Jellyfin deletes all media metadata when unable to access media filles

[TheDreadPirate]

In the service file you can add "RequiresMountsFor=/your/cifs/mount/path"

The service file is located at

/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/jellyfin.service

Using my service file as an example, you would add RequiresMountFor like this.

Code:

[Unit]
Description = Jellyfin Media Server
After = network-online.target

[Service]
RequiresMountsFor=/media/library
Type = simple
EnvironmentFile = /etc/default/jellyfin
User = jellyfin
Group = jellyfin
WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/jellyfin
ExecStart = /usr/bin/jellyfin $JELLYFIN_WEB_OPT $JELLYFIN_FFMPEG_OPT $JELLYFIN_SERVICE_OPT $JELLYFIN_NOWEBAPP_OPT $JELLYFIN_ADDITIONAL_OPTS
Restart = on-failure
TimeoutSec = 15
SuccessExitStatus=0 143
