Moved SMB share hard drive and it won't scan

Hi, Had a few issues with my router, and my library was on an SSD plugged into the USB3 port on the back of the router. I have today, moved the SSD and plugged it into an old Mac, and all is working fine, I can access, edit, delete things with no issue. I fired up Audirvana, and it obviously started complaining that it couldn’t access the library, so I deleted the old paths, and the database files, reopened Audirvana, and it would not scan my 3 music folders. One of the folders, it would scan some of the music. The main folder with the majority of files, it did not scan anything.

I thought it might be a weird permissions thing, so I made a duplicate folder called Albums 2, transferred all the contents of the main folder called Albums, and then once the transfer was complete, I deleted the old Albums folder, and renamed the new Albums 2 folder back to Albums. Deleted the database files again, and tried to rescan, but it kind of flickers briefly that it is scanning and then nothing. No music in Audirvana at all.

Edit, it only seems to be the Albums folder that won’t scan, the other 2 folders are scanning fine and they are in the same directory as the folder that won’t scan.

I’m on a Mac for playback, and also a Mac for the SMB share.

Is there anything else I can do to get this working please?

Thanks.

I removed the drive from the SMB and hooked it directly to my MacBook and it scanned perfectly, all folders, files, and really quickly.

I added it back to the SMB and tried again, and it will scan all the folders in that same directory, apart from the Albums one.

Even weirder, I can scan any of the sub folders within the albums folder, just fine, but not the folder that they are in.

Permissions for the folder are as they should be. Not sure what else to check?

Hi @user1234567890,

Can you go into the Audirvāna settings and in the My Account section? You will see a ‘Start Log Session’ button; click on it and reproduce your issue. After you reproduce it, click 'Stop Log Session’ and send me the audirvana_origin.log file you can find by clicking the 'Open Log Folder’ button.

Thanks for the reply, my router has died and the new one will be here tomorrow, so I’m hoping that this weirdness is because of that. I will update here once I have tested, thanks.

So, 3 faulty Cat 7 cables, faulty router and MacOS 15.4 beta were all causing problems. Seems to be all OK now, thanks.

Is there a way to show enclosing folder where the track or album is located? Like right click->show enclosing folder in macOS.
