Describe the bug

I am running ubuntu 26.04 with all updates applied (nightly script)
I have been running JF for a few years and always apply latest versions
I have a large video library with nested Movie folders

example:
/Movies shared as "Movies"
/Movies/Group1 shared as "Group1"
/Movies/Group2 shared as "Group2"

OK: The JF web server sees the 3 libraries on the home screen and all 3 have files
OK: The Wholphin v1.0.2 android client sees all 3 folders with videos
NOT-OK: Jellyfin app v0.19.9 up to recently saw everything but now the Group1 and Group2 folders are empty.

Something has changed and has broken the androidTV client from being able to see the content on those subfolders.

btw: If I search for a movie, it is found and played. This is obviously a display issue with AndroidTV interacting with RC2
