What does this error mean? When I start Firefly, my log shows:

After that, the error in the subject just repeats.

It means that the path that is configured as the mp3_dir either doesn't have any music file in it, or the permissions on them are such that the server can't read them.

Those errors are mostly normal errors that are from the initial creation of the database.

It keeps repeating, because it keeps trying to recreate the database since it thinks that since it finds 0 songs, it must be because there is something corrupt in the database, so it keeps trying to rebuild the database from scratch.

But the underlying problem is that it doesn't find any music. Either because of configuration of the mp3_dir, or permissions.

Ron,

Is it okay if the media location folder that the firefly server scans for music contains non mp3 files? Will it always crash if there is a file there that isnt an audio file?

Thanks,
David
