    Can someone show me a simple way to share an external drive to Jellyfin in Ubuntu? It’s the last part I’m missing from my setup

      What do you mean by external drive in this case? USB? NAS? What have you tried already?

        USB formatted to FAT32

        The file path will not work in Jellyfin.

        I’ve tried using the terminal to set a mount point that Jellyfin can use. Apparently the problem is that Jellyfin runs as its own user and so can’t see USB drives that my account connects.

        …or something…? I’ve been trying off-and-on for months. I’m only a dabbler in Linux; getting this set up with an old laptop is my attempt to learn.

        I’m so confused please help.
