SqueezePlay OS (Version 3) for OpenFrame

Can you check what Windows shows when you look at the router

In Win 10 (I think) type

\\192.168.1.254

in the file explorer or whatever it's called (I use win7)

This should show you folder on the usb

Can you check properties or path info ?

[hawsey]

Is this what you mean ?


I've plugged the HDD back in now

[castalla]

Okay .... looks okay.

Let's try this line in fstab

//192.168.1.254/usb2 /mnt/music cifs username=guest,password=,sec=ntlm

remove the other lines we've tried (if they are still there

put a return at the end of the line

You can copy and paste the above line

Save

in putty,

sudo mount -a

[hawsey]

I think thats better fingers crossed , no errors reported , do i do dir mnt/music now ?

[castalla]

yes

in putty dir /mnt/music

[hawsey]

dir: cannot access mnt/music : No such file or directory

Putting the little one to bed , back in 10

[castalla]

Be sure you have typed it correctly

dir /mnt/music

if no go

then in winSCP, check that there is a folder /mnt and in that there's /music

[hawsey]

Thats looking good now i have ,

home MUSIC Photographs $RECYCLE .BIN etc

is that it

[castalla]

Almost there ......

type

dir /mnt/music/MUSIC

[hawsey]

Wooo Hooo

[hawsey]

Brilliant , so what was the ,sec=ntlm bit that got it going ?

[castalla]

Looking good!

Just to try and tidy things up .....

In fstab

change the line to

//192.168.1.254/usb2/MUSIC /mnt/music cifs username=guest,password=,sec=ntlm


in putty

sudo mount -a

then

dir /mnt/music

[hawsey]

OK so I get this now

[castalla]

Brilliant , so what was the ,sec=ntlm bit that got it going ?

It's something to do with security. Honestly, I haven't seen it used for ages (except for some Mac drives).

I'd totally forgotten about it.

We need to do one last test before you can get into LMS settings and point the music library to /mnt/music

fstab should mount the drive whenever the joggler is turned on, so you should reboot the joggler, putty in and check that

dir /mnt/music

gives the file listing

---------------------------------

Try a reboot - see if you just get the files listed

[hawsey]

Interesting ....

So when i re boot and do dir /mnt/music i do get the listing , but on the joggler when i look it just says empty.

[castalla]

The listing is just the music files - none of the other stuff like Photographs, etc. ??

[hawsey]

Yes

[castalla]

Okay - looks good ... apart from that strange message when you tried the mount -a .

BUT let's ignore that for the moment.

Looks like the mounting of the router usb is working. We can leave that alone now.

You now need to set up LMS to use the /mnt/music folder

In a browser, go to the LMS gui (that's http://jogglerIP:9000) - you might see the setup wizard, or you might just get to the gui itself. Either way you need to point the music library to /mnt/music - once youve done this LMS will scan the files and build a database. When this is finished, you should be able to see the files under My Music on the Joggler.

Have a look - come back if you encounter problems 0 note scanning can take some time - be patient.

I suggest using a proper PC to do the LMS setup not that phone thing you're using!!!

* use the actual joggler ip address:9000

Brilliant , so what was the ,sec=ntlm bit that got it going ?

Glad you two got there, it's been keeping me awake at night

When I have done a disk mount using Max2play on a raspberry pi I had seen that argument, but never bothered to find out what it was for

user=name,password=pass,sec=ntlm,iocharset=utf8

[castalla]

Those error messages are SOOOOO cryptic - worse than just saying 'FAIL' !
