Manage library folders
Choose folders below the media mount in setup or Settings. Use relative folder names, such as Movies and Shows, rather than host paths. . selects the whole mount. Deployment-managed lists are read-only until changed at their source.
Grant the container account only the filesystem access it needs. Subtitles writes next to videos, so read-only mounts are unsuitable. Inspect host/NAS permissions and container file sharing if a scan works but a fetch cannot save.
Scan after folder changes. Removing a folder from the app’s scope is different from deleting its files; make any filesystem cleanup separately and deliberately. Keep backups of original sidecars and media.
