Can't get JF to find my movies

Additional permission restrictions are usually applied to USB drives that are almost certainly preventing Jellyfin from accessing it.

On a command prompt and run these commands. Unrelated, Jellyfin does not use IMDB for any metadata. TMDB is the default provider.

Also, replace "yourUser" with your actual Ubuntu username.

Code:

cd /media
sudo mkdir -p "Movies/Sherlock Holmes (2009) [tmdbid-10528]"
sudo chown -R yourUser:jellyfin Movies

Now copy the movie on your thumb drive to this folder.

Code:

sudo chown -R yourUser:jellyfin Movies
sudo chmod -R g+rx Movies

Add this folder to Jellyfin and scan.
