This means LMS doesn't have access to /Volumes/music
and
Let me try tomorrow and get back..
That is what the above post is about. "Granting full disk access to perl". But I suspect subbu's problem to be deeper than that. He says it was working earlier and now after shifting, it is not working. Most probably during installation, LMS started with Subbu's login id. After shutdown, LMS is probably running with a totally different uid. The NAS share is probably mounted only to give access to subbu's uid. That's why i have asked him to do ls -l on the NAS share to show the permissions of the directories and ps -ef command of the squeezebox perl process to confirm that it is running with Subbu's uid.
@mbhangui
ran the commands and got as below. When running the ls-l command I first got a popup but without checking pressed enter. I think it was to allow the access that unfortunately had the default button Disallow. I think I pressed it
This is the terminal after that incident. Not able to go back to that same pop-up. All ls-l command runs return not permitted.

I used Finder Go > Connect to Server and through the above IP/music
Looks like only finder has access to the mount. Can you unmount and mount it again and then again to ls -l on /Volumes/music
Oh yes, I did unmount and mounted the NAS again before running the ls -l. I posted the Terminal screenshot after that process.
maybe after reboot again try the ls -l. The output of ls -l is crucial to know what is happening. It will show the permissions of the files and folders and who owns them. The first uid on mac is 501. Maybe your synology NAS has assigned a different uid and ls -l will show that. If ls -l cannot show you the files, neither will perl executable have access. This will cause LMS not be able to build the library and will have zero music files. Can you send me the screenshot of
What you have installed is slimserver as LMS. Now that I know that you are using slimserver, I did a google search and this is a common problem of slimserver getting access to attached volumes. One good thing I can see is that it is running with uid 501 which is your uid. See the screenshot for permissions below. That is exactly the same permissions you need to give
Glad it worked. Though I think if you had given perl disk access, it would have worked on Catalina too.Manavendra @mbhangui , @surfatwork
Oh, yeah made the Mac to work. That Catalina was catapulting LMS's access to the NAS. Rolled back to Mojave aur maja aa gaya. Deleted the LMS on the laptop. Now Mac can serve me till it dies
Squeezeplayer on Mac and Squeezelite-X on laptop controlled by Squeeze Controller app on my mobile. Paid INR 400 for that app, worth it.
Thank you for your efforts to try and help me out.
True, if I had known how to do it.
All that was required was settings --> Security & Privacy --> Disk Access --> click on the lock icon to unlock --> click on the + symbol and type /usr/bin/perl5.18. Screenshot attached.True, if I had known how to do it.
Wish I had put the Mac into work earlier. Never knew this use. Also should have dived into the Terminal commands and such things but was not confident and partly afraid I'd bust the Mac. First time I did that when I converted an old Vaio into a Chromebook in 2020 - 20 plus years after starting to use computers
Was trying to do that taking cue from what you wrote earlier and another forum post that was pointed to. Was not able to complete that . The OK button was grayed out and was not able to open to anything active in Perl 5.18 folder.
