Hi all,
I am a Plex user that is trying to move to Jellyfin for some time now. But I just can get it to work right. Before (a year ago?) I had trouble with subtitles being out of sync and also the problem below. After giving up for a while, a couple weeks ago I decided to give it another go.
My setup:
- Proxmox Server
- Openmediavault 6 running in a VM hosting all my media files.
- Plex running in a LXC container on Ubuntu (install by root user).
- Jellyfin running in a LXC container on Debian (using the install script with root user).
- Radarr/Sonarr running in a LXC container on Ubuntu in a docker container with PUID=1001 and GUID=100 (running docker-compose up -d as root user).
My workflow:
Radarr manages the movie files. It moves the files automatically to the folder that Jellyfin has access to via NFS
My problem:
After Radarr moves the movie files to the directory that Jellyfin has access to via NFS, Jellyfin can find the movies, but cannot play them. I have to do a chmod command every time Radarr adds a new movie to be able to play it. Plex has access to that same directory, also via NFS, and it can see and play them just fine.
The additional problem I have is that after doing the chmod command, I can't move or delete files manually anymore from my Windows laptop via SMB.
Why PUID 1001 and GUID 100?:
It is an old solution to a problem I had where Radarr was not able to move files created by qBittorrent. After some troubleshooting, I got it to work by running Radarr with these PUID and GUID. I have a feeling my problem with Jellyfin is related to this.
My question:
How could I make it so that Jellyfin can "simply" see and play back movies without having to to a chmod command after adding a new movie?
Let me know if I can provide some additional info. And thanks in advance for any help. I'd really like to leave Plex behind. =)
