stef.an, FWIW `su -s /bin/bash logitechms` does the same but without the add/removal of /bin/bash

If the server ist running as logitechms you could first try to get normal shell access to the folder. Give logitechms a bash (all as root, use the commands without the hash ;) # usermod -s /bin/bash logitechms test access # su logitechms # cd /home post a "ls -la" here # cd totof (what heppens? should give you access denied) remove the bash for security # usermod -s /bin/false logitechms

I had a problem like this - it was ignoring my library. I found that setting world read+execute privs recursively on the entire library fixed it. In particular, it needed the priv to read a directory, not just the files within the directory.

What user is the logitechmediaserver running as? If you're using the supplied systemd startup file the default is as 'logitechms' user and 'logitechms' group. Use that and all you probably need to do is add the logitechms user to your users group.

Hi guys, Sorry to come back with still the same issue. I have a laptop and an home server both with an up-to-date archlinux distribution. The logitechmediaserver package was installed in both computers. It appears fully functional on the laptop, but not in the home server. For this computer, the LMS server has never been able to access to media folders. The folders are not shown from the "browse" button. When I put the right folder manually and ask LMS to "rescan" the directory, here is what the scanner.log file tels to me : [14-09-22 14:44:30.5064] main::main (202) Starting Logitech Media Server scanner (v7.8.0, 1395409907, Thu Mar 27 13:31:59 PDT 2014) perl 5.020000 [14-09-22 14:44:31.0727] Slim::Music::Import::runImporter (488) Starting Slim::Media::MediaFolderScan scan [14-09-22 14:44:31.0735] Slim::Utils::Scanner::Local::rescan (174) Discovering audio files in /home/totof [14-09-22 14:44:31.0819] main::main (329) Error: Failed when running main scan: [/home/totof: Permission non accordée at /opt/logitechmediaserver/CPAN/File/Next.pm line 217. ] [14-09-22 14:44:31.0825] main::main (330) Error: Skipping post-process & Not updating lastRescanTime! "Permission non accordée" means that LMS cannot reach this folder because of a sort of permission granting issue but I'm really stuck here. My user "totof" is in the logitechms group, as with the laptop were everything works flawlessly. The folder I'm trying to reach belongs to the user "totof" with "users" as group. Any idea ?

Thanks stef.an, and thanks vesath! I'll do whatever I can to help (i686, x86_64), but I'm afraid that won't be much. There's a discussion going on on the LMS forum about the future of packaging LMS that you might want to follow if you're interested: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?102110-How-to-deal-with-LMS-Perl-binaries-mess-on-Linux

Okay, I've taken this package. Thanks vesath for your efforts! I'm currently using this package on my Zyxel NAS (NSA325, armv5tel using arch=arm). A backup instance is running on one of my Raspberrys (imho amv6h). Currently serving 6 Pi's for audio distribution. It's just working :) I'll do my very best but I can't check on other platforms so please bear with me :)

My squeezebox died so I'm orphaning this package. Best of luck to the next maintainer!
