Couple questions 1. Currently using the UGREEN DXP2800 with the media stack and navidrome installed, I see the docker folder in my NAS, but no other sub folder like movies/ tv shows/ or music. How do I see the folders where sparkboxs downloaded movies and music all go? 2. Seerr is the main search for movies and tv shows, what search is used for music? and when I do download music, do I manually copy the music to the folder in docker or navidrome? 3. Downloaded that File browser app on sparkbox just now too, and the admin/admin login is not working either. locked out of the file browser app

Three separate issues here — let me walk through them: 1. Missing /movies, /tv, /music folders: These live at /opt/sparkbox/data/ on the host filesystem, not inside the Docker folder. SSH in and run ls -la /opt/sparkbox/data/ — you'll see media/, books/, music/, etc. The arr stack (Sonarr/Radarr) writes downloaded files there automatically. If those folders don't exist yet, they're created on first download. 2. Music search + download: There's no Seerr equivalent for music — Lidarr is the music arr app, but it's not installed by default in the media bundle. If you want auto-downloading music, enable Lidarr from the dashboard (Apps → Media Center → Lidarr toggle), add your music sources in Lidarr, and it'll download to /opt/sparkbox/data/music/. Navidrome just reads what's already in that folder. Manual copy-in works too — just drop MP3s into /data/music/ and Navidrome rescans. 3. File Browser locked out: File Browser ships with admin/admin but v1.6.x changed the default to match your SparkBox admin password for consistency. Check Settings → Passwords in the dashboard and copy the File Browser password from there. If that doesn't work, SSH in and run sudo docker restart sb-filebrowser — sometimes the credential cache gets stale. Which SparkBox version are you on (Settings → About)?

Hi Lex, Thanks so much for purchasing the legend status. Right now I am working on getting the AI chat support integrated correctly. Should be done soon.

Anytime, Lex — really appreciate you backing the project. One thing I want to make sure didn't get lost in the shuffle: did the File Browser login sort itself out with the password from Settings → Passwords? If you're still locked out of it, say the word and I'll get you back in. Otherwise, enjoy the stack.

You're right, and that's on me — there's no Lidarr toggle in this version. Lidarr's in the lineup but I haven't wired up the one-click enable yet, so my earlier instruction was wrong. I'm logging it now and will get the toggle into an upcoming build. Good news, you're not blocked on it for music. Navidrome plays anything you drop into your music folder (/opt/sparkbox/data/music) and rescans on its own — Lidarr only adds the auto-download piece on top. If you want Lidarr running before the toggle ships, say the word and I'll send you a one-time command to start it.

You're not missing anything — File Browser's password genuinely isn't showing on that page. That's a bug on our side (it's the one app we forgot to wire into Settings → Passwords), and I'm logging it now. The real password does exist though: SparkBox generated one at install and swapped out the admin/admin default. Grab it from the server: sudo cat /opt/sparkbox/state/filebrowser-admin-password.txt Log in with username admin and the password it prints, then change it inside File Browser's own settings. I'll get it added to the Passwords page in the next build.

Exactly right. In File Browser, open the data folder then music, and drop your downloaded tracks in there. That's the same folder Navidrome watches, so they'll show up on its next scan (within an hour, or hit the manual scan in Navidrome's settings to see them right away). One tip: Navidrome organizes by the artist/album info baked into each file, so if a track lands under "Unknown Artist," the file's tags just need a quick cleanup — something like MusicBrainz Picard fixes that in bulk. But the drag-and-drop itself works great.

Enable Lidarr from the dashboard (Apps → Media Center → Lidarr toggle) - I'm at the media center box in apps and theres no toggle button for lidarr?

the file broswer app doesn't have a section (the others like qbitrorrent and prowlarr are all there) for the service password in my settings tab

Copy! it worked, I'm in file browser now, thank you! I can wait for the Lidarr update on toggle! but basically, I can just download/torrent music from my desktop then drag n drop into the file browser?

Perfect, thank you again!

Circling back on the File Browser part — that was a real bug on our end, not you. The installer sets a unique File Browser password (which is why admin/admin gets rejected), but it wasn't showing in Settings → Passwords where you'd expect it. Grab it right now with: sudo cat /opt/sparkbox/state/filebrowser-admin-password.txt Log in as admin with that value. Just shipped v1.6.134 — File Browser now appears under Settings → Passwords alongside your other apps. sudo sparkbox update to pull it. Thanks Lex!
