said, I think "Shows" is probably also not the correct content type here, I think they meant more like TV shows, like The Office or Friends etc. Probably the right content type is either Music Videos or just Movies.

Anyway thanks for the help, I wouldn't have noticed my mistake if it weren't for your comment.
