Subsonic Cannot See Music on Networked Drive
Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2016 7:50 pmProblem Description:
Subsonic Cannot See Music on Networked Drive
Troubleshooting Steps:
My guess is this is to do with the user permissions on my network drive. It is a USB drive being managed using samba through my router. The drive works fine, and is being used by my SONOS. I am trying to use a raspberry pi to run subsonic. After many many attempts I have got to the stage that I can definitely mount the drive to the pi, and can definitely see all the music, logged in as the pi user. On one occasion early on, subsonic even saw the music (woop), but it no longer can.
I have tried mounting the drive variously with no uid/gid parameters, or with the pi parameters, or specifically with root parameters (I think - I am making this up as I go along), but whatever I try, I can't persuade subsonic to see the mounted files.
It could be irrelevant, but there is an entry in /etc/passwd for subsonic which has 1001:1001:mylinuxusername. I think I got prompted to set up a linux account when i set up subsonic originally, and I know what that password is, but I haven't knowingly got that anywhere else in relation to the subsonic set up.
Any help gratefully received.
