I've seen another thread regarding music on a NAS box, but in my case the music is on a USB hard drive. I'm starting a new thread on the assumption that I have a different problem, my apologies if this turns out to be untrue... I've just successfully installed Slimserver on my second day of Ubuntu usage so I was on a roll until this little problem.
The external drive is visible as SEA_DISC, and appears to be mounted in the media path. If I use terminal I can change directory to /media/SEA_DISC/Music/Flac and MP3 and I can list the music folders in that path. Likewise if I open the file system browser I can open music and play it. This leads me to think that the drive is mounted correctly. I have also changed the permissions on the music folders so that everybody and their dog can read and write the files. However, in the Slimserver pages I cannot use that path as the location of the music - I get an error stating that the path given is not valid. Even cutting and pasting the exact path from the terminal session doesn't help, so I suspect that this is a permissions issue. What do I need to do to make the path valid from the point of view of Slimserver ? -- karma mechanic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ karma mechanic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8868 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40563 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
