Jellyfin Permissions

[mikerizzo]

Hello, I installed Ubuntu 24.04.1 desktop on my machine and then installed Jellyfin through the website code.
set everything up and added media. Jelly fin could not see the folder so through other threads I solved that issue by giving it permission. (may be a related issue)
Attempted to play a movie to test for this is the second time I have reinstalled ubuntu and jellyfin. I got the same error as last time.

completely unsure of where to go from here.
