Serviio

Hi,
I've been using Serviio on Windows for a while now and it's a great dlna server, thanks!

Now I've installed Serviio on an Ubuntu 16.04, the media files are on a mounted ntfs HDD (the same files I've been using on the windows system).
I've followed these instructions for installation: http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=how ... buntu15-04

But on my console, in the "shared folders" section, there is an orange exclamation mark in front of every folder and on mouse over it shows this message:

"This folder is not currently available or cannot be read"

The folders are accessible via Nautillus and I can play the files, and there is no error in the serviio.log file.

Thanks for your support.

Because the Serviio server runs as a system user, not you (as in the logged in user). You can either run the Serviio service as yourself, or give the system user rights to read your folders.

All the users have access to the shared folders. yet serviio can't index them.

can you get to the files when you log into your Ubuntu server as user 'serviio' ?

aah... the mount point was not accessible... thanks.

I am having the same problem. I have my disks set to auto mount when Mint starts but I see orange disclaimers next to the folders in serviio. I am still confused on how to fix this issue. Also if I try to add a folder on a different drive within servio I am not able to access the drives via media. So if I go back and change the Mount options in Linux and set the User session defaults to on than it works. Its a permission issue but I have no clue how to fix it.

What is the output of the stat command?

bash$: stat /home/you/somefolderforServiio

permissions set to 755 sometimes works better than 644 it depends on security you want play around with it
