Hi guys,

the default persmissions on the current release (244) are not set correctly and the RADIOs would for example fail to play.
A chown and an update of the DB seems to fix the issue:

Under

/var/lib/mpd/music
sudo chwon -R mpd:audio RADIO/

then
mpc update

I suspect the same happens also when USB are mounted. Hopefully you can confirm this.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Although default installed radio stations should work, there might be issues when adding new stations. I added the fix to the current Beta and it will also be set automatically in version 2.45.

Thanks for the report!
