    For the one that isn't working, it seems like jellyfin either doesn't have access to the video or you have some weird setup with symlinks or hardlinks or something.

    Also, what hardware are you running this on?  I noticed this is an Arm64 system?

    Is there a recommended format/container for Jellyfin (MP$/H.264/265)? Checking the permissions on each of the root folders, all groups have full access. Drilling down into some individual files, they also have full access.
    I did a bit of poking and SSHing for symlinks and hardlinks (Still not fully across it). I've attached what I believe to be a check for links in the folder, but it appears to show different information for some files? From checking, Hardlinks appear to be preferred, though I don't see a simple way to convert files to hardlinks?

    The Arm64 is most likely the Asustor NAS server it's running from, which is Jelly fin in a Docker container.
