I have NextCloudPi on Raspberry Pi 2 with External USB drive, and trying to Bulk Import Photos and Videos from USB drive into NextCloudPi.
Tried the nc-scan command from root login on the USB folder (/media/myhdd) however it did not scan anything.
Is there an option to bulk import all my photo/video into NextCloudPi
Please help!
More details please.
Ran the nc-scan from web gui
Also, the path for the photos
root@NextCloudPi:/media/USBdrive# find . -type f | wc -l
5377
Additionally, www-data has ownership of the photos folder
root@NextCloudPi:/media/USBdrive/Photos# ls -l
total 36

Did you run nc-fix-permissions before nc-scan?
I think the folder Photos must be inside a user’s folder.
Yes, I did run the nc-fix-permissions before the nc-scan.
I am looking for Bulk import of media into a User on NextcloudPi.
Do you mean, I need to manually “move” the Photos folder / content inside the Photos folder for a user already on NextCloudPi?
Yes and then run nc-fix-permissions and nc-scan
You can find that options on the NextCloudPi web panel under tools
Did that, moved sample set of 400 photos into the Nextcloud user’s Photo folder
ran the nc-fix-permissions (result came as done) and then nc-scan
[ nc-scan ] (Fri Jan 29 20:58:16 GMT 2021)

Photos are still not being shown or imported.
What is your NextCloudPi version?
The last NextCloudPi version is V 1.34.7
This is the current version NextCloudPi 20.0.4 and upgrading to 20.0.6 (in progress now)
Ran the upgrade, and the install log had this:
NextCloudPi updated to version v1.30.0
Running unattended-upgrades
Unattended upgrades active: yes (autoreboot true)
NextCloudPi updated to version v1.34.7
Done. Press any key...
So version shows as v1.34.7
Running the fix permission and scan again now
same response:
I run in to that problem some time ago and that was a bug that was solved.
That’s the reason I asked for the version.
Try to run nc-scan with the path’s empty.
RPI2 is to slow for Nextcloud, I think is better to use the terminal version of web-panel.
Login by SSH and run “sudo ncp-config”, then go to tools and run nc-scan
yep, done this via ssh command-line as well,
same results,
root@NextCloudPi:~# ncp-config
Running nc-fix-permissions
fixing permissions in /media/root/ncdata… done
Done. Press any key…

Did you tried with all the 3 path’s empty?
Do not update to 20.0.6. There are issues and thats why NextCloudPI is on 20.0.4
tried all the 3 paths, same result for both TUI and Web GUI, media photos are still not imported.
Also, looks like the nc-udpate only updated the NextCloudPi version to 1.34.7 and NextCloud is still on 20.0.4.
Yes, NCP will be on 20.0.4 until all NC issues are solved
Please paste “ncp-report”
Use pastebin
ncp-report on pastebin
Any help anyone, how to bulk import photos and videos into NCP?
