Jellyfin Help with issue regarding media detection

Hi Everyone, i hope someone can help, im new to Jellyfin.

i have installed jellyfin on a proxmox virtual machine with a usb drive passthrough to it and have mounted the usb drive to the linux machine. I have then made the folders of "movies" and "shows" and gave the permissions of the owner jellyfin and gave modifier permissions of 755.

Ive got a frustrating issue where everything inside the "shows" folder gets detected no problem. However with the "movies" folder it is not even detecting anything at all even though there is content in there.

i have tried using a usb drive that has 2 paritions on and a single patition but still the same problem.

i have used the command to see if jellyfin can access the folder where the usb is mounted to but to no avail.

running on ubuntu server 24.04.4 and jellyfin 10.11.11

can anyone help shed a light on what it could be ?

Thanks in Advance
