    Hello, I am new to using Jellyfin and TrueNas Scale (or any similar software)

    I followed a video to install JellyFin from the catalog in TrueNas.  I got it running, I go to set up my media libraries and when I get to adding folders I can see the Data Set I created "Media", but it doesn't create any folders here.  In the video I was following they were able to select Media and then under that select Movies for example, but I can't seem to figure out how to get to that point.

    After much Googling, I the only thing I see people mentioning involve the permissions maybe not being correct.  But I am not able to follow where that needs to be addressed.

    Currently "Everyone" has permissions to the folder. 
    I tried editing the Shares to allow the apps group to have user full control, adding a subset, adding regular folders on the network.  

    Can anyone help me get past this point?
