Hello everyone, I set up the jellyfin server on pop_OS and it’s functioning properly. However, I’m having trouble adding my movie library because when I provide the path "home/myusername," it doesn’t recognize any of my folders such as downloads, videos, or music. Could someone assist me with this issue? Thank you in advance!

Created a directory called "movies" in the downloads folder and added it to the server.

The installation process wasn't specified, and access permissions for media folders weren't detailed.

You can verify permissions by checking the file or directory properties in your system explorer or terminal. Look for attributes like "Read," "Write," and "Execute" to see if they are set appropriately. If unsure, run a command such as `ls -l` or `chmod` to inspect access rights.

I've shared the solution I used: updated permissions with sudo chmod -R 755 and also modified the movies folder in your user directory. I found this information on a relevant page.
