Yesterday I made the horrible mistake of updating PERL on my Synology NAS 218+ which broke my Squeezebox (actually PicorePlayer on a Raspberry Pi 2). I have about a 750 GB of music files on the NAS. The RPi is connected to my stereo receiver. (The RPi is equipped with a small LCD screen, so that I can display RU meters while music is playing.)
Anyway I spent all day yesterday trying to point my PicorePlayer to the NAS, but I get different errors, depending on the settings. Sometimes when PicorePlayer is booting up, I get cannot mount . . . read-only errors, sometimes I get you might need a sbin/mount type helper program. Before I start this process again, Im hoping to get some clarification on what Im actually trying to do. For simplicity of terms, when I refer to the RPi, Im really talking about PicorePlayer on the RPi. Also, if this matters, my NAS is connected to our internet directly via ethernet. My RPi connects to the NAS via WiFi. Also, I have consulted this web site numerous times. https://docs.picoreplayer.org/how-to/add_network_share/ - Apparently I can still install LMS on the NAS if I use something called Docker. But then I would still have to figure out how to stream music to the RPi, which is connected to my stereo. (Possibly this is how it was working before I messed everything up.) Should I install LMS on the NAS -and- on the RPi? Or just on the NAS? - Another question that comes up is do I need PERL on the NAS at all? Its currently not installed, as I was trying to downgrade to older version of PERL so I could get things back the way they were. This was unsuccessful because the older version of PERL would not install on the NAS due to compatibility with DSM. - Or do you recommend installing LMS on the RPi and just continue trying to figure out how to point it to the music files on my NAS? If LMS on the RPi is my goal, then I have some questions about Mount Point settings in the LMS web interface. Go with NFS or CIFS? And what the hell do I put for Share Name and User? Ive read a lot of things about this and Im still not sure what to use for these settings. I can provide screenshots of anything if it helps. Thank you guys in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ghulse's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13636 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116261
