symbolic link is not detected on NAS

[Anonymous]

i’ve installed firefly on a “WD MY Book”
firefly is running and the files which are in the directory /music and all files which are below this directory are detected by firefly.

my Problem:
all files on the mybook are in /shares/internal/Music

i did a symb. link
ln -s /shares/internal/MUSIK /music/iTunes

if i do a ls /music/iTunes all mp3 files are displayes but firefly do not detect the files which are in this symbolic link
( i tried to add the dir in the mt-daapd.conf – but no change)

does anybody have the same problem or can help me?

Does the user that firefly is running as have permissions to the directory ?

I think it will also need permission to the whole directory tree the files are stored as well.

yes …the user has the permission and if do a ls /music/itunes (with ssh) all files and directories are shown

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Nov 8 10:56 iTunes -> /shares/internal/MUSIK/Musik
-rwxr–r– 1 root root 3448832 Nov 8 11:23 nolimit.mp3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 9 19:09 test
-rwxr–r– 1 root root 6455296 Nov 8 10:10 track02.mp3

nolimit.mp3, track02.mp3 and all mp3’s in the directory test are shown by firefly
all mp3’s (mp2’s) which are below the iTunes are not shown in firefly

edit: mp2’s was misstyped ..should be mp3’s

Looks like it won’t follow the symbolic link 🙁

If you go to the configuration page http://server:3689/config.html you can add another music folder in the Music Files section.

Try adding /shares/internal/Music as an additional folder.

i tried this already (mp3_dir = /shares/internal/MUSIK/Musik ok i did this in mt-daapd.conf because the firefly build svn-1586 has a bug throug the webinterface) but the files are not detected by firefly.

Did you mean mp2 ?, if so have you added mp2 to your extensions ?

sorry misstyped …should be mp3’s

here you see what i’ve tried

mt-daapd.conf:
/snip
mp3_dir = /music
#mp3_dir = /shares/internal/MUSIK/Musik
#mp3_dir = /music/iTunes/Singles
#mp3_dir = /shares/internal/MUSIK/Musik/Singles
/snip

Have you tried setting the log level to 9 and scanning the folder that won’t work ?

There may be some clues in the log file ?

i am new to firefly – how to set the debug level to 9 ?

[sonichouse]

In your mt-daapd.cong set debuglevel = 9
or change the debug level in the web configuration advanced screen
