    Hi, 

    I am having issues with real time monitoring of my libraries.
    Jellyfin does not automatically update when files are added in a library folder, but triggering a manual library scan works well.

    My set up:
    Jellyfin (10.11.3) is hosted in a docker container.

    Compose:

    Code:
      jellyfin:
        image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest
        container_name: jellyfin
        environment:
          - PUID=1000
          - PGID=10
          - TZ=${TZ}
        volumes:
          - /volume1/docker/jellyfin-stack/config/jellyfin:/config
          - /volume1/docker/jellyfin-stack/data/cache/jellyfin:/cache
          - /volume1/video/tv-shows:/data/media/tv
          - /volume1/video/movies:/data/media/movies
        ports:
          - 8096:8096
          - 7359:7359/udp
        devices:
          - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128
        restart: unless-stopped

    At startup I can see in the logs that the Directory Watcher is having permission issues. But after that it still claims to be watching?..:

    Code:
    [18:23:51] [ERR] [9] Emby.Server.Implementations.IO.LibraryMonitor: Permission error for Directory watcher: /data/media/movies
    System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/data/media/movies' is denied.
    ---> System.IO.IOException: Permission denied
      --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
    [18:23:51] [ERR] [15] Emby.Server.Implementations.IO.LibraryMonitor: Permission error for Directory watcher: /data/media/tv
    System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/data/media/tv' is denied.
    ---> System.IO.IOException: Permission denied
      --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
    [18:23:51] [INF] [15] Emby.Server.Implementations.IO.LibraryMonitor: Watching directory /data/media/tv
    [18:23:51] [INF] [9] Emby.Server.Implementations.IO.LibraryMonitor: Watching directory /data/media/movies

    Listing the permissions/owners of all folders in folder structure in question it looks like this:

    Code:
    ls -ld /volume1 /volume1/video /volume1/video/movies /volume1/video/tv-shows
    drwxrwxrwx 1 Adm1n admin 224 Nov 26 18:59 /volume1
    drwxrwxrwx 1 Adm1n admin 104 Nov 28 18:19 /volume1/video
    drwxrwxrwx 1 Adm1n admin 190 Nov 28 18:19 /volume1/video/movies
    drwxrwxrwx 1 Adm1n admin 348 Nov 28 16:44 /volume1/video/tv-shows

    I have looked through loads of guides and forum posts, but I haven't seen anything that explains this.
    Any ideas? Any more information I can provide?
