SOLVED: Media Saving Locally and NOT to Mounted OMV Folder

[zalterego36]

Good morning,

I'm having issues with my set up. I was previously using Jellyfin directly as a Container in OMV and everything was saving nicely to the specific folders where the media was located. However, I had some issues and ultimately decided to keep Jellyfin and OMV separate.

I set up an Ubuntu server with Jellyfin and got everything installed, then I mounted the OMV SMB folder via fstab using the following:

//000.000.0.00/media /media/share cifs user=USER,pass=PASS,rw,uid=1000,gid=100

And everything was read perfectly. My libraries populated and we were off to the races! Then I noticed that it wasn't saving newly downloaded images or subtitles (or anything) in the media folders the way it had previously.

I've tried adding a user in OMV with the same name and PW as my Jellyfin admin, and I gave them them RW permissions over the SMB folder.

Any suggestions?

The drive I used in the Jellyfin server isn't very large...it's not tiny or anything, but I'd rather not fill it with tons of images and such when there's a perfectly good media sever just a LAN cable away.

Thank you!
