Thank you very much. So on my thumb drive I created a folder called "jellyfin Movies" and in that folder put my renamed movie (Sherlock Holmes (2009) [tmdbid-10528].mp4).
Under Libraries, the path I used (ctrl+L) to add to "folder" was this "/mnt/usb-General_UDisk_2409181453306224934310-0:0-part1/jellyfin Movies" When I "scan all libraries", I still get a split second progress bar flash but nothing is found.
Believing that somehow I'm not able to get it to read an external drive, but perhaps a file on my computer's SSD drive would be different, I put another .mp4 file into the native "videos" folder in Ubuntu. African Queen (1952) [tmdbid-488].mp4. I obtained the path /home/<my name>/Videos by pressing "ctrl+L" but when I scan all libraries, I get the dreaded "The path could not be found. Please ensure the path is valid and try again." Under permissions, I am the "owner" and "group" of this file and have read and write access of this file.
At least in the second try, it seems permission is not the problem. Any other thoughts? Does it seem like my "paths" are correct? Thanks.
