    If they are NTFS formatted drives we would need to modify the ACL.

    Code:
    cat /proc/mounts | grep violet

    If they are ext4 formatted drives, the following command would remove the ACL and grant Jellyfin permission to read the drives.

    Code:
    sudo setfacl -b /media/violet/pi1.0/
    sudo setfacl -b /media/violet/pi2.0/

    If they are NTFS formatted drives, this command would change the ACL to allow Jellyfin.

    Code:
    sudo setfacl -m user:jellyfin:rwx,group:media:rwx /media/violet/pi1.0/
    sudo setfacl -m user:jellyfin:rwx,group:media:rwx /media/violet/pi2.0/

    both drives are formatted as BTRFS. i ran the command you mentioned for ext4 and other native Linux file systems. my Movies library is...still empty. could the invalid filepath for the Movies metadata i mentioned in my original post have something to do with this? (and how would i edit where jellyfin stores the metadata for the Movies library?)

    for reference, i've attached a screenshot of the "Edit Metadata" popup for my Movies library.
