Live TV recordings
when you create a new folder for file recording chmod 775 /video/record no files recordings
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 6 Jan 22 17:37 record

Does the Jellyfin user have permission to write to /video/recordings?

ls -l /video/recordings

RE: Live TV recordings - pup - 2025-01-22

ls -l /video/record
total 0

I already understood that for recording the jellyfin user must have rights to the folder. The jellyfin user may not have rights to the video files folder. Correct

Thanks

I see you updated the opening post. These permissions are not sufficient for Jellyfin to write to them. Jellyfin has its own user, it does not run as root.

Code:
sudo chmod 755 /video

sudo chown -R jellyfin: /video/record

sudo chmod -R 750 /video/record

Thnaks

RE: Live TV recordings - pup - 2025-01-22

And it is possible for each user to have their own recording folder
Everyone at home can see what I'm recording ?
So that one does not see what the other has

No. You can only define one folder to record to. You'd need to manually separate the recordings into separate libraries.
