Need help assigning permissions for an app - Solved, doing a re-install

[bushyiii]

I installed jellyfin media server, no errors. Jellyfin needs to be able to use the media file folders and contents. Application directions state "For Linux you must grant the service user at least read access to your storage locations".
Googling how to do this hasn't helped. The attached drive with the media files is '/media/guy/7Tb'
I tried using ACl but that didn't work. Here's the output of getfacl: file: media/guy/7Tb
# owner: guy
# group: 1001
user::rwx
user:jellyfin:r-x
group::r-x
mask::r-x
other::r-x
At present jellyfin can see /media/guy but not see media/guy/7Tb

Something is funky with my system, I am now locked out. I am going to re-install LM21.1 and start clean. Hopefully I won't need to ask these same questions afterwards. I will delete this post.

Once you've done that look into mounting the library in a more generally accessible location; /media/<you> is really intended for you and more or less for removable storage alone. I.e., you want to permanently mount the library to for example /mnt/7Tb; for read-access by "jellyfin" that'll be all there's to it.
