Local music permissions issues

[mkono87]

Hi all,

Im running mopidy on a pi3 and have an external drive that is automatically mounted at /media/pi/Mediadrive/music. I am running mopidy as a service and did read that it runs at user mopidy and needs permissions. Problem is i just cant seem to get it to work. I even gave all access to the drive(777) and changed the user from mopidy to root in the service settings. But, when I mopidyctl local scan it still runs as mopidy. Anyone have an idea what Im doing wrong?

Hi, have you been able to resolve this? I am having the same problem.

this:

Mopidy-Local can't access folder

So what i did: Move the MUSIC Folder to /home/MUSIC chmod +x /home as root chown -R mopidy:audio /home/MUSIC chmod -R ug+rwx /home/MUSIC find /home/MUSIC -type d -exec chmod ug+x {} ; sudo mopidyctl local scan So i did the work after lot of screaming and debugging of log files and studding tutorials!

solved it for me.
Good luck!

Hi Florian, pls:

pi@raspberrypi:/mnt $ find /home/MUSIC -type d -exec chmod ug+x {} ;
find: missing argument to `-exec’

[FlorianReiterer]

find /home/MUSIC -type d -exec sudo chmod ugo+rwx {} \;
