Hi again, Running 10.11.5 on Debian Trixie kernel 6.12.57 and I can’t get Jellyfin to see my connected drive. Here’s the permissions for my drive:
velummortis@velummortis-20bts1rt02:~$ ls -l /media/velummortis/d64ea996-98aa-4eef-8a93-0a2ba2246f0f

video is the name of the group my username and jellyfin share drive access on. I have the group on 7 yet it won’t see my drive. Is there something I missed?
Are the files within the folders the media folder also with permissions 775 (rwxrwxr-x)? The actual .mkv .mp4 or whatever files themselves should be the same permissions as the parent folder(s). Could be worth doing a chmod -R 0775 d64ea996-98aa-4eef-8a93-0a2ba2246f0f if you’re not sure.
You probably already tried this but just in case: In the Jellyfin admin pages, in Libraries, try removing that media library, then re-add the media library and when adding Folders paste in your entire media folder path/name: /media/velummortis/d64ea996-98aa-4eef-8a93-0a2ba2246f0f
The reason I mention that is that I did a quick test here with a bad permissioned folder, added the media folder, Jellyfin couldn’t see anything in it obviously. But even after I fixed the folder permissions Jellyfin still wasn’t seeing the media - I had to remove the library entirely and then re-add it to force Jellyfin to attempt to scan the folder with new 775 world permissions.
I haven’t been able to add the library in question yet, but I did do the recursive chmod.
Example of a filelist:
velummortis@velummortis-20bts1rt02:~$ ls -l /media/velummortis/d64ea996-98aa-4eef-8a93-0a2ba2246f0f/1-100 total 94369612 -rwxrwxr-x 1 velummortis video 976718800 Aug 7 2020 Jang.Hee.Bin.E001.mp4 -rwxrwxr-x 1 velummortis video 926402249 Aug 7 2020 Jang.Hee.Bin.E002.mp4 -rwxrwxr-x 1 velummortis video 970775362 Aug 7 2020 Jang.Hee.Bin.E003.mp4 -rwxrwxr-x 1 velummortis video 963500405 Aug 7 2020 Jang.Hee.Bin.E004.mp4 -rwxrwxr-x 1 velummortis video 975813578 Aug 7 2020 Jang.Hee.Bin.E005.mp4Feels like this should have already been resolved with standard Linux permissions, any user on your system should be able to read/traverse that folder and files with the r-x permission on world.
From your earlier comment one of the parent directories is listing with “+” permission so it sounds like you are using extra permissions outside of the standard Linux, probably ACL permissions. I haven’t worked with ACL permissions on Linux enough to offer much advice but what you may want to do is run something like getfacl d64ea996-98aa-4eef-8a93-0a2ba2246f0f as well as run it on one of your media files, that might give you some clues on what the ACL permissions look like.
Also - I’m assuming you already did this - but if you didn’t already make sure your jellyfin service is actually launching with the expected user and user group. Based on your setup you may want to be sure the “jellyfin” Linux user is added to the “video” user group, and then make sure that’s what is being referenced in jellyfin.service.conf (by default is usually in /etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service.d). If you edit that file be sure to stop the jellyfin service first and then restart it after editing e.g. “systemctl stop jellyfin” and “systemctl start jellyfin”.
Only other thing I can think of is that maybe there’s something wrong with the way your system is mounting the drive and folder. Since you seem to be using the autogenerated UUID for the mounted folder name (d64ea996-98aa-4eef-8a93-0a2ba2246f0f) maybe it’s better to edit fstab yourself and set up your mount as something more permanent with a normal name, and also double-check the permissions everything is mounting as.
