Can't add media folder.

I can't add a media folder to serviio. I launch the server and the console both the serviio install folder and the media folder are owned by the user running the server and both folders have chmod 777 just to be safe but it just won't add them. I add it and specificity the media type and the console says it's there but no client nor the website can see any content although they can see the server fine. When I stop and start serviio I have to re-add the folder as if it was never there. I looked in the logs but have no errors at all. I've tried both manually adding the folder as well as using the file browser. The folder is local to the server. Am I doing something wrong? I have dcraw, ffmpeg, and java 8 installed.
