I have spent days looking for a solution before asking for help on this but I can not find an easy answer.
I have a Ugreen NAS that I setup about a month ago. Originally I set up two 12TB drives in raid and 2 512GB M2 drives as in/out cache.
I was happily adding my collection of movies and TV shows and first tried Plex to view them. It was OK but recently Ugreen added Jellyfin as a native app and after trying it out I found it was much better for my needs. Everything was working great.
This is where the trouble started. Since I was keeping a full backup copy of all my stuff I decided to reconfigure the NAS. I changed the 2 hard drives to JBOD Volume 1 and the 2 M2 drives to JBOD Volume 2.
After restoring all the files back to Volume1\media Movies, TV Shows and Music Videos I reinstalled docker and Jellyfin to Volume2 for faster performance.
I was having trouble accessing any of the Jellyfin accounts and after a lot of work and reading here I was able to do the setup again and with a new Jellyfin account log into the web browser.
I have been unable to add any libraries since it appears that Jellyfin does not have read/write access to the media folder any longer. Under the Ugreen NAS User Management I might have deleted the Jellyfin account. Multiple reinstallations and it has not recreated it.
I can not find what username and password to use to create it myself to give Jellyfin access to the media folders.
I hope I have included enough information here to make it an easy fix.
Thank you for looking and I hope I can be help to others in the future on this site.
