I have searched on here, and found a lot of instances where this is a problem, but I have tried all the solutions, and none seem to work.
minidlna.c:670: error: Media directory "/media/david/storage/Videos" not accessible [Permission denied]
I have this drive mounted in fstab using the following: UUID=c1b49ab0-9e14-4435-8483-b6311ec47a3c /media/david/storage ext4 auto,nofail,rw,acl 0 2
I have also tried just plugging it in without the line in fsab, but it doesn't work.
I have user set to root in both minidlna.conf and /etc/default/minidlna
I have tried all kinds of permissions on the folder, but nothing helps.
I can change the directory to somewhere like /usr and the error goes away. For some reason it just won't work with my usb drive. I even tried plugging in a different drive formatted to exfat, and it also did not work.
The strange thing is that minidlna does work in mxlinux, just plugging in the drive, and changing the settings to root in the two configuration files. But I would really like this to work in Ubuntu.
I hope there is something I am missing.
