unable to select media folder - FireBurst - 2024-08-22
New to linux here but managed to install jellyfin on Debian 12. I am stuck at loading my media into jellyfin dashboard.
My jellyfin server is on my SSD and my movies are on my Hard Drive (named "nas" here). When I attempt to choose the path, I can't go past media/nas1. I don't see the folder "Movies" in it, from Jellyfin dashboard. Why so? The permissions seem fine. I don't know how to allow jellyfin in permission if this is what im missing.
See screenshots as attachments.

The permissions on /media/nas1 aren't open enough.
Code:
sudo chmod go+rx /media/nas1RE: unable to select media folder - FireBurst - 2024-08-22
