[SlimDevices: Unix] Best HDD format for PiCore player and MacOS?
Hi, I recently switched from using Windows to MacOS and I've always run the HDD attached to the Pi, and an external backup HDD as exFAT Since moving to MacOS, I've learned the hard way that MacOS doesn't play nice with exFAT where the disc was formatted on Windows (which uses a default allocation size of 4096) - from what I can see, MacOS only supports allocation sizes up to 1024 I use GoodSync on MacOS to backup between the drive normally connected to the Pi and my backup drive btw So I guess I have two questions: 1. would changing to allocation size of 1024 have much impact on performance? (either in use on the Pi, playback, re-indexing etc, or when backing up) 2. is there a better format than exFAT that will work on both the Pi and MacOS (and ideally Windows too, just in case, but not a deal breaker) 3. Other options? (e.g. running Windows on my MacBook Air M1?) For reference, I have c6TB of music files (almost entirely FLAC) Any help or experience would be welcome - thank you in advance...

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Network drive / Samba issues with Mac OS
My main music folder has 1000s and 1000s of subfolders and is still basically unresponsive in Finder I've got myself up and running using FileZilla and SFTP to connect to the Samba share and transfer files But it's still not a really good alternative to having the Samba share mounted in Finder I found this article https://medium.com/@augusteo/fixing-slow-macos-finder-connection-to-linux-samba-server-ed7e5ea784c1 which gives some info on how to improve Samba response when connecting using a MacBook It suggests inserting the following into the smb.conf file: Code: vfs objects = fruit fruit:aapl = yes fruit:encoding = native fruit:locking = none fruit:metadata = stream fruit:resource = file Is anyone able to comment as to whether or not these changes will help? After some rummaging, I found the smb.conf file here: /usr/local/etc/samba However, I can't edit changes (using vi) because it's marked as readonly (ls -l shows "-rw-r--r--" as the permissions) Is this just because Samba is running, and if so would it be as simple as stopping Samba, editing the file, restarting Samba again?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Network drive / Samba issues with Mac OS
Having spent many hours reading and fiddling, I decided to give up - basically it seems that MacBooks just don't play nice with Samba Especially when you have a lot of data/large folders (as I do) However, I did then look at using SFTP (basically FTP over SSH) and this works a treat! I can connect, browse, manage files etc using apps like FileZilla I'm also looking at Forklift (a paid for alternative to Finder that can also connect directly, i.e. a mapped drive, to SFTP) It does appear that Finder should also be able to connect/map a drive using SFTP (although it uses ftps:// for some reason), but I've not been able to get that working as yet So it appears that the solution is to ignore using smb:// to connect, and instead use sftp:// PugRallye's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17668 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115491 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
[SlimDevices: Unix] Network drive / Samba issues with Mac OS
Hi, I've just switched from a Windows laptop to a MacBook Air (M1) And immediately run into some issues with MacOS and Samba I have a rather large music library (c8TB) on an external HDD attached to a Pi4 LMS server This has never been an issue on Windows (browsing, searching/sorting, copying/deleting files etc) - but it's basically impossible on MacOS I've read all sorts of things online, but nothing having any impact as yet. I wondered if anyone on the forum who's using a Mac has a good solution to this? Many thanks...

Hi all, For some reason I was having some permissions problems with my NTFS formatted external drive, so I backed up, reformatted it as exFAT and copied all the files back again. When I go into LMS, it's not showing me any external/attached disks that I can mount.

I've triple checked the disk is OK on my laptop (it connects fine, I can see all the files etc) This is all I see though... 31001 +---+ |Filename: Annotation 2020-07-12 110508.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=31001| +---+ PugRallye's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17668 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111787 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Hi, If I use a network/SAMBA connection to the Pi, then I can copy files across just fine and LMS can see and index, play them just fine.

When I reconnected and started the pCP up again, I had to remove the re-mount the disc. I have a SAMBA share and can see all the newly added files on the attached disc. But when I run a scan (either full or partial) the LMS doesn't find or index any of the newly added files. The disc is a single NTFS partition and was properly unmounted from my Windows laptop before being reconnected to the Pi4 I figure it may be a permissions issue, but I'm not sure how to resolve.

Hi all, Apologies if this is user error/dumb question, but I'm trying to figure out how I can get pCP to automatically refresh the USB mount when it starts. I've noticed that if I reboot the Pi (it's a Pi4 that I'm using as a LMS server) and then try to play music, it starts to screw up the music DB - i.e. files that are on the disc seem to disappear from the LMS library/can't be played etc. This results in me having to do a full rescan (remove and add everything) in order to correct things. I take this to be because the ID/information about the mount point has changed on reboot? If so, can I get pCP to refresh this automatically on restart? Thank you...

Just wondering... Is there any way to make the HDD that's attached to the Pi visible on the network? i.e. when using a NAS as the LMS server, I can easily add new music to it wirelessly across the network. Is there any way to do that using PCP? Otherwise I'd need some form of direct connection to the HDD in order to add new music.

I connected a recent backup to the Pi now - it's a 4TB WD red (7200rpm) drive that contains about 130,000 FLAC files. Complete, initial scan took just over 1hr - I could have saved 5 mins by pointing to an empty "Playlists" folder instead of using the main FLACs folder (i.e. it rescanned the whole library looking for playlists - when I don't have any!) Performance from the Pi is still really snappy. With just LMS installed, no extras etc, PCP looks like it's using about 560MB of the 2GB partition I created for it. Without having added/changed any files, a incremental rescan (new/changed files) takes about 11 mins (2 mins of that was scanning the whole library for playlists again though) PugRallye's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17668 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110727 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Update: it seems that it's once LMS has done it's full scan that everything stops working. The library is only about 8000 MP3s, I'm sure that's not "too much" for the Pi4 to handle? (I hope not - my eventual plan is to give it the full, c130k track library to manage) But having run the initial full scan, when I click on (say) "Albums" on the main LMS page, that's when everything hangs/stops working.

Hi,
I just got a Pi 4 with a view to using it as the server (thanks to it's
much improved processor, RAM, and better I/O - I found the same as you
though, that PiCorePlayer isn't compatible ("yet", I hope).
My aim is to move away from using a NAS to host the server, and use a Pi
with a (big!) disk attached via USB 3.
Looking forward to seeing PiCorePlayer that's compatible with a Pi 4...

[SlimDevices: Unix] Starting Squeezecenter automatically in Ubuntu
I'm pretty new to this Linux lark and am looking at Ubuntu 8.04. I've got it all setup and scanning my music (had some issues with permissions that were sorted by editing the fstab file). However, everytime I start Ubuntu, I have to go into the /etc/init.d folder and run the squeezecenter file. But is there a way to have it start automatically? And preferably have it start without the need for me to actually log in to Ubuntu? Thanks for the help... -- PugRallye PugRallye's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17668 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49152 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
