1.5 no clue how file management works on QNAP, this isn't the QNAP forum
2. the slow loading is a good example of why installing jellyfin on a NAS is warned about on the hardware selection page; https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...-selection
maybe we can fix 1.; make sure the path you added to jellyfin is the root path to ONLY a movies folder and not the root of an entire drive; it should look like the naming scheme here https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies
and since "QNAP" there's this too https://forum.qnap.com
So I'll double check the pathway when I get home but I'm pretty sure it looks like the one you detailed.
BUT --- First I have to pick my jaw up off the ground about the NOT installing jellyfin on the NAS. I'm kind of in shock and trying to process how to deal with this. I looked at that thread you linked and see the specs. Honestly for me it's all Chinese. I don't know how my QNAP compares to any of that. But what I'm reeling from is that in all the many many videos I watched about getting started with a NAS and which ones to buy and whether to use Jellyfin or Plex I never saw anyone bring this up. I relied heavily on NASCompares on youtube and I NEVER heard him say anything about needing a totally separate computer to run Jellyfin on or that the NAS is underpowered to use Jellyfin. I followed along to multiple videos doing my exact component
set up with Jellyfin on a Qnap TS-464 and there wasn't a single mention of this.
I'm just sitting here thinking - WTF???
