Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!
Kushan@lemmy.world 1 week agoI don’t think you should be getting downvotes for having an opinion and I appreciate your reply.
However I do love a good debate - what’s the advantages for you for installing apps on “bare metal” (I’m assuming you mean a base OS install rather than actual bare metal). What about virtualisation?

I’m retired, so I do what I’m familiar with. You know the saying ‘can’t teach an old dawg new tricks?’, well, that’s me. LOL Learning systemd was rough on my grey matter, but I survived it. 😺

OK I’ve installed Jellyfin server. However when setting up my media directories via the web front end, Jellyfin keeps telling me they’re not valid paths. Don’t know why that would be as they’re directly on the server and valid. Checked permissions too, and restarted the server. Any ideas? I haven’t rebooted the server, that’s shouldn’t be required.

Hmm sorry not sure why it would be complaining about an invalid path. Is it all paths that are invalid, or just the ones to your media?

I have my media files in specific folders on a RAID5. It won’t take that as a valid path, nor even anything in the ~/ directory. If I use the server root, it will. I don’t like that - seems like a poor system design. No way I want it to scan my root directory. Christ it will take forever to scan my entire RAID of 200Tb.
