Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Scanning tracks is giving problems; not a new problem, but is there a solution????
One more thing to note. In addition to setting the permissions so that your music and album art files can be read by all users, you need to make sure that you give all users permission to read _and_\"execute\"_ the folders in your music library. In the case of folders, "execute" means that users can read the contents of the folder. Basically, you want to make sure that all the folders in your music library are mode 755, and all the files are 644. aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98248 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

SSH ( to use the commands DjAngo suggested ) to the NAS . Suitable windows terminal client is usually putty , if your PC is running OSX or Linux just start a terminal . you can also use "ls -la" to list the problem files and see their current permissions if they are OK this is not the problem . If you are completely new to Linux I recommend google there are tons of helpfully info out there for reference on how to use commandline tools . Many commands take -R as option which means "recursive" so you can run a suitable command for changing file permissions from the top of the directory and the commands goes down the file structure and effect all files below where you issued the command.

Thanks anyway. I hope that other users > may have an idea. hatschi, this is the wrong place... File and sharing permissions have less to do with the rights on a file itself. when lms is on the same system as the files and lms path to the file isnt starting with \\server\share then the sharerights have nothing to do at all ;-) There are rights for the smb (or whatever) share and there are file permissions on the Filesystem. Be shure to give lms the rights for the filesystem not for the share. * chgrp * chmod * ls-l are the tools you should use DJanGo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1516 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98248 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Thanks anyway. I hope that other users > may have an idea. Whether that works or not depends on your group definitions. It sounds as if the user that LMS runs under isn't in the group that owns the files. You should make them readable by everyone (that is, world-readable), just as Mnyb said. User and group readable is not sufficient in your setup. aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98248 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Having a problem using external hard drive/ mysqueezebox.com
Sq will be the same . And besides having to little memory Touch have problems with bus powered drives or rather the USB power output is not as overspeced as many computers , it still puts out more mA than the standard requires , but many disc manufacturers cheats with bus powered drives and they really pull more power than they should . A powered hub or a drive with its own power supply is prefered . Also sometimes deleting the database and directory the Touch placed on the drive and let it begin from scratch can help . It's a hidden folder named .squeezebox I think . As many treads on this forum tells a not to big library well organised files and folders ( one folder per album album folders organised in artist folders ) and the file tags should be in very good shape , is most likely to work . And also kep in mind the the file format support is less because Touch can not transcode, so keep to flac or mp3 .

Thank you. Im being to think im better of just streaming from my mac is a better option. I tried resetting the touch last night and it seemed to work fine for a couple of hours. However i left it running overnight and saw a error message that the sever has stoped due to a problem. gellie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98234 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Unless there's some sort of conversion or bit rate limiting going on then absolutely not. There's also an argument that with the touch being woefully under powered that running the server on the touch is bad for Sq but I don't believe that myself.
