    I just installed Jellyfin 10.9.9 on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

    When I try to navigate to my "Multimedia" folder (located in /home) using the "Add Library" directory path navigator, I do not see the "Multimedia" folder as available to add. I have tried moving  "Multimedia" folder to /root/snap/jellyfinmediaplayer but the "Multimedia" folder is too large to move there. I've seen mention of giving Jellyfin access to my "Multimedia" folder, but I'm not sure how to do that. I suspect that there is a simple fix here, so I thought it'd be worth asking on this forum.

    If you have files you need to share with another user/process, it should never be from your home directory. Your home directory has very restrictive permissions that should not be opened up.

    And the JMP SNAP folder is not a valid location either due to how SNAPs are sandboxed.

    Move your videos/music to something like /media (create a sub folder in there). That directory is meant to be used for shared files.
