If you use @jellyfin@mastodon.online (an excellent media server), and it is not updating when you add / scan for new files, check the logs - I found that there was an error with one file which was stopping the update.
I recreated the problematic directory (mkdir -p whatever it was) and then the problematic file (touch file name), and then I re-ran a scan. It worked. New episode alerts flooded in.
After that, I deleted the directory and re-scanned.

I am a consumer, purchasing less than £30 worth of stuff.

I wonder if I'll bump into anyone else who uses Linux or BSD here...
A spokesperson for Pornhub told the BBC: "As we've seen in many jurisdictions around the world, there is often a drop in traffic for compliant sites and an increase in traffic for non-compliant sites."
According to an online metrics service that I hadn't heard of before, UK visitors to PornHub have dropped following the Online Safety Act age assurance implementation date.
VPNs might have a hand in this, so to speak.

Oof.
Perhaps I am just a jaded, cynical lawyer, but hearing that someone is so fundamentally dependent on a single third party service, which could terminate, suspend, or otherwise impede their account at any time with little recourse, makes me nervous.
