A week ago I downloaded e1 and e2 via my private tracker of murderbot. My setup is that my jellyfin library directly points to the downloads folder for TV shows. This has always worked in the past, but now last week for murderbot e1 and e2 and now again this friday for e3, jellyfin only recognizes the file but cannot pull any metadata and is somehow unable to stream it to any of my clients.

I haven't tried any usual troubleshooting steps yet since I was really busy this past week, but was wondering if this is some Apple mechanism to hinder piracy.

Thoughts?

No they aren't that sophisticated. I can't think of them off the top of my head, they've all been blocked by sonarr.

I did a quick search and here are the malicious filetypes I found for Murderbot s01e04 right now: .arj .lnk

if you do a search on thepiratebay and rargb you'll find a bunch. Many of them have been blocked and reported, but they get reuploaded as fast as they get taken down. I've seen other types before though. I actually blame the *.arr stack for this. These files wouldn't get downloaded, except by the most ignorant, but the easy automation makes people complacent and more easily fall victim to the scam.
