SOLVED: No media appears in new Jellyfin setup

[Tr33MuggeR]

I have what appears to be a fully functioning Jellyfin 10.9.11 setup, complete with {Things we don't talk about, unnecessary to question - TDP}.  I'm running it with Docker on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS.  It's a headless server that I remote into using xRDP and xfce.

All of the latter containers are communicating perfectly, proven to myself by having .mvf movies and shows, along with some stored .mp3 music, in my Jellyfin media database.

The issue is that the Jellyfin portal shows no media, no matter how many times I scan the database, re-assign folder paths, and double-check permissions.

Every container in my docker-compose.yaml uses the same PUID:PGID, and I've performed

Code:

sudo chown -R uid:gid /media

and

Code:

sudo chown -R /jellyfin/docker-compose.yaml

In my troubleshooting, I've tried changing PUID:PGID for everything (even attempted 0:0 for fun), and changing permissions, and performing sudo chmod -R 777 on the same folders.

Nothing changes, and the logs still only say the media folders are "inaccessible or empty".


Folder structure is as follows:

-SSD
---/home/[user]/jellyfin/
------docker-compose.yaml
------[all config files]

-HDD
---/media/[user]/[drive folder]/Jellyfin/...
------/media/[movies/tv/music/books folders]


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
