Hi everyone,
I installed Jellyfin on my Ubuntu VPS using Docker and mounted a media folder from my Windows machine via SMB (over an OpenVPN connection). The issue I'm facing is that when adding a media library in Jellyfin, only the base path
Here’s how I set up the mount:
**SMB Mount Configuration (
**Directory Listing (
The subdirectories exist and have the correct permissions (
Let me know if further details are needed.
Thanks in advance! 😊
I installed Jellyfin on my Ubuntu VPS using Docker and mounted a media folder from my Windows machine via SMB (over an OpenVPN connection). The issue I'm facing is that when adding a media library in Jellyfin, only the base path
/media/Jellyfin is visible. However, subdirectories like /media/Jellyfin/English, /media/Jellyfin/Animation, and /media/Jellyfin/Indonesia are not listed, which results in my movies not appearing in the library.Here’s how I set up the mount:
**SMB Mount Configuration (
/etc/fstab)**Code:
//10.8.0.2/Movies /media/Jellyfin cifs username=axxf,password=MY_PASSWORD,uid=ubuntu,gid=ubuntu,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0**Directory Listing (
ls -l /media/Jellyfin)** Code:
drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Mar 15 11:21 Animation
drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Mar 15 11:31 English
drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Mar 15 11:14 Indonesia
drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Mar 15 11:14 Malay
drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Mar 15 11:02 TamilThe subdirectories exist and have the correct permissions (
777), but Jellyfin does not detect them. Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Any suggestions or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if further details are needed.
Thanks in advance! 😊
