Sounds a bit like yours.  They had to make a config change on their server hosting the SMB share.

hmmm interesting. Checking the output from 'mount' in my debian terminal for the Jellyfin server container, my cifs shares report as cache=strict. I'll have to see if I can edit what got setup in there to make that loose and see if it helps. Certainly something else to try! Hopefully I can mod this, as those shares must have been copied over from the Synology mount points... i guess that is how Jellyfin makes use of them.
