    Quote:My question is how do I go about accessing the NAS through Ubuntu so the Jellyfin can access the media?

    Through a network share mounted on your server. You can use Samba or NFS to mount the correct location(s) to the host, then Jellyfin will have access as well. Permissions can be a little tricky with NFS but you can also squash the perms so that everybody who accesses appears to be the owner of the media.

    Quote:One thing I have noticed with Jellyfin is that the metadata is not . . . concrete. I will go through and manually identify files or change the picture and a few days later it has changed. Can any one explain to me why Jellyfin does this?

    This all depends on how you have media scanning set up to operate as well as how you scan your libraries manually (if you do so). When you "replace all metadata", Jellyfin will do its best to match what your files tell it. If something isn't parsing correctly, you can add the tmdbid to the folder to indicate a little better what it is.

    You can also change an item and lock it so that future scans won't replace that particular metadata. My initial scans will pick up missing metadata, but my libraries are never refreshed afterwards since I always check for correct parsing.
