NTFS Drive does not show up browsing for media location-seen by OS

[theoldlr 0]

I had a windows MB server setup, but my SSD just crashed.  While i wait for a replacement, i thought i'd make a USB drive install of linux mint and run MB server from there.  Im a linux noob, but managed to get the server running fine except I cant add my media locations.  Im using the same platter data drive ("Storage") as on the windows machine.  Mint sees the drive fine without intervention from terminal and in the gui but when I try to add /media/mint/Storage/Movies (for example) to a media location it does not see anything inside of the \media\Mint directory.  Can someone point me in the right direction to make this work?

I tried this, but it says path does not exist

It has to do with the way that the automatic mounting is taken care of. Linux mounts the drive as readable and writable by the user who mounted it (you) and no one else (MediaBrowser). You will need to either temporarily add the drive to your fstab or write a udev rule to mount it so that MBS also has permission to access the drive.

Was this solved?

 

I was thinking ntfs-3g if you are local.
