Symlinks not working when browsing files

I seem to not be able to browse my symlinked USB drive despite having “follow_symlinks” enabled. I have the file and local modules configured in the following way:

any news on that? I’m trying the latest mopidy to scan my mounted musik files, however there are not seen at all.

Same issue here, I’ve posted similar thread long time ago and got no response.

Same issue with a USB drive (2.1.0 Debian Testing).

“file” does not show any files when symlink enabled, but “local” has no problem scanning them.

I can also list all my files in the folder that has the symlinks with “find -L FOLDERWITHSYMLINKS”
