I can't see my sent files.

Describe the bug
Hi!

When I press F5 I briefly see, I think, my files, but then it's empty.

I did: chown 1000:1000 data/
1000 is my ID.

To Reproduce

Send audio files to the data folder

Version
The latest version of the application.

I did frame by frame with kdenlive 🤣

Hi!

What you see is just the loading state for the web app. It does not actually mean that files were scanned/found
In the settings page, did you run a scan?
If you did, what do the server's logs say? Also, how are your files organized?

[zarevskaya]

Oh... //data!

It's probably my mistake!

[Arthi-chaud]

Yup, when you create your library, you should not include the /data. Instead, you should set the path to ./ or music/

[zarevskaya]

Ok, it's better, but I still can't see my music:

You should check out the recommended file structure here

Unfortunately it's not necessarily music that comes from albums. It is therefore impossible for me to use it.

[Arthi-chaud]

I didn't consider this usecase. I just opened an issue about it.

A workaround is:

• set the metadata source to 'path' instead of 'embedded' in the settings.json file (you must restart the server after changing it)
• create fake album folders (named like as 'Unknown Album')

[zarevskaya]

Thanks a lot!! :)

[Arthi-chaud]

Did you manage to use the workaround?
If you can't use it, I will close this issue in favour of #689

[zarevskaya]

Hey, not really. The result is random. I mean there are albums it doesn't detect. Thanks 👍

[zarevskaya]

Victory!
