Please accept my apologies. Most of the the things I have been advised
to do, are way past my knowledge level. I obviously complicated things
for everyone and myself, but I've learnt a lot

Apologies for misleading you Jim - when I said I had compared working to
non working files, that was within the QNAP NAS and not via WinSCP. I
won't make that mistake again!

Jim, you are an absolute STAR! Followed your advice and marked folder,
album and then  individual files as 'everyone'. Currently rescanning and
missing files are appearing and playable in LMS!
I have no idea why recently added files and albums wre not marked in
this way, but I know the answer now.

I would just like to thank you and everyone who contributed to solving
my problem.

Very much appreciated

Jim,

Don't weant to give up yet! I have taken on board your suggestion of a
Raspberry unit if all else fails. Also tried your USB suggestion with
some files. Although the folder on USB can be seen and selected by LMS a
scan does not make them availabe to see or play? When it comes to
allocating user access to the sub folders within the MUSIC folder on the
USB , my NAS does not allow sub folder permissions on external drives

I have uninstalled/reinstalled LMS from my NAS a few times since the
problem began without any joy. Admittedly the uninstalls took place
using 'Applications' built into the NAs and not Revo Uninstaller. Would
be prepared to try that route if someone can tell me how?

Hello again Jim,
My Logitech Server on my QNAP is Version: 8.3.1.


Lots of distractions today (vistors) but I finally got LMS on Windows to
scan my QNAP Music folder and ALL my albums are visible and playable!!

I think it's a step forward in some way? However to play the files, I
still obviously need to have Windows LMS available and to do that my PC
needs to be running.

Does that shed any light on my situation?

Unfortunately only one NAS I'm afraid - rebooted, rescanned several
times. At a complete loss despite everyones suggestions. Fairly
comprehensive library and all albums accessible and playable except
several new albums added over recent weeks. I'm loathe to rely Windows
10 version of LMS(which accesses and plays everything), as copying
folders from NAS to Windows PC has reduced my storage space dramatically
and means my PC has to run to listen to my music. From my perspective,
it almost makes my QNAP redundant and reduces it to a back up drive.


Something has obviously changed on the NAS, but I don't know what or
when, despite following everyone's suggestions. It's driving me to
distraction

I cannot see any of the folders in my my music since the problem began.
All the folders prior to the problem are there and accessible. The
missing folders/albums are visible and playable if I access my NAS
through Windows file explorer?

Several Errors found in scan log - e.g. [22-11-04 12:03:47.5875]
Slim::Formats::Playlists::CUE::parse (445) Error: Couldn't find
referenced FILE: [/share/Qmultimedia/MUSIC/Eric Clapton/Eric Clapton -
Money And Cigarettes - FLAC/Eric Clapton - Money And Cigarettes/10 -
Crazy Country Hop.wav] on disk! Skipping!

However, when selecting all errors such as above, all these files are
accessible and playable?

There are no logs that apply to the inaccessible folders and files. I'm
baffled!

Thanks for that!. LMS currently scanning, I'll keep my fingers crossed
that something shows up in the log after completion.

Thanks for your reply - I have compared settings, ownership etc between
album folders in WINscp as you suggested - Missing Files/Folders have
exactly thec 
same owner, group and access permission. However I note that you
mention '774'. My files state '0770 ?. Not understanding Winscp that
well, should I change the octal number?

I have tried several ways - Windows, WinSCP and Qnap File Station. All
show me as the owner. Something must have changed recently, but I know
not what!

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Missing Music

2022-11-04 Thread tonymac


Relatively inexperienced with digging into LMS  - I have a QNAP NAS,
which has been working very well for quite some time. Just recently I
have noticed when adding new Music Folders to my NAS, they are not
appearing in the LMS. Permissions for all my music folders are
identical, so I have ruled that problem out?

As an experiment, I installed LMS on my Windows 10 PC and discovered
that all the 'missing' folders are there and accessible.

I do not want to run my PC 24/7 to enable me to listen to music on my
Squeezebox, when my Qnap NAS is available in the background. Could
someone please offer an expalnation to why these  new folders are not
accessible on my NAS? To the best of my knowledge, nothing has changed
on my NAS, but I will appreciate anyone telling me what could possibly
be wrong.

Regards,

Tony
