`local/media_dir` not loading from config #208

Closed iancboswell closed 5 years ago

iancboswell commented 5 years ago

I've been running mopidy as a service on my Raspberry Pi, and decided I'd try to set up the local extension. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be reading anything I put into the media_dir parameter. This is from my /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf:

[local]
enabled = true
library = json
media_dir = "/home/pi/Music"
scan_timeout = 1000
scan_flush_threshold = 100
scan_follow_symlinks = false
excluded_file_extensions = 
  .directory
  .html
  .jpeg
  .jpg
  .log
  .nfo
  .png
  .txt

When I restart the service, it gives me a warning that media_dir must be set, and disables the local extension. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug with the config? I added in the quotes after it didn't work with the raw path, but they didn't seem to make a difference. /home/pi/Music is a real folder with a few mp3 files in it.

The Mopidy service runs as user mopidy. Does it have the required permissions to see that directory owned by user pi?

Also, please post at https://discourse.mopidy.com/ for usage help. We try and keep the bug trackers for confirmed bugs. And this definitely isn't a mopidy-spotify bug.

Indeed it does. That directory has read access to all. Thanks for the quick reply and apologies for opening this issue in the wrong place. I thought it might be a bug because at the very least it's giving me a misleading warning (that I didn't specify local/media_dir, when I actually did)

I've started a topic in the discourse forum so I'll go ahead and close this issue here.
