External Drive - Can't write
bjurry:
Adding to previous post:
- I added new Network Drive via the External Media Menu on the Id: I assured read/write access, using the NAS' Admin credentials
- I noticed that when the Id ran a connection check when mounting the drive, it showed "CIFS" in the details
- I deleted the old Network Drive (although it is the same QNAP NAS)
Then I do the same changes in the File Location menu of MC (changng the default "/home/media/music/" to "/mnt/qnap/multimedia/") , and I get stil the same error message that "Audio file location cannot be read-only". I also can no longer play any audio file, as I get message that the file "does not exist"...
This is not fun... (certainly not with the Id running on Querty while all keyboards in Belgium are Azerty).

Don't change the default file location.
It should be /home/media/Music
All mounts are done with CIFS at this time.
Clear your library.
In the DIskmenu, delete your existing configuration and use option 14 on the diskmenu to remove unused mountpoints.
Re-add your NAS share. We recommend that it be read-only unless there is some reason you need to change file tags.
Add the share to the auto-import settings under Tools->Import->Configure Auto-Import
An update will be release shortly that will let you set the keyboard through option 17 on the main menu

Thanks Bob. I'll give it a try.
For my understanding: why do you recommend read-only? As I want to use the "Rename, Move, and Copy Files" function - which requires write access I expect.
Alternatively, I'm even more fine if I can use the "Rename, Move, and Copy Files" function from the Windows laptop, but here I'm struggling with the Library: the function does not work when I load the Libary on the Id server.
So I have now created a new local Library on my Windows laptop, hoping I can now edit file names/directories. But obviously it is not easy to maintain two different Libraries and keep them in sync... (I know MC offers a Library Sync option, but if I understand correctly, this copies files to the Windows laptop, which clearly is not what I want to do.

Bob, I followed instructions (except that I created a rw drive): it mounts; I can set AutoImport.. but when building the Library nothing happens: zero files are imported, while I also get no error message...
I can access the mount directly and play files using MC on the Id, so there certainly is no read access issue.

Adding: the UI of the Id sometimes become 'blurry' on the screen. It is never the whole UI, just where the files are displayed. I thought it was perhaps my screen of connection, but then the whole UI would have blurryness I assume. Also, when I minimize the MC window, and then bring up again, the UI is again sharp...
