Scan not finding new files

[Anonymous]

Running Ubuntu 8.4 with Firefly Media Server: Version svn-1696
Everything works great except when i add mp3s to my server, they dont get picked up by the scans. Not sure where to begin looking.

It picked up my entire library when i first set up the server. Since then it hasn’t added anything.

Yupyup, it’s the permissions again. 🙂

Only the user jackmurphy has permissions to read and write the mp3 files.
However, firefly should be run as ‘nobody’, not as jackmurphy.
Therefore, firefly has no rights to read and/or execute the mp3 files. Try chmodding them for ‘other’ users.
