Library is lost on reboot, needs full re-scan to see files
-
Hello!
This issue has been driving me insane --
I have an external drive with my entire music library connected to a Linux Mint PC. I point the Strawberry library to the appropriate drive/folder... and everything loads as you'd expect. Everything continues to work, even if I close Strawberry and re-open it.
Once I need to reboot the actual PC, however... the next time I open Strawberry, the entire library is lost. I have to re-add the drive/folder into the collection, and wait for it to recompile (and also lose things like fixed album images as well.)
The odd thing is that the folder path is strange, once added:
/run/user/1000/doc/......
Which is nothing like the the simple mount point. The mount is more like:
/usbmedia01
The closest thing to a similar issue I've seen posted here, is the last reply by DGG at this thread:

Thanks!

Make sure the disk is mounted before you open strawberry. To prevent the songs from disappearing if the disk is not mounted, turn off "Update the collection when strawberry starts" Under Settings / Collection, and "Grey out unavailable songs in playlists on startup" in playlist settings.
