Late to the party here as usual and a novice at RPi and Debian, but a couple of questions on what seems to be a very straightforward set of instructions, thanks very much for putting this together.
I basically just want my RPi 4 to enable me to use a non-DLNA amp as a DLNA node (a JRiver zone). There will be no local media. So:
1. I'm confused by this:
"It preferable to add the same account to the external storage (like NAS) to access the media files.
Code: [Select]
username=<username to access the remote storage>
password=<password for remote storage>"
In a use case like mine, does this refer to the username/password for the JRiver media server?
2. If I'm using JRiver media server, do I need to follow the fstab instructions? If so, does this instruction apply: "Change vers=3.0 to the SMB version supported by your NAS"? I tried specifying the IP of my media server and all other options as in your example, but got an invalid parameter error. This is my entry:
\\xxx.xxx.x.xxx /mnt/music cifs credentials=/home/pi/.credentials,nofail,vers=3.0,x-systemd.automount,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000
2. Do I need to buy a license for the Linux version or can I run it in trial mode the way I can Windows, to make sure this is a workable option? If there is a trial mode, do I need a JMR file?
3. I followed all the instructions (with the exceptions noted above) and I see a JRiver Media Center icon under "Sound & Video" as described in the instructions, but when I try to start JRiver I get two black "Information" dialog boxes with only an OK button. This may be related to omitting the steps above, but FYI in case that tells you anything.
Thanks again.
