Yeah I reread the part where you said you installed Linux lol. On top of checking permissions also check user ownership of the media. I believe a normal jellyfin install uses your user rather than it’s own system user
Comment on Jellyfin External Drive
MostRegularPeople@lemmy.world 3 hours agoLinux. Jellyfin was installed via package manager. I’m to dumb for docker. Yes, the drive is mounted.

Check permissions of the external drive, and set owner to jellyfin group. Give rw permissions to that group/drive.

Read permissions should be enough, I’ve got mine in a freebsd jail with the media dataset mounted into it read only.
I’d do red/write and enable nfo files alongside the media files.
Then I’d use an admin account for admin stuff and a regular user without any edit permissions.
