The final step was embarrassingly basic; I juste needed to reboot the nas after I’d loaded music onto it.

Minimserver default is to rescan the library when it is started, including after a reboot. That's almost certainly what got it working after copying the music files to the NAS, but there should be a control in Snakeoil to allow you to stop/start Minimserver, or specifically to rescan the library without having to reboot the NAS.

It takes me roughly twenty seconds to rescan a
4TB library in Snakeoil using either Minimserver or LMS. Kith is a Linux expert - he doesn't need technical advice from anyone on this forum.

Just wanted to mention that a reboot solved my problem. There may be other methods.

I have no idea what you're trying to say with your reply - I was just letting Oscar know that he may well not need to reboot to initiate a rescan...
