Description

Sorry if this is way too specific a bug to my music library, but i had 2 folders like so
Artist/(2016) The Album name/
Artist/(2016) The Album Name/

One of these folders was empty, containing only a folder.jpg while the other contained all the tracks and a folder.jpg but because one was empty the folder with the tracks never got checked

Expected behavior

The library scan should check both folders, i assume it is case insensitive while in this case maybe it should be?

System:

  • OS: Docker
  • Browser: Firefox, Yatse, Mobile app
  • Jellyfin Version: Version 10.1.0

Additional context
Thanks so much for this project its super cool, I'm really enjoying my jellyfin experience :)

I think most checks are case-insensitive, plus Windows and some default installs of MacOS don't even support case sensitivity in paths.
I am also failing to see real use for such naming scheme, but am open to be proved wrong.

For now I am tempted to close as "working as intended", but let's hear more people in case I am wrong.

The naming scheme wasnt intentional, it was changed by beets but it left files behind so thats why there were 2 folders, The album shows up in supysonic/other players so I figured I would report it here just in case it might be preferred behavior
