I don't know if it's possible to point pCP at a drive connected to your PC, I don't advise it, It defeats the object, you may just as well install LMS on your PC! Make sure the drive is connected to the Pi before you boot it. You can name the drive whatever you wish in pCP, it's just an identifier. Can you post screenshots of your *pCP samba* and *Pick from the following detected USB disks to mount* setups? *LMS server/study player - LMS 8.3.0 *Pi4B 4GB/NanoSound ONE case/pCP 8.1.0 - 75K library, playlists & LMS cache on Sata SSD (ntfs) *Lounge* - Pi2/pCP 8.1.0 > HiFiBerry DIGI+ > Topping E30 > AVI DM5 *Dining Room* - Echo Show 8 *Garage* - Squeezebox Touch > Edifier *Spares* - 1xSB Radio, 1xSB3, 4xRPi, 1xDAC32, 1xCORE32 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115511 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
