I've attached the output from exiftool

CR2 is Canon RAW format, is that supported ?

Is there any way to debug why it doesn't scan for images, I get the
feeling it only scans for videos (since it finds the MOV files) but not
for images (since it didn't find *.jpg or *.JPG). The LMS user have read
(but not write) permission to the files and directories. The photos are
stored behind a softlink inside the media folder, but I'm guessing that
should work ? Or isn't Linux soft links supported in LMS ? I'm guessing
they are supported as it does finds the MOV files even though it isn't
able to scan them properly.

The database tables where I'm guessing images and videos should be
stored was completely empty after scanning, the "tracks" table
contained all music including album covers.
