after using Twonky v6 for a long time I just installed a new Linux box (with OpenSUSE 42.1) and put the TwonkyServer 8.2 on it. The Twonky process runs non-root and my files are served to the clients, but there are two folder problems here:
1) In Settings -> Sharing -> Browse some folders of the filesystem are missing (mostly system specific folders like /bin or /lib, but especially /opt, which is a mounted local filesystem on a second harddisk). The user the Twonky process runs as has sufficient filesystem rights to access the folder and the files, but it's just invisible to Twonky. I solved this by creating symbolic links from /opt to the /home-folder of this user (these links are visible to Twonky), but I'd like to access the files directly
2) One of my favorite albums is "Recycler" from ZZ TOP, and this album is also invisible / missing. Because of the special name of the album (it's also the folder name) I emptied the parameter "ignoredir" in twonkyserver.ini and did a rebuild of the database, but it's still missing. In the logfile (with full debug info) I found this:
Code: Select all
LOG_SYSTEM: upnp_ini_file_read_properties_from_file : ignoredir =
[...]
LOG_SCAN: scan_directory : ignored directory /home/service/twonky/medialinks/FLAC/ZZ TOP/Recycler
