    Ok, just noticed that. But on the host each folder needs permission conner jellyfin not just the media.
    i.e:
    var
    lib
    docker
    volumes
    jellfin_media
    movies
    music
    tv

    As thdreadpirate said, it's easier to have your media mount to the /media folder

    The guide that theguymadmax linked (my guide) mentions that whatever user is trying to access a directory needs a minimum r-x permissions on every directory in that path to navigate to the directory that you've given your user full permissions to.  So while your media directory is owned by you, your user may not have sufficient permissions to navigate to it.

    If you're struggling with linux permissions, move your media to /media.  That way you can safely just grant yourself full ownership of that entire path.

    This worked for me, I didn't know how to mount a volume anywhere but there which is why I wasnt but after I figured out how to mount volumes to other folders I mounted /media and it worked. Thanks for the help.
