scanner not finding music
skibz opened this issue · comments
i suspect that this issue is due to the fact that the file system i am searching is ntfs based.
to clarify, i'm running on yosemite using ntfs-3g to make my drive writable.
the drive is available at /Volumes/mydrive but when i point otto to it for a scan, nothing is found.
the scanning function works as expected if used on my mac's internal hard disk (journaled partition table)
which is why i'm thinking it's an ntfs issue.
i managed to reproduce the issue on linux.
turns out, the problem was the name of my drive (My Passport)
the python scan script reported that it couldn't find the file/folder named /Volumes/My, so it wasn't parsing the given scan path correctly.
renaming my drive partition to a word with no space characters fixed the problem on both os x and linux.
