Hi Forum,
I am new to Jellyfin and well quite a few other things that I'm trying to overcome.
I feel that I've really thrown myself into the deep end but really want to try and work through this, if I can.
Some background:
I have multiple PC's in my house, I thought it might be a good idea to set up 1 as a host for some VM's (I think this is where its all started to go wrong). I am running Windows 10 on my host and HyperV for the VM's. I have set up my first VM (which I want as a media server) with Ubuntu as the OS. I've been through and updated / upgraded multiple things and can access it through a terminal on another PC. I've added Jellyfin server and can access that on another PC.
The issue:
The issue that I am facing is when I attempt to add libraries. I have set up a Virtual drive for all my media. This is at the location of "/media/rob/MediaFiles" I have other subfolders set up for Films, TV shows and Music however, whenever I try and find this on Jellyfin, I can get as far as /media/rob/ and nothing else shows.
I've created a group and added jellyfin user to that but that didn't work
I've gone down rabbit holes trying to find the solution, nothing that I seem to search for comes up with anything, I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Can anyone point me in the right direction at least?
