i have 2 servers both running on truenas, 1 is my main server that hosts my media library along with my install of jellyfin. the other is my test server, where i test all updates to the app AND truenas to make sure things work and run smoothly prior to updating my main server. i run my setup like this as previously i haven’t and it led to more than 1 full rebuild that just required a clean slate.
this leads me to where i am now: a test server that no longer wants to function correctly and a main server that i’ have a few updates that need to be ran but i won’t push them till i can address my test server to verify things don’t break. currently the test server has 2 major issues that i cannot rectify at all.
First, jellyfin will not acknowledge the media folder i created or look at anything thats in it at all. i have that folder set up so that apps are the owner in both user an group, i have given the apps user VARIOUS permissions to test and see if it will fix it and get nowhere at all. its as if theres nothing in the folder but i know that there is.
Second: i cannot get the metube app to launch at all if i change its download path to be in the media folder i created for it. it gets stuck in a loop of “deploy” and then “stop” and won’t budge from that loop. if i use the default path that it has then its no issue at all, it will launch and function perfectly, however i have no idea where its saving the media too and i have no way to even access it as it isn’t on the drive setup with the SMB share to my workstation.
if i could get some help here in addressing this and fixing the issues i would really appreciate it
