What i mean is that there is nothing that shows up for tv shows at all from the scan after you make a library for them. i don't know if i have installed emby wrong or the configuration settings are wrong in the plugin edit area on truenas scale or something else. i haven't ever had this issue at all with emby since i first started using it a very long time ago when i was learning. truenas setup is very very confusing to say the least. you have to figure out where the storage has to be and how to set permissions up etc on truenas scale. there really needs to be a detailed setup guide for truenas scale and emby install, because there is absolutely no install or setup guide for truenas scale and emby install unfourtunately..

@hjason7812did you notice this?

Is there an issue with your file mount? Or some kind of permissions problem?
