Hi Paul, thanks for your quick response! All music is on a subfolder of the SMB share, the playlists are in a seperate folder under same subfolder.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] LMS on Debian server: file permissions
Probably the easiest to solve is the playlists issue. >From LMS web UI, check to see where you have configured playlists to be saved and then have a look to see if the location exists and, if it does, what the permissions are. ls -l will show you the permission. chown and chgrp to change them to match what LMS is running as (or cheat and make them r/w accessible to everyone) Paul Webster http://dabdig.blogspot.com Author Radio France (FIP etc) plugin Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111390 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
[SlimDevices: Unix] LMS on Debian server: file permissions
Hi guys, could use some help here. :o I moved LMS from a RPi to a Debian Buster LXC which, overall, is a big improvement: - scrolling/searching tracks is much faster - BT pairing on the zero also is much faster and playback is more in sync - the main RPi with LCD has some hiccups and rebooting doesn't influence LMS/playback anymore The only thing is that I have some issues with file permissions and I'm not a Linux expert at all. - I cannot save playlists from squeezer or the LMS web UI - syncing the music folder with Syncback or Robocopy from my desktop towards the SMB share works but Robocopy prompts as if the files are new, even if they already exist. My setup is a Proxmox server with a LXC which runs Debian Buster, Samba and LMS. The share is on a bindmounted host HD.
