[SOLVED] File/Directory Permissions Problem Addding New Music

[Tim Curtis]

Root:root is ok. It's prolly insufficient directory permissions. MPD needs read ® access to files and read+execute (r_x) access to all parent directories. Look in the MPD log (moodeutl --mpdlog) for permission errors.

Example:

Code:

# All parent dirs back to /mnt have drwxr-xr-x 2 root root permissions

# Album dir
pi@trx:~ $ ls -l /mnt/NVME/Music/FLAC/Andre\ Previn\ Trio/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 25 09:55 'Like Previn!'

$ Music files
pi@trx:~ $ ls -l /mnt/NVME/Music/FLAC/Andre\ Previn\ Trio/Like\ Previn\!/
total 263628
