HDD connection on router

[Bjarne]

Hi

I got a Asus RT N66U router with USB where I can connect a USB HDD.
Does anybody know if it's possible to play the music on it with Rune Audio?
Just connecting it to the router I can see it in windows explorer

Thanks in advance

That should be a Samba share, so the answer is yes.
Go to Menu > Sources > Add new mount, select "SMB/CIFS" as Fileshare protocol, put your router's IP address and set correctly the Remote directory (you have to know it to make it work). That's all...

Thanks

I know the IP and set it to "SMB/CIFS", but I'm not shure about the Remote dir.
I have tried different path according to picture, but without success

Music is playing
But there is no cover art?
There is a jpg file called "Folder.jpg" in same dir as music.

Weird. It showed up when second track started to play

How many mounts is it possible to make to the same HDD on my router?
I tried to make 9 because my music is placed in different genres and to avoid too much clicking down path.
But it only mounts a part of them and when remount all it's a different number that is mounted?

Why don't you use the "Add to favorites" feature for that? You find it the contextual menu of each folder.

Excellent
But back to my question. Is there a limit for how many mounts you can make?
