- Permissions
user:user644 / 755 (chmod safety net run server-side). Scan Media Librarytriggered via/ScheduledTasks/Running/<id>,Statereturned toIdle./Items?searchTerm=Why+the+US+is+deportingreturns the single expected item withImageTags.Primarypresent,ProviderIdsempty (expected for Education library).- Direct-play in client browser (AV1 supported by Chromium >= 90).
- Mobile / Smart-TV direct-play not exercised.
Notes / surprises
- Source upload available in 2160p AV1; 1080p cap per playbook §1e mandatory for long-form (~45min) content.
- No metadata refresh needed — Local Posters picked up
<basename>.jpgas Primary on first scan; no Screen Grabber fallback. - Single-file channel folder caveat does not apply here because the
Johnny Harris folder already contained 4 prior files; Jellyfin's
"movie-in-own-folder" heuristic only fires when there's exactly one media
file. See
the-guardian-snowden-2013-20130709.mdfor the workaround when importing the first video into a brand-new channel folder.
