Shared Network Folder Option not appearing (10.9.0) - crenox - 2024-03-30

Hi there,

i recently set up a Jellyfin Instance for my new NAS.
Jellyfin is running in Docker Compose, Share is directly mounted under /media.
Watching Movies etc. does work in Browser. But i want to get it working in Kodi with direct play.
In the Jellyfin Documentation the "Shared Network Folder" is supposed to show up under Libraries -> select a Library -> select Folder.
But as shown in the Screenshot i cannot see that Option.
Ist there any configuration i have to do first? I could also not find any information on how to add PathSubstitutions manually in the configs.

Thanks for the help

This mode is no longer supported in Jellyfin and you need to mount the network share in your system.

You can mount Shared Network Folders in Docker.

Here an example:

Yeah the Docker mounts are no Problem, Jellyfin has full access to all Movies ("/mnt/share/0_Videos:/media" in compose.yaml).

The Problem is Kodi on Windows, i mounted the Share on X:, added it to Kodi named it Media but still it can't find the movies.
Sad, would've been nice to have the watched state shared with jellyfin. I guess it's time for a Kodi DB again :D.

So it should work with direct access on mounted volumes?
Edit: It's a bit weird to mount /movies via SMB to the Container, while i have it locally on the same system but i give it a try

Otherwise you can try to run Docker as privileged: true

Wow now i feel dumb,

i mounted /movies and /series as extra Sources and it works Winking-face

Thank you very much anyway


Edit: just for understanding:

i had mounted the whole share /videos in Kodi
/Videos contains /movies and /series

Now with mounted /series and /movies seperately it works. Maybe this helps another helpless soul Grinning-face
