Howdy all,
just a gentle first post here and a slight query with getting Jellyfin up and running.
I'm wanting to build an Unraid box in the future and have a media server on it (among other things). I want to try out Jellyfin so I've downloaded a copy onto my Linux main machine here just to get experience with how it works.
So- I'm setting it up. Jellyfin is up and running and I've downloaded Swiftfin on my Iphone to see if I can stream from the PC. And this is where I've run into a slight issue.
Jellyfin asks to designate media folders- but when I do that, I'm getting a "The path could not be found. Please ensure the path is valid and try again."
Granted, I'm completely new to this and not entirely familiar with the Linux ecosystem. Any ideas on what I should look to fix?
Many thanks,
Darren
