    ive been trying to allow jellyfin access to the external hard drive. I go to the localhost control panel and look to add the drive folder but jellyfin cant even see the drives directory.

    I have mounted my external hardrive in fstab to home/pirate/storage. ( yes i know its not good to mount to your home folder, i don't care, unless its the problem) 

    UUID=773EE99261AB03BC    /home/pirate/storage            ntfs    defaults 0 0


    It seems like no matter what I do the external drive is owned by root.

    $ groups jellyfin
    pirate media jellyfin

    $ groups pirate
    wheel lp sys network power autologin pirate

    ill be honest, im not very good with the terminal, iv been playing with chown and chmod to try and give jellyfin access to my external drive.


    I appreciate anyone's help and thank you
