RE: Frustrated with both Volumio and pCorePlay/LMS on Raspberry

Hi.

If LMS fails scanning a data directory, you've probably got one of these
issues ( assuming your system has all NFS and or Samba/Cifs related software and drivers up'n running and your NAS/file server can export the data ).

1. There is no data ;)
2. There is no share mounted, thus no data
3. There's a timing issue
4. You mounted the share with wrong permissions

So now. I'd assume 4. is the most probable cause.

1. On LMS based systems I'd suggest to disable the automatic rescan plugin as a first measure. That plugin might wipe your database at odd data-folder circumstances (e.g. if a net-mount fails once in while) .

2. If either NFS or Samba/Cifs shares are mounted, you need to make sure you have got the proper permissions applied on the mounts!!!
Otherwise LMS can not access them!
You'd preferably look for rwxrwxrwx (777) permissions on folders and rw-rw-rw (666) on files. And you need to have the correct lms user-id applied to the directories and files.

You basically need to tell NFS/Samba what permissions to apply while mounting the share!
And you do that by adding related NFS/Samba mount-options to the "options" field.


I hope I point you into the right direction with this.

Good luck.
