Music is not added

[sashpta]

Heyo,
I just installed Subsonic on my RaspberryPi3 using the following guide http://lifehacker.com/how-to-turn-a-ras ... 1583221462

Unfortunately I am not able to add music. When I do 'scan now' it scans 100+ files but nothing is added to my library :/


Does someone maybe have an idea on how to fix this?

Thx in advance.

Check if your user has the permission to view the folder.

Enter subsonic with the "admin" account. Go to "Settings -> Users" then select your user and check the boxes bellow "Allow access to these media folders"

Cheers

Thx for the reply.
The user has permissions. Furthermore neither the admin nor the user can see the music.

and here are the users settings: https://gyazo.com/29d29b79407c1e3c304ed4d5ca54b3ab

Ok, check if "subsonic" have permission (SUBSONIC_USER=[new username]) to access the hard drive.

You have two possibilities

1. Set SUBSONIC_USER=pi (but it is no recomended)
2. Use the terminal and give [new username] permission to read/write the hard drive or pass the ownership of the hard drive to [new username] . You can google plenty of way any of this.

NOTE: you can install java with

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-jdk

Ye I guess it was a premissions problem.
I now did it all again but now I used scp to send the music files to the home directory of the user 'subsonic'.
Linking his homefolder works.
Unfortunately I cannot make it work to use the music on the external drive.

I now changed the permissions so that they are exactly the same (actually everyone can do everything) but it just won't work
Here the cli output of the home directory where all works

UPDATE:
I could make it work by moving `subsonic`'s home directory to `/data/music`
Probably not the best solution but it works for now.
However I'd appreciate another solution if there is any
