NAS network mount

Hi fuddyduddy,

I'd also check the version of SMB that your NAS is using - I had comparable problems in the past that I traced to this. The 'official' v0.3 build is quite fussy, and needs to be able to use SMB1 in order to work correctly. Janui & Gearhead's v.05 beta is more forgiving of recent SMB versions.

You mention that your NAS is a Synology model. The relevant settings in Synology DSM are as follows:

Control Panel > File Services > SMB/AFP/NFS > SMB: 'Advanced' button > set 'Maximum SMB protocol' to SMB3, and 'Minimum SMB protocol' to either SMB1 if you're still on the official Rune v0.3 or SMB2 if you're on v0.5 beta.

I hope this helps.

Peace and friendship,
englishtim

Hi Janui and englishtim

I feel obligated to respond, not least because not to do so would be churlish considering you took the trouble of offering a helping hand.

Sadly, I can't avail myself of it. My disenchantment with MPD, and with Rune, is irrespective of the hardware. The fact is that mine isn't a Raspberry Pi but an Odroid C1+

It's probably (definitely?) the case that you Pi Rune users are uniquely blessed in the support you're able to draw upon from within your very extensive community. The Odroid community is an active one too but its focus is pretty-well anywhere other than audio.

Me I'm interested only in audio, am illiterate/dyslexic in Linux, and just want my Odroid SBC to perform a single function - to be a media player - but to perform it well. And using Rune I can't get it to do even that one thing.

(Concerning SMB:- I don't know but it could well be that Rune for Odroid is no less fussy about using SMB v1. I checked and found that it was deactivated on my PC so (as suggested) I activated it. However It didn't help I'm afraid).

Just daydreaming ...

IF I were a Linux geek (that'd be the day!) it would be child's play for me - wouldn't It? - to configure my Rune network mounts from the command-line instead of via Rune's gui. I would know every nuance of the syntax of whatever command(s) was/were needed to do that.

So, just suppose there's a Good Samaritan out there somewhere (who's as much of a geek as necessary for the purpose) willing to spell-out for me what that code would be, all that idiot-me would have to do would be to cut-and-paste it into a PuTTY terminal window. A beguiling thought indeed...

(For information just in case, my music library on my Windows 10 server PC is currently contained in the Microsoft-provided folder 'My documents', sub-folder 'Music' (which Windows at installation places in the 'Users' folder on the system drive but which I always move to and keep on another physical drive, in my case in a folder with file path [*:\Robert\My Music] and Network Path [\\DESKTOP8\My Music]. All my attempts to mount a directory using either that file path or network path via the Rune gui's 'NAS Mounts' page have failed - usually with error 22 (which I have no inkling how to handle).
