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.

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

Jobs was a salesman, Woz the engineering brain.

Jobs was just as sociopathic as Musk. You have to be to lead any corporation that relies on profit and is public. People that worked closely with Jobs often said he was an arehle and didn't care about people's feelings.

Obviously not an authorized bio. lOL

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.

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.

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. 😺

I guess nothing for those that like it — I'm old school and prefer to install apps on bare metal.

Hopefully it doesn't require Docker?
