Newby can't add any folders to library

Today I installed the Emby server on my Raspberry Pi.  When I try to add folders to my library, it will add /media and /media/pi but not /media/pi/Elements1 or, the directory with actual contents, /media/pi/Elements1/video .  When I enter those folders it says the path cannot be found.  What might I be doing wrong?

Thanks for any help to someone trying to figure out Emby and my Raspberry at the same t ime.

Thanks.  Yes, I saw that.  So I added the following to my fstab:

UUID= 4EFAF8FEFAF8E2DF /media/pi ntfs  auto,nofail,users,rw,uid=pi,gid=pi 0 0

As I understand, that should have added permissions to any user in the group pi. 

But when I run ls -l, is shows no permissions for the group:
drwx------ 1 pi pi    65536 May 19  2020 Video

My problem, I think, is that the user in emby (dsm) has no permission to use the video folder.  And that because it is an NTFS drive I cannot giver permission after the drive is mounted.

I just don't understand what to do.

Here is some additional information that may be relevant.  Before I added the line to my fstab file, the drive was somehow mounting automatically.  Might something else be automatically mounting it, so that when I try to mount it in the fstab it fails because it is already mounted?
