App wont see the folder in synology

Hi,

trying to set up the lib folder in the audirvana app: (android)
Setting > library > Add Folders
list shows basically the shared folder

homes
music
pgsql
tmp
web
web_packages

but NOT the folder where my library is in.

How can I fix his? Other apps see all the folders.
Any ideas appreciated.

thanks,-m

Hi @achwas,

Can you send a screenshot of your music in the interface of Synology?

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
Here we go. The view from the audirvana app, and from Synology - both taken from the phone the audirvana app is run.


Thank you, -m

Hi @achwas,

Can you send a screenshot of the permissions of this folder?

Hi,
checked into the permissions thing on the NAS.

Given that AV can see and read the standard music folder (all works well if I put some tracks in there), I checked its permissions. Interestingly there an “audirvana-origin” user shows up with full read/write permissions. That must have been set up by AV or the AV app?
see:

This user does not appear in the “Permissions Inspector”, though - for that same folder. Odd.

Anyway, the folder in question wolke2-home does not have permission for user audirvana-origin.

So I’ll try to set permissions for that user.

Which is not working because audirvana-origin is not set up as a valid user/ group…

Looks weird. audirvana-origin seems to be setup as an all permission user only for the standard music directory, its not in the permission list for any other of the folders… So basically hardcoded.

When trying to establish a user audirvana-origin this of course fails as it is “systems-use only” user.

Now is this a bug or a feature?

If it is the latter it should be documented, that add folders is not applicable to NAS setups.

More research: Following the discussion in

There seem to be severe liimitations as to what a system-intenal-user can be used for since DSM 7 security updates. Plex seems to have the same problem.

So, NO GO.

If you set permission for everyone to traverse folders/execute files as a test, do you see the folder in the remote?

Very confusing, this.

I was finally able to set the permissions as requested, now even for the audirvana user (it appears in the permissions menu if clicked from the filestation folder LISTING (left panel) but NOT from any other folder menus on the right panel - go figure) and for the whole file tree and let the NAS reindex, but the app still wont see that folder from the startpoint it chooses in settings ->library. I wonder what path this looks at.

However, if in the app I go all the way back to / (root), and then up again via /volume1/ etc. it can see it, climb up the desired path, and set the library folder as needed. After some extended syncing the whole library is visible and plays.

thanks, -m
