Missing files on Synology

As a test, you can try removing your main shared folder from contentDir and setting the logging level to Debug. If you do a MinimServer rescan with these settings, what do you see in the log window?

Simon,

Thank you for the reply. This turned out to be a problem with Synology's permissions. I created the new folders as admin, gave them needed permissions (including minimserver daemon), and used the move command in File Station to move the files. All files worked fine before. So one would think that permissions would be moved along with the files or whatever. No.

The music folders, which are organized by artist (e.g., San Francisco Symphony) had all needed permissions. Folders below that (e.g., folder for Beethoven Symphony No9 and the flac files it contains) did not have any permissions. I had to select each artist folder, open the permissions tab, check "copy permissions to subfolders and files" and hit OK; then all was well after a restart of MinimServer.

If any Synology experts read this and can tell me how to avoid the problem, I'd appreciate it since I need to move some more files around.
