    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.

      You need to:

      • create the mountpoint
      • mount the drive to the mountpoint
      • Give Jellyfin permissions to access the files there

      Since you are using FAT32 which does not support file level permissions I guess this will show up as ‘owned by root’. You will need to do something like this or this
