I'm having trouble getting logitechmediaserver working on a new Arch installation. On my old laptop I simply installed logitechmediaserver and added the logitechms user (the user that the application is run as) to the users group. After this, I can start the server and my music directory (located at /home/myusername/Music) is readable.
Following the recommendations on the wiki, my new install assigns each user a default group with the same name as the user name. I had assumed that I could simply add the logitechms user to this new group and everything would work as expected. However, this doesn't seem to be the case and my home directory is not readable by the server (I've logged out, rebooted, etc.).
The music and playlists directories have the same permissions on both systems (755 for directories and 644 for files). The only difference is the group ownership: the old system is myusername:users, and the new one myusername:myusername. Does anyone have any idea what could be going wrong? I've tried manually editing directory paths in /opt/logitechmediaserver/prefs/server.prefs but the media scan still returns nothing. I've also tried changing all of my music folder permissions to 777 but that doesn't work either (not that I want to use that as a solution anyway).
Cheers.
