That is absolute, I'm on OSX. /Users/xo/Desktop/Music/ is the full path.

Tried that too, I've tried relative, absolute, smb, ftp. No file paths seem to be working at all. I'm assuming this is OS X specific considering no one else seems to have had this issue.

you can set it in your database table settings and edit the key 'media_path' and edit it to your path value like this: s:17:"/home/yugal/Music";

Of course since this is serialized data you need to adapt the 17 to whatever string length you put as a path.

Confirming here as well the sync button in the UI is not working as expected.
The issue seems to be the request body which is not formatted as the advertised JSON.

POST /api/settings HTTP/1.1
...
Content-Length: 10
...
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
...

Request body:
/var/music

Fixed. Laravel 5.2 changed Eloquent's lists() behavior, and I missed this in my tests. Sorry guys.

Just do a git fetch --all && git checkout v1.1.1 and you should be set. Updated the docs as well.
