    I currently store my files with Disbox (https://github.com/DisboxApp/web) and I want to mount it to my PC using rclone. I am currently attempting this with Disbox's FTP implementation (https://github.com/tris203/disftp). My question is, if I successfully mount my FTP server with rclone, will it work to stream my files via Jellyfin?

    Here is a link to my current progress with rclone if anyone is interested: https://forum.rclone.org/t/mounting-ftp-...ders/43373

    In theory, yes.
    As long as JF sees the files as part of any filesystem, it should be able to play them.
    However with FTP, as i tried with other mediaservers before there might be issues as FTP is generally a pain with random access.
    typos are finders, keepers.

    Thanks for the response, I'll play around with it and see how it works. I'm currently trying to map my ftp server with rclone
