Original Pull Request: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/7724

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Changes
I have a single ./Movies directory that contains symlinks to many
other directories, some of which are in shared paths. Other daemons
sometimes overwrite permissions on these paths and prevent Jellyfin from
being able to scan. Because this exception is unhandled within a LINQ
statement it non-deterministically kills metadata refresh for my entire Movies
library.

Running with this patch has allowed me to at least add + scan for
movies in directories that Jellyfin can currently access and gives me
some notification of the symlinks failing due to permissions errors.

Issues
May be related to #7130
