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

My main music folder has 1000s and 1000s of subfolders and is still
basically unresponsive in Finder

the Samba share and transfer files

However, I did then look at using SFTP (basically FTP over SSH) and this
works a treat!

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.

Hi,
If I use a network/SAMBA connection to the Pi, then I can copy files

Sounds like exactly what I did (powered down
And when reconnecting the drive to the Pi (which I'd powered down), is
there a "right" order in which to connect and power on?
e.g. should I connect the disc, then power on the Pi, then the disc?
Or power on the disc, then the Pi?
Or does it not make any difference?! :)

It was Windows 10 (and I was sure to properly unmount the disc before
disconnecting it from the laptop)
Thanks for the help/feedback...
I too had to extend the USB wait value (as my disc was slow to be
recognised)
No idea what's happened here then (with these missing file
permissions).
I have some more music I need to transfer tomorrow, so I'll give it
another go and see what happens...
I think my external drive is NTFS - I wonder if that's causing the
permissions issues?
Maybe I should use exFAT?
Or would EXT4 be better?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated...

Can I ask, do you write to this disc

Copying GBs of FLAC files via wifi is rather tedious (when a USB3
connection does it at about 200MB/s) :)
Plus I'll want to disconnect the drive from the Pi for backup
Hi all,
A curious problem
I shut down my Pi4 pCP server, disconnected the USB3 attached drive,
connected the drive to my laptop and then copied a bunch more music
files onto the drive.
When I reconnected and started the pCP up again, I had to remove the
re-mount the disc.

Hi all,
I'm using LMS 7.9.2 on a Pi4 with an attached USB3 disc and streaming to
the SqueezePad app on an iPad.
SP always handled gapless fine (when using an older version of LMS
running on a QNAP NAS), and iPeng seems to handle it fine on the same
iPad (running from the Pi4).
Just wondered

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

Thanks - I'm such a noob! Didn't really know what Samba was!

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

Oh I'm sure - SSDs just fly...
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

You're a star!
That's exactly what it was.
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

I have no idea what happened. It was a 1TB 3.5" disk from an old NAS
that was sat in a USB3 dock thing, one of these:
Not quite sure what's happened here, but any help welcomed.
Got piCorePlayer up and running on my RPi4, installed LMS and created a
mount to an external USB disk
Went into LMS and got it to do a scan
It found c350 folder, but no MP3s
Tried various different things (reboots etc) and then PCP

Looks like cooling of the Pi 4 is known and there could be a fix in an
updated firmware:

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...
