Yes, but it has to be set up in a specific way. Jellyfin can only see the folders inside your SparkBox media folder, so a drive that sits outside it will not appear by itself. The way to do it is to mount the NAS share inside that media folder on the box, for example as a folder called Movies2, and then add that folder in Jellyfin as a new library. Jellyfin reads it like any other library after that. One thing to get right if you make the mount start automatically: add the option nofail to its line, so the box still starts when the NAS is offline. To give you exact steps, tell me two things: what the box runs on (a NAS, Windows with WSL, or a Linux PC), and whether the NAS share is already mounted on it today.

Sparkbox is running on a Intel NUCi7 on Linux mint 22.3. It's media share is on a qnap folder share which is mounted and sparkbox sees it just fine. I have connected an external drive on the qnap and created a new drive share. The linux mint mounts the drive just find and I can see all of the media on that share using nemo. I would like to add this share to jellyfin, without affecting the media share assigned to sparkbox. Can't I add an include Directive into the yaml file for jellyfin, and create a secondary YAML file that includes my extra media paths/folders for jellyfin. This way I can modify the secondary yaml file so that it survives any updates. The primary yaml file would just need to read in the secondary yaml (if it exists). This way non of the other apps that depend on sparkbox media path are effected.
