Can not add a library - Ginosergio - 2024-11-07

Hi ! I set up Jellyfin some months ago, adding libraries that point to folders of my Synology NAS that contain movies. That works well but I do not remember exactly how I have done it !! Now I wish to add a folder that contains TV series. I have added a folder to the Jellyfin server config on my NAS and named it /media3 as you can see below:

Then I started again Jellyfin in the Container Manager, then using my client in a Chrome Browser I try to add this library as a TV Show / Series:

But when I click on the PLUS sign, to search the folder, /media3 does not show up. What I am missing ? I have to wait that the server scan this folder ? Maybe that this folder can not work because it is into an external USB disk attached to the NAS, and NOT into an "internal" volume ??

From this config page on the Synology NAS I see that the new folder was saved:

thank you if you can help

For someone that may have the same issue:

Solution Found ! Look at my third screenshot. I just have to click the single / to go up one level, and from there it list all the folders including media3. I do not know why the other 4 match the 4 folders that I previously had in the config....
