Ok, senior here raising 2 toddlers and this foray into linux because billy bob wants us buy new equipment and can't do that right now lol. Anyway, I new to linux, using mint 22. It seems fine, journey trying to learn to do things however.
I had tried other programs and had same problem with libraries not showing up when adding files etc.. none of the others worked at all. Jellyfin partially worked. I was successful to get some files working. Partial libraries in movie and tv shows. They are all showing up together, mostly in folder view but also in the movie directory.
I tried to add music to the library just to try and learn exactly where the files were and permissions etc. I have added and deleted library with directory, such as /media/Music /home/user/Music etc etc.. but nothing seems to work...
I had tried putting user and jellyfin into each other group and then was when some movie files came in... which was nice and big accomplishment but boom could not replicate or get the files sorted right in movie directory. It just jumbles all of it together, movies shows etc... I thought well if I get music added correctly maybe I could go back and get other done correctly
But for life of me I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Really trying lol... all is new for old senior new on linux lol.
Anyway, files are not updating in library, no matter where i put them and add them.... file names don't seem to matter, least made little difference in the movies directory. So it must be permissions and users and groups again i guess.
Any help and thoughts appreciated....
My head hurts lol..
I thought it would be nice to serve some things to the roku for the two toddlers we are raising, try that on social security lol...
I thank you for help ahead of time...
be gentle on older man lol

p.s. I tried to search for this as I figured it was already here but the search for library and linux and mint etc etc did not find anything, Need spine surgery so time in chair is limited, sorry, i am sure there are many threads for this but i could not find them with search.........
