Error adding path - gucu - 2025-02-02
Hi
My media library is backed up to Google drive using Insync and the path is
/home/r***/Insync/****@gmail.com/Google Drive/Videos
I try adding this directly but it doesn't like it. I have tried using sudo setfacl -m u:jellyfin:rx with the location enclosed but it still doesn't allow me to add the directory.
Any ideas please?
Thanks
Rich

The ACL needs to be applied on every directory starting at /home/username.

Thanks for the reply. Worked perfectly. Just one question, can I add the directory Videos and then ask Jellyfin to scan all sub directories please?
Thanks

If you haven't already, you need to recursively set the ACL to all the sub directories as well. Add a -R to setfacl command and run it against /home/r***/Insync/****@gmail.com/Google Drive/Videos.
Once you do that, Jellyfin will recursively scan. But you still need to conform to our documented folder structure for each library type.
