I noticed in the dialogue box it says “Enter user and password for “pishare” and “raspberrypi. I think this is then crashing the samba server and I need to restart it (still to no effect) Now, I get “Unable to mount location Failed to mount Windows share: Invalid argument”. In the past, I have just blindly pressed connect as anonymous and it has worked. Double clicking on the pishare box produces the authentication required dialogue box.

I have done the usual research trying my best to discount the out of date stuff but I’m missing something – I think.įrom Nemo on the laptop when I click on Network I can see RASPBERRYPI folder icon and double clicking it reveals 2 other folders pishare and print$. I'm sorry to appear so clueless.I have done this sort of thing very infrequently over the years and simply cannot remember the various hoops that need to be climbed through.

That's one blind alley I can cross of the list. I presumed it was to enable Pi to cope with SMB addresses. On the samba question, yes I misunderstood its purpose. Is that normal behaviour? One for wifi one for ethernet? On the subject of IP addresses, I'm also confused that there appear to be two points of connection, in my case 192.168.1.133 and 192.168.1.135. Presumably if things were working properly I should be able to see (and scan) the NAS files directly in the My Music screen? With the piCorePlayer selected, the tracks do appear to play but I'm unable to get anything through the Pi's USB output to the amplifier (via a USB Dragonfly DAC). (Would that name have been picked up from the mount point I set: /mnt/Zen ?) Any idea what that means?īoth players are able to see the contents of the NAS by using Remote Libraries (there's a very old instance of LMS running there, that I can't update, but is obviously still able to manage my FLAC library) With the Zen player selected, when I try to play something, nothing happens. But I also see listed a second player named Zen, that has the same IP address. After a bit more fiddling about I can now see piCorePlayer listed among the available players in the LMS web interface. The more> links have proved very useful in the setup process, but in the case of the network mount I'm not sure I understand what it's trying to tell me.

It is not used or needed for connecting to your NAS.Thanks for the reply Paul. Samba is only for sharing files on the pCP device to other computers. For NFS, vers=3.0 is not valid, it is only vers=3 Press the more> links where ever you see them, there is help.įirst issue is. I'd be really grateful for any pointers on how to get up and running or at least to steer me in the direction of where the problems might lie. I have seen a number of solutions that suggest this is a files system issue but none of the suggested fixes have worked for me. SAMBA is not the nicest to setup, and it tends to significantly slow down. PCP says it is running) I'm still not able to mount it via SMB on either mac or Pi. Some suggest to use SAMBA (SMB) to share the printer. I have tried both with CIFS and NFS and although I have enabled Samba (i.e. The attached screenshot shows my latest attempt to address the USB mounted NAS. For Raspberry Pi 1, Raspberry Pi 2, and Raspberry Pi 3, we recommend the 2.5A micro USB supply. helper program).' That of course might be a red herring, if the address is just plain wrong. So I now have the Pi set up with a monitor and keyboard and the Console screen shows a successful startup but with mounting errors to the effect that 'you might need a /sbin/mount. Right now I can see and ping both the Zen and the Pi, but I'm not able to mount it on either the Pi or my mac.

The NAS is an old Innuos Zen MKII, which used to run LMS installed on VortexBox-(the ideal solution I'm sure, but there's another long story as to why that's not for me.) On my mac I can see and mount the music folders at the IP location as Volumes/files/music/flac, but on PCP it does not automatically show as a detected USB disk, and I've clearly no idea how to address it properly. I'd be grateful for any help or pointers from Forum members-I have searched similar issues and tried a few fixes to no avail. Der Samba-Server wurde im Optimalfall erfolgreich konfiguriert. However I'm hitting a wall when trying to mount the NAS drive and point PCP to its music folders. I'm not really familiar with either Linux or Pi operating systems, but thanks to the excellent PCP installation guides I have successfully installed PCP and LMS is running. Presently I run LMS on my main computer (M1 MacMini) which is not convenient. I'm a longtime user of LMS but I am in the process of installing PCP on a Raspberry Pi4 in order to use it as a standalone, always on, LMS server attached by USB to 3TB of music on my NAS.
