I have been using Synology DS415play and various moOde version since 2016.
SMB / samba has never worked - meaning the Synology SMB shared folder never shows up.
Up to moOde 4.4 I relied on NFS to connect to my NAS / music files. After v 4.4 NFS connection became a tedious and disappointing process. I have posted several times about this issue so I don't think it is necessary to go into all the details.
At the suggestion @TheOldPresbyope I expanded my horizons by learning how to create a SMB share on an extra RPI. Took sometime to figure because I had never done that from scratch. I bought a 2TB HDD and copied music files fron NAS to this drive. Had no issue seeing the SMB share on the external hdd. Music files can now be synched without all the mpdignore errors and I am running moOde 6.3. Next I plan to find some software that will back up the music files on the HDD to Synology NAS. Once all that is done I intend to hound Synology about what might be causing the mpdignore errors. Not holding my breadth up to now they just push it off to moOde and tell me they don't support 3rd party apps.
Anyone know of a good linux backup software?
Thank you Kent for the Pro Tip
