Please describe your bug
I'm running Jellyfin 10.8.10 directly on Ubuntu.
After radarr changed a movie file including changing the name of the file (adding languages in brackets) I can't play that movie.
Web UI says: "Playback Error
This client isn't compatible with the media and the server isn't sending a compatible media format."
Ubuntu client says: "Playback Failed
Playback failed with error "loading failed". Retry with transcode? (Note this may hang the player.)"
Pressing three dots and refresh metadata and scan for new and updated files does not change this neither does doing the same on the hole library this movie is in nor a restart of Jellyfin and trying both again.
EDIT: only a "scan all libraries" makes the movie playable
Jellyfin Version
10.8.z

10.8.10

@srcrist commented on GitHub (Oct 8, 2023):
Closing this issue as it does not reference an actual Jellyfin bug. That a scan would be required after the filename of a media file has changed is normal and expected behavior. The server will no longer know how to access the media source if the name is changed, and a scan will be required to locate the new source file. A scan should always be executed after making any changes to the files and directories within the library.
