Library not found on mapped devices #6240

I try to use Clementine on Linux Mint version 18.3. I have two mapped directories Windows and NAS, which are mounted on startup on an internal Windows partition and an external NAS Partition. These mounted directories are not found on my system by Clementine. So I cannot handle the music files on the NAS, which is my favorit place for them.

What is the path to each folder? eg: /media/windows /media/nas When you say "two mapped directories" what do you mean? That sounds like Windows terminology. Maybe you mean mounted. What makes you think they are mounted? Can you do ls -la on them? Also, how do you know Clementine can't find them? You may need to go into the settings and add each folder to your library, and check "Scan on startup" is what I use.

Tom,

please excuse my faulty translation, of cause mounting was ment. I have mounted both partitions via the fstab to two directories /Windows and /NAS (actually under root!). I can access both directories from each other program (e.g. Libreoffice, Filemanager, command shell ...) and even have links to these places on my desktop. This works also for any user.

Best regards,

Jo

Possibly related - Trying to use Clementine on Windows with a samba NAS hosted by a pi. Clementine fails to read the music folder, and while it tries, Windows stops being able to access the folder through normal Windows Explorer navigation. I've found that unchecking all of the "Automatic updating" options seems to allow it to finish the scan and not block normal navigation.
