Unable to add any music folder

[gardiol]

Downloaded latest linux binary and i get, when starting:

------------------------------
SwingMusic 1.4.8 
Started app on:
➤ http://localhost:1970
------------------------------

Exception in thread Thread-1 (run_swingmusic):

App seems to be working, but every attempt to add any kind of folder result in:

Any idea on how to enable logs or get more info and fix this issue?

Hello @gardiol

Thanks for trying Swing Music. The errors indicate that the XDG config folder could not be automatically determined (a guess). Are you running it in a root kind of setting?

Anyway, try setting the config folder manually using --config:

# use fullpath
./swingmusic --config /home/user/.config

The config folder should exist before using the above.

By manually specifying:

--config /data/daemons/swingmusic/.config

and mkdir'ing it, it worked.

I am running swing as user "swingmusic", but the .config was missing, so i guess that was the issue. I think swing should create it if missing or at least print a more meaningful message, just in case!

thanks!
