Strawberry Collection Folder missing after restart

I have a NFS share that gets mounted via fstab. My music collection is on that mount and every time I add the folder in Strawberry music player it gets a very weird path name (I never understood how that works in Bazzite, little bit like magic).

But after some upgrades the pathname changes and I have to add the folder again, which can take several minutes until it finishes to scan.

Is it possible to have a clear folder path? It ist a NFS share, nothing will ever change. Why the cryptic path stuff?

I can’t be the only one with this problem.

Here is what the folder path looks like after a fresh scan:

After almost every Bazzite Update, the folder path changes to some other cryptic path. Even after using the correct path /var/opt/media/Musik

Any ideas how to fix this. Every new scan takes several minutes.

Hi @tenten36. Are you saying that if you enter the /var/opt/media/Musik path (which is static) it gets changed to /run/user/1000/doc/<random>/Musik in Strawberry player?

Can you show the mount line from the fstab?

I don’t think it’s a problem with the nfs mount. Everythings else works great. Only strawberry decides to change that path. Where does that even come from?

Yeah, it’s probably Strawberry acting smart. I wonder if Strawberry (or KDE) is detecting some secondary mount. Can you do mount with no options just to show active mounts and/or df -h. There could be some mount point in /run/user/1000/doc/<random>/Musik.

Are you maybe using or running Strawberry inside Distrobox or some other containerization, even Flatpak? Mount points on a host get mapped in all sort of weird ways inside a container.
