😉 You folks have a funny accent, you should take New Scotland, New Brunswick, NFLD and Labrador because they talk funny too. (jkg of course)

This is what my issue was to — unfortunately, I didn't see this post before removing Jellyfin server. Couldn't find this in the official help docs - so someone might want to add this to the help and quick-start guides.

I'm an experienced user, I know what I'm doing. I've been using GNU/Linux since '96.

No, I tried everyway with complete paths, I used that as one example. The software is a POS.

I've set the paths properly and explicit. This is on Debian Stable. Uninstalled, not going to waste anymore time on this.

Oh, that's interesting.

Yeah tried that. It doesn't even recognize standard paths like ~/user directory

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.

Hey even us 'soft' Torontonians had windchill at that temp several times this season. And snow, helluva lot this year too, almost like Buffalo. 😂

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.

That would be cool, especially California, then we'd have somewhere warm to visit. LOL

In terms of the metric system, just tell Americans that they're still using the occupier's system (British redcoats). 😉
