Solved: Problem mounting Synology NAS
#4
@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
