Seeking Help with Adding Media issue (LINUX)

[Gotta]

Hello, I'm having three issues at the moment.


System:
  Kernel: 6.8.0-45-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: N/A Desktop: Xfce 4.18.1 tk: Gtk 3.24.33
    info: xfce4-panel wm: xfwm 4.18.0 vt: 7 dm: LightDM 1.30.0 Distro: Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia
    base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy

Jellyfin Server - 10.9.11

--Problem 1--

When i go to Add Media it gives me this Prompt
"The path could not be found. Please ensure the path is valid and try again."
using my google-fu i came across a few threads with people having similar issues.
someone had mentioned Flatpaks run it as the USER / OWNER?
and that the CLi of the updated installation the USER could be Jellyfin instead, and that you would have to give Read/Write Permissions to it (I have no idea how i would go about doing this)
On the Previous version everything was working ( besides allowing outside connections to the server, which got me looking up the issue, and someone said it may because im using an out of date version? )

it should be noted that the Media is stored on Multiple Hard Drives - im trying to add in, which is on another drive for example.

/media/mert/New Volume/uTorrent

--Problem 2--

I'm currently having an issue where Outside connections are unable to connect to the server - which im starting to think it's a Linux issue, possibly Firewall, because i used to run Win10 host and it worked fine.

--Problem 3--

Because i installed via CLi - my old Jellyfin Server Icon tries to host the Previous Version and not 10.9.11 - i had to re-run "

Code:

curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

Here's the entire prompt of the installation process of the CLi command

Code:

mert@mert:~$ curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

/media/mert/New Volume/uTorrent

This is your problem.

This the udisk2 mount location for secondary storage.  udisk2 will place an ACL (access control list) on /media/mert, which is preventing the jellyfin user from accessing that location.  You could remove the ACL, but that is a temporary solution.  The proper solution is to mount this storage via /etc/fstab.

I've written a guide for mounting drives via /etc/fstab.  And it doubles as a linux permissions primer to help understand why this happens.
