Hey all, trying to run mopidy as a system service with my data dir in my personal home directory, but mopidy doesnt seem to read aything from that directory, even if it should have permissions running sudo mopidyctl local scan results in  
INFO Found 0 files in media\_dir.  
WARNING Encountered 1 errors while scanning media\_dir.

but my music dir I have even set recursively as 777 to try to fix this
