Files need to be executable iirc, verify permission and compare permissions from a file that is shown in your library from a file that isn't.
Interesting. Thanks for that. I ran a
chmod +x --recursive .
in my library root but still those files won't show up in Jellyfin.Edit: I just found this link about file naming. Did I understand well that Jellyfin is expecting files to be named in a certain way?

If that's true that's not really ideal, I expected I could just throw files or folders in the library root and Jellyfin would find them?
You should remove the executable permission, see my other reply. Movie files should never be executable, but directories should be.
chmod -R -x+X *
should do the trick, that will remove the executable permission on all files, and set it on directories.
