Jellyfin ignoring set path for transcode saving - zeeb - 2024-09-03

I'm trying to keep transcodes off of my main boot drive as I run Jellyfin as a background process on my win11 machine, and have been having issues with the transcodes eating up the remainder space on my C drive/boot partition, however going into the admin panel and pointing the transcode save path to another drive seems ineffective, as it's still storing them in the same folder on my C drive. Any ideas? I should add that I've used the web client and the media player app both from an admin account to set the desired path, with futility. It saves the path, but ignores it.

Can you change the transcode path in the Jellyfin config, save, and then share the jellyfin log via pastebin?

I'm wondering if there is some sort of permission issue with the new path that will show up in the log.
