Issues with folder scanning - argentsquest - 2024-09-06
Hi,
As the title suggests, i'm having trouble getting the folders i've pointed Jellyfin at to scan, I am very rusty at this as only been using windows for a while, dusted off my old server box to tinker with OMV and JellyFin so i'm hoping its just the fact its been a long week and i'm missing something extremely simple!
I've adjusted the data file for the container from
Quote: - CHANGE_TO_COMPOSE_DATA_PATH/jellyfin/library: /config
- CHANGE_TO_COMPOSE_DATA_PATH/jellyfin/tvseries: /Videos/Series
- CHANGE_TO_COMPOSE_DATA_PATH/jellyfin/movies: /Videos/Movies
to :
Quote: - CHANGE_TO_COMPOSE_DATA_PATH/jellyfin/library: /config
- /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-e17d7ab1-19b3-4da1-9f55-5986855ed583/Videos/Series: /Videos/Series
- /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-e17d7ab1-19b3-4da1-9f55-5986855ed583/Videos/Movies: /Videos/Movies
I've made sure the user has r/w access to the shared folders, and the subfolders within but the scan completes in less than a second (flashes up and quickly vanishes), log file attached - as I said hopefully i've just misunderstood / misremembered something and someone can slap some sense back into me!
Edit: spaces added in filenames are deliberate to stop emojis appearing!

I see this message.
Code:
[2024-09-06 09:30:58.133 +01:00] [WRN] [22] MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.BaseItem: Library folder "/data/tvshows" is inaccessible or empty, skipping

The path to the left of the colon is the host path and to the right of the colon is the path it is mounted to inside the container. You are attempting to use the host path inside the container, which doesn't exist in the container's virtual file system.

Fixed, thanks - I knew it would be simple but i'd been at it so long i'd gone blind. Everythings working perfectly as planned!
