    I've never done this before, and I'm wondering how similar it would behave to symlinks.  Have you checked the permissions back at the home folder?  I'm not sure whether the permissions reported in /jellyfinmedia would match the original mount location.

    I chose this approach because my home partition had the most available free space and I need a lot to be able to digitize my DVD/BR collection. I first setup out to use symlinks but that didn't seem to work with jellyfin if I recall correctly.

    The permissions on the directory in home and any changes to it carry through instantly to /jellyfinmedia. If none of the three folders that make up the libraries worked I'd have a much easier time.

    I also just added a music library using /jellyfinmedia/music as a folder and added an album to test things out and everything just works. So it makes me think this has to be related to Jellyfin refusing to work with two separate Movie libraries with my setup.

    Quote:Also, what distro are you using?  I'm assuming some RHEL derivative?
    Yes, I'm using Fedora at the moment.

    I'm pondering just reinstalling jellyfin and try to see if my approach of mounting a home directory is to blame. In any case I like to thank you for all the help you've provided. It's much appreciated.
