    uid,gid should be jellyfin's uid,gid not the default user's
    potential issues being mounted to /(yourusername)/ as that location is likely only accessible to your user
    NTFS can have issues on linux since it uses windows permissions on the files instead of linux

    for best results; have fstab mount the drive instead of autofs, use EXT4 and have all the permissions setup
    if you need dual permissions then acls can be used to grant extra users

    try the fstab method first and perhaps it won't "have to be" formatted if we can get linux to mount it accessible to the jellyfin user

    last note for posterity;
    jellyfin should also only be ran as a restrictive user which does not have access to anything more than is required for operation
