Is automounted SMB share needed for MC to access media

(1/3) > >>

pepar:
I have my media stored on an unRAID server and have an Intel NUC running Debian 10 and MediaCenter to serve as my MC Media Server. I can access the shared folder from the Debian 10 desktop with no problems. But I am not able to automount the darn share. If I need to, I will dig deeper into the problem but before I do that I thought I'd ask if it's necessary.

Does the SMB share need to be mounted MC to access it?

Zhillsguy:
With my limited Linux experience, yes.

I usually set up my win 10 share to mount in the home/user/Music folder at boot.

However, if you can browse in Tools/Import/Configure Auto-Import to where the media files are, I assume you could use it.

BryanC:
Automounted? No. Mounted? Yes.

Are you having issues mounting it manually?


--- Code: ---mount -t cifs -o username=user_name //server_name/share_name /mnt/
--- End code ---

pepar:
No problem mounting manually, but can’t get it to auto mount. Am using Buster so I have seen that an additional systemd option must be used in fstab. It must be my syntax. Every blog/forum/tutorial assumes more Linux fu than I possess.

I want to automount to make it headless ..

I expect you will need to auto mount to run headless.
As an aside I am not running headless and neither mount or auto mount my drive. However I do have to open my drive in the desktop file manager of buster so that MC can see the drive.  I suppose this technically is a mount, however once opened via the file manager I can use my drive from its networked location  for my library in MC.
I have not been successful in auto mounting my network drive. I think you are on the right path with using systemd.
