Minimserver not finding new music

[Barbie-qu]

Posting this in case it helps anyone else with the same issue I had.

Simon's solution below helped fix the following:

Problem: Android control apps Bubbleupnp and Hi-Fi Cast were not seeing any updates to the music in my library after triggering Minimserver to do a rescan.

For added clarity, in step 8, 'Apply to this folder, sub-folders and files' is a check box you select before clicking 'Done'

Thanks Simon

N.B. Synology NAS running DSM 7.2.1

DSM 7 does not allow MinimServer to run as the root user. Instead, MinimServer runs as the MinimServer user. The MinimServer user is a member of the MinimServer group and the administrators group.

To ensure the MinimServer user has access to all your music folders as well as new folders that are created in the future, do the following:

1) In File Station, right-click the shared folder that contains your music library and select Properties
2) In the properties dialog, select Permission
3) A dialog titled Edit Shared Folder <name> will open
4) In this dialog, the list of users and groups with read access should contain either MinimServer or administrators. If it does, continues with step 8. If it doesn't, continue with step 5.
5) If the list of users and groups with read access does not contain either MinimServer or administrators, click Create
6) This opens a Permission Editor dialog. In the 'User or group' field, select either the administrators group or the MinimServer user, assign read access and click Done.
7) In the Edit Shared Folder <name> dialog, you should see the new permission you have just added
8) In the Edit Shared Folder <name> dialog, check 'Apply to this folder, sub-folders and files' and click Done
