NAS problem

[TheOldPresbyope]

and you have used Menu>Update Library ?

Hi, yes I've updated the library everytime I have added a folder. I will try using the IP address idea tonight and then a clean install of moode if it doesnt work. I don't think the problem is with openmediavault as the folders are showing up on other devices no problem.

If in the Library Config panel you have the green checkmark alongside the share/server names then the server was found using the hostname.

For proof, you could try this from the command line:

Code:

mount | grep '^/'

For example, on one of my players:

Code:

pi@moodeLR:~ $ mount | grep '^/'
/dev/mmcblk0p2 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime)
/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /boot type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/sda1 on /media/MUSIC type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks)
//Omv-hc1.local/music on /mnt/NAS/OMV-MUSIC type cifs (ro,relatime,vers=3.1.1,cache=strict,username=guest,uid=0,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.4.12,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,soft,nounix,serverino,mapposix,rsize=61440,wsize=65536,bsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1)

The first two entries are my uSD system card, the third is a local USB drive and the last is my OpenMediaVault SMB share. Post your result.

As a further check, you could check that the directories on the NAS are visible---substituting your real mount point for /mnt/NAS/<whatever>---by running the following from the command line:

Code:

ls -la /mnt/NAS/<whatever>

Post your result.

I've already suggested a command line query to MPD which summarizes its database contents. The same information is shown under the moOde icon in the Library Tag view.

You can also look at the MPD log (/var/log/mpd/log) to see its progress in scanning for music files in the directories it finds. You should do this right after you've created the music source and updated the library. You should see entries like:

Code:

pi@moodeLR:~ $ cat /var/log/mpd/log
...<cut out unrelated cruft>...
Apr 15 09:21 : update: added SDCARD/eusii/YUNGBLUD - it's quiet in beverly hills (Official Audio) (152kbit_Opus).ogg
Apr 15 09:21 : update: added SDCARD/eusii/YUNGBLUD - ice cream man (Official Audio) (128kbit_AAC).m4a

where I had just added two test files sent by another user.
