Web clients cannot find any local media

General
1

I’m running mopidy as a service. Web clients see no local media. Here’s my info. When I run the “scan for media” command, I get some permission error. I tried changing the json library ownernship to mopidy, but no luck.

Revert your change of the local/data_dir config. You shouldn’t need to change it, at least not when running as a service as the defaults from the Debian package should be good enough and point to a directory where the mopidy user has write access, as opposed to /home/pi/mopidy/local.
