Tony said that the user / group and permissions on a non working folder
are identical to a working folder when looked at with WinSCP.  If that
is really correct from top level down then LMS should be able to see
them but apparently it can’t.

Although Tony doesn’t say so explicitly the QNAP must be fairly old -
top level being called Qmultimedia not Multimedia as it is on latest
models - but in order to run LMS must be using digimaster’s package and
must be fairly powerful. One thing that has changed in recent firmware
is a nag that tells you when you are using the default admin account and
suggests you change it. Tony - did you follow that advice?

I don’t use LMS directly on my QNAP and haven’t done for years largely
for this sort of reason. I can’t run digimaster’s package as my QNAP
isn’t powerful enough but it is perfectly good as a file store. Hence I
run LMS on another machine and point it at the files on the NAS. I also
have a Pi4 running pCP as a dev server pointed at the QNAP so I would
totally endorse the suggestion that Jim makes in this regard.

However as you say it was working ok so something has changed and it
probably is really simple. It may be a good idea to seek advice in
digimaster’s QNAP thread. My money is still on a subtle change on the
QNAP in relation to user or group rights and how the files have been
written from Windows to the QNAP.

Nevertheless It is possible that the files themselves have been created
differently and aren’t valid in Linux terms but are to Windows.

To upload a couple put them in a Zip file.

Just to recap. 
1. If you run a clear and rescan you get exactly the same results?
2. If you place a non working file into a working folder can LMS see and
play the file?
3. What is your folder path structure - Qmultimedia/Music/Artist/Album -
or are there sub folders between Music and Artist?
