I'm trying to use LMS with a computer acting as a home server.
This computer runs an up-to-date Archlinux distribution.
The 7.8.0 version of LMS is available for Archlinux users.
see here : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/logitechmediaserver/
I can install the package without any problem but once installed and enabled, the server is unable to find the media folder.
From the html settings page of the server at http://localhost:9000/, the folders are not shown when the "browse" button is used. When I put the right folder manually and ask LMS to "rescan" the directory, here is what the scanner.log file tels to me :
"Permission non accordée" means that LMS cannot reach this folder because of a sort of permission granting issue a,d I'm really stuck here. Under Archlinux, the group logitechms is created and the main user of the computer must be in the logitechms group. By installing LMS in a laptop running Archlinux, everything works flawlessly. So I tryied to compare the installed folders and configurations files on both computers but everything weems very similar, which is not really surprising. I really don't understand this permission error.
Any help would be really appreciated here.
------------------------------------------
Here a couple of additional informations.
I tried several couples of "user:group" permissions (root, logitechms, etc.) and locations (within home directory, in a distant NFS shared disk, on the Raid1 FS within the computer) for this media folder with always the same result.
