I have TrueNAS scale virtualized in Proxmox. I created a smb share that I can access on my windows 10 computer by entering the ip address of my TrueNAS and the following folder:

\\10.XX.XX.XXX\prox-share

I can add files to this share on TrueNAS from my Windows 10 machine. So, I know the share is working. On the share, I have created the folder MEDIA. Inside MEDIA, I placed the folders named movies and shows.

When I go into Jellyfin and click on add media library, I select content type: movies.

Then enter the display name of “Movies”.

Then I go to folders and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get this to work. At the bottom where it says “Shared network folder:” I enter 10.XX.XX.XXX/prox-share. Then for folder, if I put “/media/movies”, I get the message "The path could not be found. Please ensure the path is valid and try again ". When I just enter /media (instead of /media/movies) in the folder name, it will accept that, but none of my movies are showing up in my media.

Any idea on what I am doing wrong? Thanks!
