Can't scan files on USB drive connected to R-Pi - debruyneOneTouch - 2024-01-02

First day with Jellyfin. It plays media stored on R-Pi SD RAM successfully

I attached a USB drive with existing media. This USB drive was previously attached to a Windows machine. Changed owner of USB files to same as Jellyfin user.

Jellyfin can't find subfolders of  /media/<user_name>.  Error message about path no found.  However VLC on R-Pi can see and play files on this USB that are in /media/<user_name>/sub_folder.

Jellyfin can create library folder from directory /media/<user_name> however library scans return empty. 

Jellyfin can  create library folder from directory /media and scan finds files. These files are on the R-Pi and not USB drive

Suggestions?

What are the mount parameters of this hard drive?

Code:
cat /proc/mounts

Code:
/dev/sda1 /media/<my_user_id>/One\040Touch exfat rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,iocharset=utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0

The top directory of the USB appears as "One Touch" in Windows. 

A couple of /dev contents in case they are relevant:
