    Hi everyone, 

    I installed Jellyfin on my Ubuntu VPS using Docker and mounted a media folder from my Windows machine via SMB (over an OpenVPN connection). The issue I'm facing is that when adding a media library in Jellyfin, only the base path /media/Jellyfin is visible. However, subdirectories like /media/Jellyfin/English, /media/Jellyfin/Animation, and /media/Jellyfin/Indonesia are not listed, which results in my movies not appearing in the library.

    Here’s how I set up the mount: 
    **SMB Mount Configuration (/etc/fstab)**
    Code:
    //10.8.0.2/Movies /media/Jellyfin cifs username=axxf,password=MY_PASSWORD,uid=ubuntu,gid=ubuntu,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

    **Directory Listing (ls -l /media/Jellyfin)**
    Code:
    drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Mar 15 11:21 Animation
    drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Mar 15 11:31 English
    drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Mar 15 11:14 Indonesia
    drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Mar 15 11:14 Malay
    drwxrwxrwx 2 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Mar 15 11:02 Tamil

    The subdirectories exist and have the correct permissions (777), but Jellyfin does not detect them. Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Any suggestions or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated! 
    Let me know if further details are needed. 

    Thanks in advance! 😊

    Add "noperm" to the mount parameters.
