Not Showing Subdirectories - axxf - 2025-03-16

Hi everyone,

I installed Jellyfin on my Ubuntu VPS using Docker and mounted a media folder from my Windows machine via SMB (over an OpenVPN connection). The issue I'm facing is that when adding a media library in Jellyfin, only the base path /media/Jellyfin is visible. However, subdirectories like /media/Jellyfin/English, /media/Jellyfin/Animation, and /media/Jellyfin/Indonesia are not listed, which results in my movies not appearing in the library.

Here’s how I set up the mount:
**SMB Mount Configuration (/etc/fstab)**

Code:
//10.8.0.2/Movies /media/Jellyfin cifs username=axxf,password=MY_PASSWORD,uid=ubuntu,gid=ubuntu,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

**Directory Listing (ls -l /media/Jellyfin)**

Code:
drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Mar 15 11:21 Animation

drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Mar 15 11:31 English

drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Mar 15 11:14 Indonesia

drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Mar 15 11:14 Malay

drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Mar 15 11:02 Tamil

The subdirectories exist and have the correct permissions (777), but Jellyfin does not detect them. Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Any suggestions or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated!
Let me know if further details are needed.

Thanks in advance! 😊

Add "noperm" to the mount parameters.
