firejailed firefox & media id - maverickar - 2023-12-18
Hi,
Whenever I go to a library and try to select a media folder, Jellyfin doesn't recognize my desired library directory (${HOME}/Downloads/my-desired-directory). I'm running Fedora and a firejailed firefox which does have access to the Downloads folder...
Any idea what's happening here?
Thanks!

When you set a library folder, you have to select a folder that exists __on the server__ not on the client (aka firefox).
The server needs to be able to see the folder you want to include.
We also strongly discourage using the home of any user as a library folder as this can lead to permission issues.
