@KAutumnrain okay, thanks. I 755'd the media folder tree and jellyfin server says no permission. On their forums I got the idea the drive had to be mounted with jellyfin ownership. I'll RTFM more
@KAutumnrain hmmm, worth a try!
@KAutumnrain update: still the same error. Gut says it's to do with how the drive is mounted, so I'll dig in on that. Lot of reports of this problem and a lot of different solutions. Good to know it definitely can work the way I want.
@b4cks4w
all good. I've tested it on both Mac and Linux with the same effects. There does seem to be a limitation with this but I'm not sure why. Suggestion: might a symlink work?
