Problem mounting Synology NAS - Roberto_A - 12-13-2022

Sorry for my bad English!

I have a problem with Moode mounting my Synology NAS (Samba mode). My Moode is unable to auto-mount the library location of the NAS but I need:
1) manually create the directory at the location /mnt/NAS (Synology directory) and then
2) mount the NAS (using mount -t cifs IP_ADDRESS etc.).

If I then click on the RE-MOUNT button, the directory just created is deleted and there is no other way to remount the NAS other than manually acting as a terminal, rebuilding the directory and remounting the position.
Same problem if I turn off Moode.
Right now I'm using the 64-bit version.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

To troubleshoot:

1. Open System Config and turn on Debug logging.
2. Reboot
3. Post the startup log using the command below

Code:
moodeutl -l

I also try with IP address instead of MyNAS name.
I tried to edit the fstab file without success, due to missing directory (I think).

Thank you for all

@Roberto_A

Hi, Roberto.

[First, if you start hand-editing system files then we have no way of knowing what state your player is in.]

The symptom you describe suggests your LAN doesn't have a local DNS resolver on it.

Using the built-in SSH Terminal or SSH'ing from another computer, see how the Synology NAS can be "found".

Code:
ping MyNAS
ping MyNAS.local
ping <IP adddress MyNAS>


Here, for example, is the output when I search for my virtual Synology NAS with hostname DS3615xs

Code:
pi@m823p2b:~ $ ping -c1 DS3615xs
ping: DS3615xs: Name or service not known
pi@m823p2b:~ $ ping -c1 DS3615xs.local
PING DS3615xs.local (10.0.0.223) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from DS3615xs.local (10.0.0.223): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=9.00 ms

--- DS3615xs.local ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 9.001/9.001/9.001/0.000 ms
pi@m823p2b:~ $ ping -c1 10.0.0.56
PING 10.0.0.56 (10.0.0.56) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.0.0.56: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=10.5 ms

--- 10.0.0.56 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 10.491/10.491/10.491/0.000 ms

The raw hostname doesn't work because there's no local DNS resolver on my LAN; only the ISP-provided DNS and mDNS.

If I use moOde's SCAN function, it returns all the shares on the Synology NAS including "DS3615xs/Music". Unfortunately, moOde finds advertised shares via mDNS but doesn't return them with a fully qualified mDNS name. [I keep meaning to make this an issue on the moOde github repo.]

This means, in my case, that I have to enter the Music source path manually with either "DS3615xs/Music" "DS3615xs.local/Music"or "10.0.0.56/Music". This setting works fine and persists over reboots.

An alternative with current moOde would be to edit /etc/hosts to add "DS3615xs 10.0.0.56" but this is a hack unsuited for an appliance player.

Regards,
Kent

RE: Problem mounting Synology NAS - Roberto_A - 12-13-2022

Thanks so much Kent

I'll keep your advice in mind but the changes I made to the FSTAB file were immediately undone.
Ping MyNAS returns "Name or service not known" as expected while pinging the IP address (192.168.1.15) transmits the packet.
In recent days I had already tried with the IP address directly in the "Music Source" section without success. I have now used the IP address and restarted Moode and the application seems to work. Then I check its operation for a few days.
If so, I apologize for the pointlessness of reporting.

RE: Problem mounting Synology NAS - the_bertrum - 12-13-2022

On my network, I can only ever get to my Synology NAS with <NAS_host>.local, try MyNAS.local if you don't like to use the IP. That works for me every time from the moOde UI.

RE: Problem mounting Synology NAS - Roberto_A - 12-13-2022

Thanks but I try with MyNAS.local and it doesn't work.
Now, with the IP address, the NAS is recognized correctly.

Thank you all
