I am having the worst time with Jellyfin and getting started. I downloaded everything that was needed, got the account made and all that. However, two issues: 1- can’t get Jellyfin to find my folders for music or videos, and 2- can’t seem to login with a different device to engage in streaming. I’m trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong. Help?
- Edit: I am running CachyOS, and how I downloaded was mixed through AUR and Octopi for dependencies.
If it is linux check the folder permissions. All issues I had with it and what posts I have seen online all go back to Jellyfin not having access to the folders because it was set for e.g. root user and Jellyfin was not running as that (it shouldn’t of course,just change the folder permissions to include Jellyfin).
If you installed via docker I think there is a setting to define which pernissions its container should get, maybe that is also set wrong.
