I assume you are running as a service, Mopidy as a service runs under the mopidy user. Permissions of parent directories also matter: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/13858/do-the-parent-directorys-permissions-matter-when-accessing-a-subdirectory

[Morta]

I did

sudo chown -R mopidy:audio /home/morta/Downloads/Music
sudo chmod -R ug+rw /home/morta/Downloads/Music
sudo find /home/morta/Downloads/Music -type d -exec sudo chmod ug+x {} \;
sudo gpasswd -a mopidy audio # add user mopidy to group audio
so should be correct?

Didn`t find any file but also no errors ?!

[kingosticks]

The precise rule is: you can traverse a directory if and only if you have execute permission on it.

Did your command address that?

[Morta]

+x stands for execute so all subfloders are executable, isn’t it?
Sorry i’m not very good with rights and permisson but i can’t get it running

No sound with spotify but MPD seems run properly, too.

Sound is now working with Spotify and pulseaudio configuration but still no local files…

[Morta]

@Morta

sudo chown -R mopidy:audio /home/morta/Downloads/Music
sudo chmod -R ug+rw /home/morta/Downloads/Music
sudo find /home/morta/Downloads/Music -type d -exec sudo chmod ug+x {} \;

I did
sudo chown -R mopidy:audio /home/morta/Downloads/Music
sudo chmod -R ugo+rwx /home/morta/Downloads/Music
sudo find /home/morta/Downloads/Music -type d -exec sudo chmod ugo+rwx {} \;
sudo find /home/morta/Downloads/Music -type f -exec sudo chmod ugo+rwx {} \;

And it’s still not finding files with local!!!
How it is possible more rights are not possible?!

Plz help

Thanks Guys!!!

[sapristi]

I think maybe you also need to give +x rights to the paths of folders containing your music, i.e.

• /home/
• /home/morta
• /home/morta/Downloads

[Morta]

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!

[Morta]

Thanks to all which help me !

But why is all empty under My Music (Artist,Album etc.) ?

Had to do Refresh on every category and choose local… so it’s work perfectly after hard work!

I did a little bounty to James… Have a happy end of the year and also happy new year!
