[Gnump3d-users] Gnump3d help - will index but not stream

[Richard Wheelock]

Hello all,

I'm attempting to get Gnump3d working to where I can stream my music to local machines, and then eventually to my work computer over the Internet.

Out of the box, it seemed to work brilliantly when I copied a few mp3's to /var/music. But when I changed the root directory to /media/Share/Music, it broke. The homepage at 127.0.0.1:8888 would just be a blank page - no formatting or menus at all. If I tried 127.0.0.1:8888/playlist, I would get the play list generation screen, showing all of the music. However, all the links appeared to be broken. I did some googling, and found that others had experienced similar issues relating to the media being on an NTFS or fat partition, and the way that it is mounted in /etc/fstab. In my case though, it's an ext4 partition on a local drive. I tried changing the owner of the Music folder to gnump3d, and still no luck. I changed the owner of the folder back to myself, and, as before, allow others read only access.

I made some progress by creating a symlink from /media/Share/Music to /var/music/Music, and changing root back to root = /var/music. Now, when I go to 127.0.0.1:8888, I get the properly formatted home page, but no music is listed the way it was at first when I had copied a few files straight to /var/music. I can navigate to the custom playlist page, and see all of the music, but if I click on any of the albums, I'll get something like this (as I did before the symlink):

The requested file /Music/311/Greatest%20Hits%20%2793-%2703/ couldn't be found. Please try returning to the index.

The debug gives this output:

I'm fairly sure this is a permissions issue, but as far as how to resolve it, I'm stumped. Tried doing a "sudo chmod a+r /media/Share/Music", but again no change. Any ideas? I've attached my current gnump3d.conf, though I think I've changed everything back to default.

Thank you,

Richard
