media config file

[J_Net Reloaded]

I need location of media config file as docker uses but im not using docker i installed via apt install command on rpi 5 linux ubuntu by adding it in keyring and updating and installing directly and i found the config file for web and added in media locations but still after restarting jellyfin it sais i have no media yet and to add , so i click add and put in location and nothing is found i had this all working before maybe via docker back in the day and used overide config options to add media location paths that way, but not using docker now and wish to do the same

location i found for  a web config for jellyfin is /usr/share/jellyfin/web/config.json
and attempted to add in media path locations here but after restarting jf it still sais no media and still it wont  allow me to add in when i put in the path  to media manually either, can you let me  know what im doing wrong?

here is example of the config file i tried

I fixed it by setting permissions for jellyfin after adding it to the same group as owner heres example

sudo usermod -aG jay jellyfin
sudo chmod -R 770 /media/jay
sudo chmod g+s /media/jay

sudo systemctl restart jellyfin
