You said earlier you have your drive mounted but the database update isn't finding all the directories on it.
The database update is performed by the music player daemon (MPD), a third-party component on which moOde and a number of other music players depend for a number of functions. It requires both proper credentials to access all the music tracks and well-formed metadata tags on the music tracks it accesses. This is true for all the players which use it. At most, they possibly vary in the way they deal with permissions but it depends on the player and the NAS.
There's some good debugging advice on the ArchLinux site: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mus...st_startup
I'm not a Mac user and don't know whether EasyTag, the app they suggest in their second debugging method, is available for OS X.
Here's the tail of the mpd log for a successful rescan I just completed (clipped just before the last of 5718 tracks which were scanned on my NAS)
Code:
Aug 15 12:44 : update: updating NAS/OMV-HC1/Classical/London Symphony Orchestra, Andre Previn/G. Gershwin- Rhapsody In Blue - An American In Paris - Concerto in F/01 London Symphony Orchestra, Andre Previn - George Gershwin - Rhapsody In Blue.flac
Aug 15 12:44 : update: recursive directory found

Aug 15 12:44 : simple_db: removing empty directories from DB
Aug 15 12:44 : simple_db: sorting DB
Aug 15 12:44 : simple_db: writing DB
Aug 15 12:44 : update: finishedSorry, I don't have any problematic NAS so I can't give examples of failures due to permissions or tags showing up in the log.
Hope this helps.
