Bug report: Madsonic 4.8b1 Access permissions

[gurutech]

Just wanted to pass this along, to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue, and if it can be addressed/resolved in a future release...

I initially had Madsonic 3220 set up with a single media folder, and when I tried to scan media folders, it would scan, but I couldn't see anything. With MadEvil's help, we (he) figured out that I needed to "reset" the access permissions. I did that, and all was good.

Fast forward to today, I added two additional media folders, but couldn't see the contents, even after a rescan.

I checked the access permissions, and saw columns with each of the new folders (as well as the initial one), but there were only check-boxes under the initial folder, not the two new ones. I reset the access permissions again, and the checkboxes are now appearing under all of the columns.

I'm not sure exactly what's involved in a "reset", but my assumption is that any permissions I had previously set for certain groups would now default to the same as the "ALL" group having access to all folders. In other words, after resetting, I would then have to manually check or uncheck boxes again.

i made this easier if you add or delete MediaFolders. Comes with 4.8 Beta 2

Yeah, I thought it was related to a problem on my server, but I seem to be having the same issue. I added a folder and it won't show in Madsonic but the same folder shows up fine in Subsonic. I hadn't gotten around to really digging into the issue before, but after seeing the posts above i looked at the Access page and see that there are NO boxes under the folder name on the access page, so I can't set or reset any of the permission settings.

Going to "Cleanup" enabled and set the check boxes. Rescanning now and the folder is showing.

Thanks to all above for leading me to the workaround.
