Ok, then it seems I have a general problem with the media library: neither with the built in fil eupload nor with the watched dropbox folder I get files into the system.

the files exist physically on the system:

and the directories have at least read rights.

the log (is it /var/log/airtime/media-monitor/media-monitor.log ?) show's nothing what helps me immediately:

could it be, that this thing crashed? what process should be running?

to answer 3 (too) - I don't really anderstand why, with the 1.9.x versions you can add/delete viewed directories when you decide to do...

but if that's working for you, why not

By Thor !

this is a way, that's sure

Well, it's a good idea
but airtime, is not really prepared to that...
we can not attach a song to a user (or have in the playlist builder any information about the uploader)
and another thing, all users have access to the integrality of songs... not really a good way to do what you want...(in general is not a good way

Airtime does handle this and will automatically remove the file from the
schedule and any playlists that it belongs to.

It seems it doesn't get along with the rapid creation/deletion of a lot of strangely named files in the dropbox cache. the easiest solution would be to exclude the .dropbox-cache directory and sub directories..
