How to use with "Direct Path" option (smb/nfs):

• setup your Jellyfin server library's with network paths or path substitution via Shared network folder: option
  • Formats
    • smb://smb_user:smb_password@server_ip/share/folder
    • smb://smb_user@server_ip/share/folder
    • nfs://server_ip/nfs_export/:
    • nfs://server_ip/nfs_export/:/tv
      • nfs needs the /: special marker right after the actual nfs export name/path portion!
  • Examples:
    • smb://andy:[email protected]/htpc-share/series
    • smb://[email protected]/htpc-share/series
    • nfs://192.168.1.101/mnt/media/movies/: -> with nfs export /mnt/media/movies
    • nfs://192.168.1.101/mnt/media/:/movies -> with nfs export /mnt/media
• enable the Direct Path option in the JellyfinTv client

NOTE: starting with firmware 6.(4/7).30+ you dont need the special /: NFS root-marker anymore!
