Description of the bug

When creating a new library in 10.11.1 an extra item is injected into the PhysicalLocationsList of /config/root/default/$libraryName. Example:

❯ sqlite3 jellyfin/config/data/jellyfin.db "SELECT data FROM BaseItems WHERE Path='/config/root/default/Concerts';" | python3 -m json.tool 2>/dev/null || sqlite3 jellyfin/config/data/jellyfin.db "SELECT data FROM BaseItems WHERE Path='/config/root/default/Concerts';"
{
    "PhysicalLocationsList": [
        "/config/root/default/Concerts",
        "/media/video/concerts"
    ],
...

The new library does not work until:

  1. Jellyfin is stopped.
  2. The extra location is removed, for example:
❯ sqlite3 jellyfin/config/data/jellyfin.db <<EOF
UPDATE BaseItems
SET data = json_set(data, '$.PhysicalLocationsList', json('["\/media\/video\/concerts"]'))
WHERE Path='/config/root/default/Concerts';
EOF
  1. Jellyfin is restarted.

Reproduction steps

  1. Be on 10.11.1
  2. Create a new library. I was using type of "Movie". Point it at a working physical path where content lives.
  3. Attempt to scan the library to no avail. Attempt to edit it and see:

What is the current bug behavior?

The library is not visible in the dashboard and cannot be scanned or edited (managed). jellyfin.db shows an errant extra item in PhysicalLocationsList for the library.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The PhysicalLocationsList just has the physical location specified, and the library works.

This issue persists in 10.11.3.0, and also affects adding new paths to existing libraries. I plead for triage, as this issue is making things much harder as I transition to serving content from a new path.
