Firefly on WDMBWE, unable to find files

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have limited knowledge of firefly and Linux so I apologise if there is simple answer to this that I can’t see.

I wanted to use firefly with fireplay on my WDMBWE so I have installed gcc and firefly using the instructions in the wiki (http://mybookworld.wikidot.com).
(the optware mt-daapd doesn’t support FirePlay)

It seems to have installed OK. I can access the webadmin page but when I set it to scan for files none are found.

I have followed the softlink instructions and edited the .conf file to look in /music but didn’t find any files.
I have tried adding /shares/internal/MUSIC to the .conf throught the webadmin but no joy.

The permissions on /music are set at 777 and on the softlink
The permission on /shares/internal/MUSIC were set at 700 but I have chaged this to 744 (and on all subfolders and files)

The only difference in the installation from the instructions was to use sqlite-3.5.9.tar.gz (the latest) rather than 3.4.1 since the link provided is dead. I’m not sure if this is causing the problems

I have looked at the mt-daapd.log which shows

runas = root was the problem

Alan

[EVILRipper]

Errr, I would strongly advise to leave it to run as nobody.
But then you already found the problem, only root can read the music files, or only root can write in the dir where the database is created.
Try chmodding/chowning the music and database dir and try again as not root.

Thanks for the advice,
I have set the permissions on the music folders and on the song3.db to 766 or higher but it still refuses to find any songs when not runas=root.

Is there something else I need to change?
