I'm very sorry for the following questions. I consider myself decently computer literate (but no experience with Linux) - but I'm stumped. I just purchased a Nuc Id from JRiver. I'm into the program and I have no idea how to point the Nuc (running Linux) to my windows 7 music files. I have it directly connected via ethernet. I just don't see where the options are.
Also - on other problem that is making it hard to navigate around. I have 55" tv screen and some of the text are slightly off the screen and I can't move the windows. Also, when I put it in Theater mode just to see what it looked like I noticed some of the tabs at the top of the screen were off the top of the screen as well and I had a hard time making out what they were.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated - thanks (and thanks for your patience).

You need to tell the Id to mount the drive.

Then you need to set MC auto-import options. It's under the Tools menu in MC.
-
Thanks for trying to help but I'm not seeing anything on that wiki about "mounting". Are they using a different term?
Also, any idea about why some buttons/windows/words are slightly off my TV screen so I'm not able to read them?
Thanks
-
Some menus are enough off my TV screen I can't even read them....and it won't let me move the window...
-
There is a section called "NAS Drives and USB Drives".
Try rebooting. Your screen resolution may be off.
-
I've tried rebooting - no luck (still words off the screen).
I've found the External Media Menu - is this where I need to be?
I've tried entering the info every which way with no luck
//Computer name/folder/folder that is my network path (where I have specific names for the computer name and folders)
I don't know what else to do?
-
ok - got "success" when entering the network info. Now how to find the mount in MC and import my music?
Thanks for sticking with me.
-
Completely stuck. Been working on this for hours and have no idea where to go after the "success" I got in the External Media Menu.
Where do I find the drive that was mounted? Can't find this info on any search or wiki.
Tried auto import and it shows no files.
In External Media Menu it says I have a mounted share at /mnt/myshare. How do I get MC to import it?
Thanks
-
In MC, try setting Auto-Import now. Tools > Import ...
When asked for the location of a folder to watch, browse to the device.
-
When I try to edit the folders to watch it throws a new window in the upper left corner of the screen which is impossible to read because it is off the screen just enough that I can't make out the options (and I can't move the window). However, from what I can see I don't think I see my mount called myshare.

You should check your TV's menus for an "overscan" option and disable it.
It may be in the picture size or aspect ratio options.
-
More problems....I gave up on finding my music and started using another server I have set up. It's playing but no sound.....nuc to Marantz via hdmi (video but no audio). All the other things I've got connected to the receiver work fine and I know the hdmi cord is fine.

Thanks for the tip - that did it. I've never noticed it before in 10 years owning the tv:)

Finally making progress - found my shares and currently importing.
But still one huge problem - still no sound.
It must be some setting in MC. Receiver is working in every other way with different inputs...
-
Finally got some sound. The device wasn't hdmi for some reason.
