I set up a Pi4/4GB with pCP 6.1.0 Standard Version. Working my way through nowhinjing's how-to. To resize the file system it says go to Main page > *Advanced Mode Operations*, this is now *Additional Functions* in the more recent UI. Why resize to a mere 1000MB? and a *Danger* "If you have a large library select Use 2000 MB or Whole SD card. *In my opinion* 2000MB should be the absolute minimum, I use the whole card if it's a 8 or 16 GB card. Installed LMS then on to set up SAMBA. As Redrum points out in his post above, if you don't enter anything in the Server Workgroup, when you click the "Set Shares" button you get a pop-up to tell you to "fill out this field", and cannot proceed unless you enter something. @nowhinjing makes no mention of a "Workgroup" anywhere in his how-to, so we can only assume that the need to enter anything in that field came with a pCP version change? If you take the trouble to find your Windows workgroup name and enter that (mine's WORKGROUP), then your pCP will appear under "Network" in Windows/File Explorer. I named mine NickyNook in pCP. 32635 32637 If you enter anything else other than your Windows workgroup name (I entered MARTINMACBULGEPIKE), then your pCP *will not* appear under "Network" in Windows/File Explorer. 32638 But you can still follow nowhinjin's instruction to "Add a network location", and then be able to access the attached USB drive/stick using Windows/File Explorer. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Martin.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=32638| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ *Server - LMS 8.1.0 *Pi4B 4GB/Flirc case/pCP v7.0.0b6 - 74K library, playlists & LMS cache on SSD (ntfs) *Study -* Pi3B/pCP 7.0.0b6/pi screen/Allo Boss DAC Ruark MR1 Mk2 *Lounge* - Pi2/pCP 6.0.0 > HiFiBerry DIGI+ > AudioEngine DAC1 > AVI DM5 *Garage* - Squeezebox Boom + Fostex sub *Dining Room* - Pi3B/Bluetooth/Echo Show 8 *Spares* - 2xTouch, 1xSB Radio. 1xSB3, 6xRPi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112996
