Squeezecenter setup - won't show any directory in /home

[bulek]

Hi,

I have music in /home/username/Music. Can read/write there from samba network share. But cannot convince Squeezebox to scan and have library in that directory... It won't show subdirectory username in /home directory so I cannot select it...

Any solution ?

Thanks in advance,
regards,
Bulek.

Appears to be a software issue, so recommend you check their website or forums.

Hi,

after checkup it seems like permission problem. What user/group are apps running under on Amahi ?

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

If you installed Squeezeboxserver with the 'one-click' Amahi install, it runs as user squeezeboxserver with group squeezeboxserver. So it probably has no access rights to your choosen directory at all. You could either:

- change the access right of the '/home/username/Music' to 777 (as root: chmod -R 777 /home/username/Music) . So it's open to everyone, or

- Add user 'squeezeboxserver' to the group that has access rights to that directory, probably group 'users' (as root: usermod -a -G users squeezeboxserver)

HTH,

Richard
