Description of the bug
This looks similar to the #12799 though I am trying to watch personal home videos that the camera recorder had organized as BDMV folders. My home video library consists of an arbitrary folder tree with either a single file, a DVD folder, or an AVCHD folder with the BDMV folder inside it, as the folder tree leafs.
(Upd: Replacing metadata doesn't help.)
(Upd2: The video archive folder structure is read only)
The "Music Video" library type was chosen as the one that seemed to respect my folder structure. See for "additional information" for a tree example. It shows as folders and videos in a Jellyfin client. I tried web client and Linux Jellyfin Media Player 1.12.0.
Individual video files play OK, but DVD (from an even older digital camera) plays only the first episode, and BDMV (the question of this issue) doesn't play at all.
VLC plays this AVCHD folder correctly, as does Kodi: they show it as a large movie with multiple chapters.
VLC shows this kind of data: Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (h264), Decoded format: Planar 4:2:0 YUV
Reproduction steps
AVCHD, preferably the files created by an old digital camera.AVCHDfolder into aVideofolder.Videofolder as a "Music Videos" library.AVCHDfolder. It will display the Play button.What is the current bug behavior?
The playback doesn't occur. The "Playback Error. Playback failed due to a fatal player error" is displayed. The concat file exists but is empty
What is the expected correct behavior?
The BDMV files should be played as a single movie

Can you check what the content of
/cache/concat/be40e1df09c4aa7d8882ed03055d184b.concatare?@fedd commented on GitHub (Nov 17, 2025):
Sure, like I said, it exists but it's empty (size 0 bytes)
It looks similar to the #12799, but the solution to replace all metadata doesn't help

Is it reproducible? Any idea what I may be doing wrong?
