Jellyfin Directory Path

[umbrelq23]

If I add media files to a directory called downloads created in Nextcloud, what is the full path to enter as a Library in Jellyfin to access those files?

If I add media files to a directory called downloads created in File Browser, what is the full path to enter as a Library in Jellyfin to access those files?

If I add media files to a directory in some other way, what is the full path to enter as a Library in Jellyfin to access those files?

I too can’t find any documentation on this and would like to know.

I had a similar issue with Jellyfin on Umbrel installed on Ubuntu. I was able to resolve this by editing the Jellyfin docker-compose.yml file to add the path of the media folder on ubuntu

in my case this looked like below with the last entry being the new one. I then used the restart script and was able to find the path now in the folder add dialogue under /media/Downloads

volumes:

• ${APP_DATA_DIR}/data/config:/config
• ${UMBREL_ROOT}/data/storage/downloads:/downloads
• /home/UBUNTUUSER/Downloads:/media/Downloads

Hope this helps!

Where can we find a Jellyfin tutorial

• Library path?
• How to be discoverable on home network?
  Thanks!

Allright - here are the solutions:

• Library path /downloads links to downloads folder of “file browser”, as can be seen in the docker-compose.yml file
• Downloads folder in file browser seems not writable - need to CHMOD
• The most painful thing - making Jellyfin discoverable as DLNA server - failed to make that happen so far, if anyone knows how to do this, please let us know…

This had a problem that when update, will loose this change. See this comments for more details

My answer was the following in Umbrel. In the Apps Folder in Umbrel, once you load up Jellyfin, there is a “docker-compose.yml” file, and in that file is “volumes.” What I did was attach the paths. Again, it’s a simple environment, but these were the paths that worked.

Works like a charm! Thanks!

Would this method not get reverted after the app receives an update?
