FileBot

I have installed Filebot on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine via Snap. I have a mounted volume on my Ubuntu machine mapped to a NAS share where all my media is stored. When I attempt to browse to the mount via the Filebot GUI I do not see the actual share mounted.
What do I need to do in Filebot to view the mount? Or, is this a limitation of Filebot?
I am new to Filebot and would greatly appreciate any assistance. I understand there is a CLI option. If accessing the mounted share via CLI is the preferred option I would appreciate any assistance in pointing me to documentation on using the CLI features.
Thanks.

snap packages are sandboxed and are only allowed to access files in certain locations. If you want to allow FileBot to access /media then you need to explicitly allow that:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5139

I already tried running that command and still have the issue in the GUI.

[ ed@edmate1604: ~ ]$ sudo snap connect filebot:removable-media

Where are your files located?

They are located on a NAS. I have mapped a share via CIFS on my local Ubuntu Mate machine located at /mnt

View via Caja file explorer:



View via Filebot:

snap applications are prevented from accessing /mnt by the sandbox. Only the $HOME and /media folders are accessible.

If you want a snap application to have full access to your system, then you need to install it with --devmode.

I had done that also.

If you're already running in --devmode then I have no idea. Maybe traditional permission? Have you tried using drag and drop instead of the Load button?

Drag and drop every file? Or just the folder?
I have, easily, over 100 files in my media directory.

I'd try dropping both folders and individual files. You can also CTRL+A select all files and then drop them, or their parent folder, whatever is easier.
