Fuck Subscriptions

Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.

Expect use of strong language.

Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.

No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.

Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.

New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It's so you can think about what it's like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can't use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn't read this fine print? You should read what you're agreeing to.

Can someone show me a simple way to share an external drive to Jellyfin in Ubuntu? It’s the last part I’m missing from my setup

[–] SquiffSquiff@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What do you mean by external drive in this case? USB? NAS? What have you tried already?

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

Thank you! I’m at work now but will look in to this later :)
