SOLVED: This client isn't compatible with the media...

[LittleHorus]

Hi thanks for taking time helping me, it's very much appreciated.

I'm getting an error message when I try to stream my videos, I think I know why but don't know how to fix. My media is on a second drive which I have set up to mount automatically, when I check the log it says:

 /run/media/fedora/Jellyfin/Jellyfin Server Media/tv shows/The long way down/Long Way Down (2).mp4: No such file or directory

This is the guide I used.

I'm using Fedora 39 updated, Jellyfin 10.8.13 and I think I've installed the necessary codecs.

Full log:

Thanks again.

The error is pretty obvious. Jellyfin does not have permission to some portion of your media path or your drive was unmounted.

What is the output of

Code:

cat /proc/mounts

What kind of drive was your media stored on? The only mention of the path in the error is this mount.

Code:

tmpfs /run tmpfs rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,size=1600636k,nr_inodes=819200,mode=755,inode64 0 0

And it is a tmpfs path.

The media is on the drive and I can play it using the Videos app in Linux, but doesn't play through Jellyfin locally or remotely.

You need to step through the entire folder path and make sure that the Jellyfin user has sufficient permissions to access the files. Jellyfin doesn't need to own everything. But the "other" permissions needs to be at least r-x on every step of that path if Jellyfin doesn't own it.

When I use chmod I get this:
chmod: cannot access '/data/Jellyfin': No such file or directory

I also did ls -al and got this:
drwxr-xr-x. 1 fedora fedora        0 Mar  9 01:15 'Jellyfin Server Media'

When I check the Disks app the drive is mounted, the mount point is /data. When I check +Other Locations it only shows my SSD and not the second drive. Sorry if that's not much help, fairly new to Linux.

The problem is that the video you tried to play isn't located in /data/Jellyfin.

Code:

/run/media/fedora/Jellyfin/Jellyfin Server Media/tv shows/The long way down/Long Way Down (2).mp4: No such file or directory

If you moved stuff around, you need to update the library to look in the correct location.

See attached screenshot, it is in that location and I have updated the library.

Code:

/run/media/fedora/Jellyfin/Jellyfin Server Media/tv shows/The long way down/Long Way Down (2).mp4: No such file or directory

This was the location prior to making the drive auto mount. When I try to add the current location in Jellyfin it doesn't exist.

Did you reboot or remount since changing /etc/fstab?
