Cant get videos to play - Slugger 94 - 2024-03-31
I'm using TrueNAS scale, and I downloaded the jellyfin APP on it.
I set up 3 different Locations for video storage so I can organize my files smoothly (working as intended. videos all show up in the correct location on Jellyfin, despite not being able to play.)
Media file type:
MP4 (recorded on iPhone and uploaded to PC then to the NAS jellyfin file)
Hardware:
Old dell OptiPlex 790 w/ i5-2400
Drive is 750gb HDD
App Version: 10.8.13.1
Chart Version: 1.2.7

Any help would mean a LOOOOT!
-Thank you in advance!
RE: Cant get videos to play - TheDreadPirate - 2024-03-31
The slow HTTP response messages are rarely useful. There is a setting in the Logs Dashboard to turn them off.
But the root of your problem is the permission denied message. Jellyfin can't play it if it doesn't have permission to read it.

RE: Cant get videos to play - Slugger 94 - 2024-03-31
Figured out the solution.
I needed to go into the file from my windows PC (like you would for an internal storage device), right click for properties -> security -> edit (under "Group or user names:") -> *add permissions manually there for apps/other people*
frustrating how that isn't set up like that when the when I set it up through the NAS GUI.
-Thank you TheDreadPirate!!!
RE: Cant get videos to play - TheDreadPirate - 2024-03-31
I have no idea the specifics for a TrueCharts setup. From the command line you can ensure that Jellyfin has at least R-X access to the directory and R-- of the files. That can be through direct ownership of the directory, group ownership, or "other" permissions.
