John, If you see the mount point on the 'Library' screen look like the attached and you can't click on the Network mounts and view your HD, you probably have a permissions problem. I'd suggest you set the user/name password when you mount the file system. I had to set the username/password to my mount point working.

Is somebody there to help me???

My hard drive is mounted and recognized as /dev/sda1 USB/ELEMENTS.

When I click "REBUILD MPD LIBRARY" the spinning wheel appears for a second and nothing happens.

I love Rune but I can't use it PLEASE HELP!! :? :?

@Surfninja

Sorry I did not see your answer because it jumped to page 2 :oops:

What do you mean with set username/password when mount the filesystem?
I can't find any options in Rune for setup userename/password
As I said before I was using Volumio and it scanned the harddrive with no problems.

Is there something I did not see perhaps?

My harddisk is properly mounted with a green sign as /dev/sda1

What am I doing wrong

Hi johnberg,

I tried the command with Putty: mpc update for manual update but get the prompt "connection failed"

So you know how to get to the console, right?
Please try to navigate to:
/mnt/MPD/USB/
and check if your hdd is mounted correctly
Code: Select all
cd /mnt/MPD/USB
ls

Also try to cd into the folders and check if you can see your music files.

What Raspberry do you have (RP1 or RP2/3)?
What is the filesystem on your hdd?

Hi Frank,

I use my old RPI 1 for only music.

My HDD is untouched, as far as I know formatted to ntfs

Before succesfully used with Volumio ;)

Hi johnberg,

and what about:
Also try to cd into the folders and check if you can see your music files.


Are there any none music files or folders containing none music files on your hdd.
If so, please try to remove them or create a file .mpdignore in the top level folder.

And yes i know it worked with volumio.

Hi Frank,

Yes there are also a lot of nonmusic files on my hdd.
Is coverart a problem .jpeg and .png? I don't hope so.
How do I create an .mpdignore file? Just rename a .txt file with no content?

I hope that the developer is also working on this problem and I hope that the next update will solve this issue. :D
I think I gonna try first now with some musicfiles on a simple usb-stick.

I also see now that I can't reach the hdd on Rune with the filebrowser on my Ipad (SMB).
Upnp and dlna is enabled.

I love Rune because it is putting the files in a Spotify playlist in the playlist of Rune itself. Volumio 1.55 is just playing the whole list and you can only listen everything or next - next - next........this is very boring.
I think Rune even can make a mix of Spotify and hdd tracks in the playlist.

How do I make a command in Putty to see the musicfikes on my hdd?

John, Frank provided some tidbits of info. if you click on the .mpdignore link, you should get an idea how the file is used.

while I don't have any problems with rune and my NAS, my guess you create this file and add lines describing the files you want to ignore.

*.doc
*.docx
*.xls
*.xlsx
*.ppt
*.asm
*.drw

My guess based on your questions, you will want to use nano (again google is your friend) text editor. I use vi or ed but don't recommend it for you.

@Surfninja,

Can you give me a simple step by step guide to add lines for ignoring files while using Nano text editor.
I am not Inux expert and even don't where to begin.

Can I also use Putty to add these lines?

I am wondering why NAS users have not problem at all with Rune when building the MPD library.
As I wrote before Volumio is working perfect with my harddisk and we should work on it that Rune can do the same, it is very essential! :shock:

Please any help is welcome :?
