Title: Idpi can't connect to my NAS
Post by: bmunroe on May 07, 2023, 07:56:35 am: My IdPi cannot connect to my NAS music volume.

Synology nas, works fine for other computers. In fact, I can mount my NAS music folder to other raspberry pi's running the linux version of MediaCenter.

I am going to 20 (external media menu), 10 (add) and then entering the following:
Path: //192.168.1.100/volume1/Music
Directory name: MusicNAS
<<path>> on a windows computer: N
Read-only or Read-Write: rw
access <<path>> as guest: y

At that point MC checks to see if it can access the NAS, and it returns with a failure

As I mentioned, I can mount this volume from other pi's without a problem, and it is also mounted in my network in windows explorer.

No can do. The question pops up again if left empty

I documented it in https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,133036.0.html (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,133036.0.html). Try checking the File names, Synology NAS, and Mounting media folders sections.
