    I figured this out and am going to write up a summary of how I got this working (for me at least)
    • Im using a Windows Desktop with Jellyfin installed as a Service.
    • My media lives on a Synology NAS (IP: 192.168.1.2) which is on the same network as my Windows Desktop
    • In Windows Services, I searched for the Jellyfin service and looked into properties. From there I went to the "Log on" tab and set it to "This account". I changed the default user to be the user that I am currently logged in and running the service as, so in my case, my windows user was "puffin\milly". From there I provided the password I use to login and clicked apply and restarted the service. If done correctly, the service will show ".\milly" (in my case) under the "Log on As" column.
    • Then I used the windows file Explorer and used "Map a network drive..", and for the location, I specified "\\192.168.1.2\Movies" and got it mapped.
    • Then in Jellyfin, for the folder location I specified "\\192.168.1.2\Movies" and for the network, "\\192.168.1.2" as show in the screenshot.

    That was it and my movies appeared instantly!
