Works great. Just having trouble pointing Navidrome to one specific folder for music. I believe it’s searching the entire NAS which poses a problem with cached and hidden folders. Any song I add is triplicated in Navidrome. If I could easily point Navidrome to one specific folder for music, that’d make this app 10/10.

Hello developer, Navidrome is a very useful music player. Thank you very much for your contributions to the community. However, I need to report an issue: the latest ARM 64 version (0.57.0) of the installation package seems to have a problem. After installation, it shows a “connection refused” error. When I switch to the older version (0.54.3), it works normally.

Otherwise all seems great but the install configures /share as your music library and therefore scans your entire NAS for songs. This cannot be changed within the Navidrome UI as far as I can tell: you can’t that path, and you can’t delete the library. So I’ll take my chances with the QNAP Container Station. Wish me luck.

Since it is not settable in the parameter, you can still modify the path in the startup script.
it is set to /share because everyone do not have his Multimedia file in same location
