I understand that you are getting confused, because so am I
First I tried adding /mnt/Filedrive/TV to import existing folders. That did not work. Gave the error in first post.
Then I made a symlink and added /home/simon/Filedrive/TV instead which did work.
Today, I tried adding a new series, Newsroom. At this point I don’t have any path to select, I can only choose between “Select Path” and “Add different path” in the dropdown. From my understanding and what I remember from running on Windows, I should already have a path to select here, right? From importing previous series? I don’t however.
I then selected “Add different path” and tried adding /home/simon/Filedrive/TV, but that did not work, I get the following error:

Then I try to do it again, but this time I choose /home/simon/Filedrive/muppettest as the folder, and now it all works just fine.
Worth noting is that as soon as I press the “add series” button, I get the following error:

But everything still seems to work
I hope this makes any kind of sense to you
