Can't load library files in Ubuntu 20.10: Path is not recognized.

This is a repeat of a question i had earlier and was answered in a phone conversation so there is no thread to refer to. I need to change permissions of my files and folders so Emby will recognize the media. When I do a ls -l this is what i get:

michael@michael-desktop:/media/michael/Media Music$ ls -l
total 224
drwxr-xr-x   2 michael michael 32768 Jan  5 12:43 '$RECYCLE.BIN'
drwxr-xr-x   2 michael michael 32768 Jan 10 05:05 'Download Movies'
drwxr-xr-x  79 michael michael 32768 Jan 10 05:05  Films
drwxr-xr-x 286 michael michael 65536 Jan 11 14:10  Music
drwxr-xr-x  32 michael michael 32768 Jan  1 19:17 'Ripped Video'
drwxr-xr-x   2 michael michael 32768 Jan  2 13:06 'System Volume Information'
michael@michael-desktop:/media/michael/Media Music$ cd ..
michael@michael-desktop:/media/michael$ ls -l
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 9 michael michael 32768 Dec 31  1969 'Media Music'
michael@michael-desktop:/media/michael$ cd ..
michael@michael-desktop:/media$ ls -l
total 4
drwxr-x---+ 3 root root 4096 Jan 11 10:05 michael
michael@michael-desktop:/media$ 

 

I think that I need to change the permissions for '/Media Music' to "root root" and also the Permissions for '/michael' to "root" also. as far as I can tell. If I understand what is going on, the directory '/media' is OK because it is "root root".

I have to do this again because I had to reinstall Ubuntu and the Permissions changed. Its a real bummer. Thanks in advance for your help.

Replied to in your PM, but in short run this command in a terminal:   usermod -a -G michael emby

Thanks for the quick response Mark but that didn't work...I don't think it worked. here's the results:

Sorry got the screen shots upside down but you get the picture.

Okay, we can either try team viewer again, or you can call me and we'll get it sorted out for you again.
