Using Raspberry Pi 3 as audio front-end

<< < (3/3)

JimH:
One Master License will work with several Windows and Linux machines.

Grayson54:
Done all this.  Have MC23 installed on my Pi3. Cannot see the music files.

How do I direct the Pi3 system to see my music files where they are located on a Windows 10 machine (I have a dedicated music server)?

Ideally, I would like to use the music library already established on my main Win10 music server. And have the MC23/Pi3 act only as a “front-end”.  I would like to access the MC23/Pi3 from that room using JRemote on my iPad or iPhone.  Is that possible?

Zhillsguy:
This is a general linux question, not directly related to MC.

You can't just "browse" to the network share with the pi out-of-the-box. Your network share will need to be "mounted" at boot by the pi. Folks get it done in different ways. Do a search on the pi forums for "mount network share" or start a new thread here for help. I've certainly had my share of trials and tribulations with the basic linux learning curve. Once you find a method that works for you it can be duplicated across similar Debian based distros. Here are related threads:

The text menu of the Id has a section for external drives.  NAS drives included.

The Id instructions link to External or NAS instructions.

If your windows machine has JRiver installed you can create a (new) library on the PI instance of JRiver that points to the Windows JRiver instance. I find using (JRiver) native client/server configuration a lot easier than setting up shares etc.
