Network Storage Saying No Media - ScottieKnowz - 2024-12-15

I'm finally taking the time to migrate my Jellyfin server to my new home lab from my main PC to reduce stress on my main gaming machine.
That said, my homelab only has 2 M.2 slots and I have 3 M.2 Slots that are for my Jellyfin media at this time (3x 4TB)

So, I set up a network storage for my first time.
My MainPc is Windows 11
My HomeLab is Windows 10

I got my network storage working , to the point where through windows I did the "Map Network Drive" and it mapped to Z: /

I add this to my Docker compose file and this is what it looks like for the Jellyfin section
Code:
  jellyfin:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin:10.10.3
    container_name: jellyfin
    ports:
      - "8096:8096"  # Adjust this if Jellyfin should internally use a different port
    volumes:
      - E:/jellyfin-docker/config:/config
      - E:/jellyfin-docker/cache:/cache
      - type: bind
        source: E:/
        target: /edrive
      - type: bind
        source: F:/
        target: /fdrive
      - type: bind
        source: Z:/
        target: /zdrive
    restart: 'unless-stopped'
    environment:
      - JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=http://collinthedev.com
    extra_hosts:
      - 'host.docker.internal:host-gateway'
    networks:
      - my-network

Inside Jellyfin Admin Dashboard I added this new zdrive to the Library, and when I did I properly saw the folders that existed inside of there (Movies and Shows) however I was not seeing the new media show up.
Inside the Jellyfin Docker I saw these logs

Code:
2024-12-15 11:53:43 [16:53:43] [WRN] [31] MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.BaseItem: Library folder /zdrive/Movies is inaccessible or empty, skipping
2024-12-15 11:53:43 [16:53:43] [WRN] [31] MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.BaseItem: Library folder /zdrive/Shows is inaccessible or empty, skipping
2024-12-15 11:53:43 [16:53:43] [WRN] [31] MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.BaseItem: Library folder /config/data/playlists is inaccessible or empty, skipping
2024-12-15 11:53:44 [16:53:44] [WRN] [15] MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.BaseItem: Library folder /zdrive/Movies is inaccessible or empty, skipping
2024-12-15 11:53:44 [16:53:44] [WRN] [15] MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.BaseItem: Library folder /zdrive/Shows is inaccessible or empty, skipping

A little bit more on how I did this to hopefully provide more information.
On my MainPc I right clicked the drive, went to Properties -> Sharing and shared the folder this way. I don't know what "kind" of sharing this is. Just whatever W11 is doing natively. Reason I mention this is I saw a bunch of posts while debugging about sambra, nfs, all this other stuff and honestly it all went over my head.

I can say that I can play media just fine through Windows Explorer so the media is readable on the Homelab server, both through //MainPc/ and Z: /

Any idea on what I may be missing? 

Let me know what more information I can provide.

Thank you in advanced.

As an added note, I do not see the files through the Docker Image File Explorer so the issue lies between Docker & the Mapped Drive.
What that is however I am not sure.

And particular reason you are using docker in WSL instead of running Jellyfin directly on Windows? Do you plan on moving to Linux at some point?

Yea I like my things being very portable. There is a good chance I swap around OS here and there and having everything dockerized makes that much easier.
