PNPIII - trying to get NAS mounted for LMS - SUCCESS!!

[Error]

I just can't get it to work. I made the Joggler administrator on the NAS but still I can't mount the share.
Either the weel keeps turning or if I don't fill in user and passw then it says its mounted, but in Logitech Server I can't see any files once I pointed it to media1... I don't get what could be wrong?

In SWF Launcher I try to restart Logitech Media Server but how do I run a script?? I touched it, kept my finger on it for seconds, chose the x behind it but then lost the commandline... How do i do it or do I just have a weird installation?

[offbeatdave]

Just pressing it runs the script. It won't show anything happening but it will be in the background. The x deletes it I'm afraid. This feature was built into the app by the original autfgor. Sorry!

[Error]

hm looked like I was one step closer; instead of naming IP-address I named the name of the server and then it said (including user and passw)
Ik was ok.
But no.. Server can't find my musicsystem..

Grr getting a bit frustrated here..

I think you might have a better chance of getting things working if you switch to the Squeezeplay OS route. Unless you really want all the other Joggler stuff, then SqPos is the way to go.

See: http://birdslikewires.co.uk/articles/squeezeplay-os

[Error]

tried that as well but got stuck on a mysqueezebox account.. The reflashed PNP3. Mostly because it has indeed some apps which might be useful to our family..

Have been trying some things and LMS sits now 'scanning my files (but in Dutch then lol)
It sits like that for an hour already, dunno if that's all right but if it takes long I leave it on all night..
Fingers crossed.......

[castalla]

How many files do you have? A scan shouldn't take long if you have a reasonable number.

Another issue is that you probably have installed LMS 7.7.2 - the later versions (7.8) have a lot of fixes, including a quicker scan!

Using SpQos is a bit more complicated to set up with an optimal system - but then if you need the other apps then you'll probably not be too bothered.

[Error]

well left it on this night, but now its still scanning so I'm fearing it doesn't work.. it does however recognize my system so that is one step closer..

[Error]

I stopped the scan after 13 hours and nothing found... Media Server is 7.8 I discovered.

How EXACTLY should I name the share? Just 'Muziek' or //servername\Muziek??

[castalla]

From the PnP quick guide, it looks pretty straightforward - just enter the NAS name and the NAS folder without any slashes. You have to hit Add data button.

You then need to set the folder in LMS - looks like /media/media is the path to look at.

I haven't set up PnP so I can't easily see what the results are.

You can login to the Joggler using PuTTY - user joggler password joggler. Then type: dir /media/media

You should see the mounted folder there.

[Error]

I won't succeed... I'll look into putty then.. A program to install on my laptop so I can acces Joggler right?

[castalla]

PuTTY - http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgta ... nload.html

This will let you login to the joggler - you'll see a command line prompt. Just type: dir /media/media

Note what is returned - post results here.

[castalla]

Your NAS is not a mac mini, is it?

[castalla]

In PuTTY, just enter the NAS IP address - then click on Open

It will then ask for username - joggler
Then password - joggler

You should be logged in.

Exit by simply closing PuTTY.

[Error]

yesterday I didn't have time anymore to joggle..

No my NAS is a Seagate Blackarmor 110 2TB. Its usage (photo, film, audio ) is around 25% of that. How long should that LMS take to load??

I'm looking into PuTTY now.. Will get back once I have results..

[castalla]

I've been trying to find info on your NAS. Seems rather complicated.

But:

Can you try the following as the location:

DataVolume/Muziek

or if that doesn't work

/DataVolume/Muziek

edit: I think you should also hit the remove share button before trying a new location

[Error]

you're sure about that?

[castalla]

Hmmm ... clear as mud!

Try Public/Muziek

Unless we can discover the exact file location, then it's never going to work

Can you access the shares using File Explorer?

[Error]

Yes (not at the moment now@work), but accessing via Windows Explorer works fine.

Downloaded PuTTY, will give it a go when I'm home.

[castalla]

Okay - when you access via Explorer, then you should be able to determine the exact directory/folder location - select the folder and hit right click - properties
