Music Assistant Media/My Media as a music source

1

HNY my HA friends.
Can anyone help share where I might have gone awry here.

I have installed the latest version of Music Assistant, 2.7.2
In Settings/Providers, I have added a number of sources including Spotify, BBC Sounds and Tune-In Radio.
I have also added both Home Assistant and Home Assistant MediaPlayers as I have ripped a number of old CDs which I added to HA and which show up and play in the HA Media side bar, Media Sources/My Media.

However, when I perform a search in Music Assistant, i get results from BBC Sounds, Spotify and TuneIn, but dont get anything from My Media.

Have I missed a configuration setting or does MA only pull media if it is attached to HA in a additional network storage?

Many thanks for any insight you could offer.
Carlos

You have to add the media folder as a provider using the Filesystem (local disk) type. The file path should be just /media.

Thank you. I added the provider Filesystem (local disk) and restarted HA. It seems like it takes a little time to refresh the content and I can now see that the Albums have been added to the system.

Your help has been much appreciated.

Same goes for custom audio files for automations, I just now sorted this out for myself. I used Samba to get into the media folder.
