Adding Samba shares.

Posted by popuman

Hi. I have Samba shares in two locations in my local network and I would like to add them so Jellyfin can access them, How can I accomplish that?

Jellyfin can use those shares only if the machine running SparkBox makes them available to Jellyfin; the exact setup depends on where SparkBox is installed. What is it running on (a Linux server, NAS, or Windows/WSL), and can that machine already browse both shares?

Sorry. I should’ve specified. Sparkbox is installed on a PC running Ubuntu Server 26.04 LTS.

Thanks, that narrows it down. First check on the Ubuntu Server itself: can it access both Samba shares, and if so, what folder path does each share appear at? Jellyfin needs the shares available to the server/container, not just visible from another computer. Please share only the folder paths and whether each is accessible—no usernames or passwords.
