How do you change the folders in JellyFin?
Posted by LocoTaskMaster
I have my media folders for my music, video, and books on my RAID5 volume, but when installing the Media Center, everything is point to my puny SSD volume. How do I change the TomSparkBox to see my media shares, and change the volumes that JellyFin can access for my media? Thanks for any pointers on how to adding my NAS Folders in TomSparkBox Apps.

You can point Jellyfin at your RAID5 volume by setting MEDIAROOT. Go to your dashboard Settings Server Config Advanced (show raw configuration), then find the line with MEDIAROOT=/data and change it to MEDIAROOT=/path/to/your/raid5/mount. Replace the path with wherever your RAID5 is mounted on your system. Save, then restart the media apps from the Apps page. Jellyfin will now see all your existing media on that volume.

Tried this, but it doesn't change the configuration for the sb-jellyfin-media docker container volume with the new /data NAS directoryfile, it still points to the original path. And because there isn't a docker project for the sb-jellyfin-media container, there doesn't seem to be a way to edit a project's compose configuration to fix the volumes. Thoughts/suggestions? Thanks!

Good catch — that's the missing step! After changing MEDIAROOT in Settings Server Config, you need to restart the media module to apply it to the docker volumes: sparkbox restart media. Once that completes, the sb-jellyfin-media container will use your new RAID5 path (check docker inspect sb-jellyfin-media | grep -A 10 Mounts to verify). Let me know if it still points to the old path after the restart.
