From there you want to make sure you have the location listed as the library location in jellyfin. Then make sure the naming/file structure is correct according to the jellyfin documentation.

It’s not listed on Jellyfin but on the pc itself I can access it

Did you create a library in jellyfin?

[–] Pacrat173@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That’s what I’m trying to do the files I want to add to the library are on the drive which I can’t see on Jellyfin

So when you go to create the library in jellyfin you don't see the external drive but see your other drives as options?

I only see the internal storage

Does the user running the jellyfin service have permissions to read the folder/files? You aren't running jellyfin in docker by chance, right?

Tried the docker method earlier and had no luck I downloaded and am running it straight off the terminal

@Pacrat173 can you define “no luck”?

Your problem may not be related to docker or the way you run Jellyfin

When trying to run the docker I got an error. I can access the server both on my PC and phone after I switched the terminal something i hadn’t been able to do with any other method
