Cannot mount my PC's hard drive

cordobaman

Hello and Help please. Apologies ahead of time for being so new at this. Seems I've tried every combo to try and mount my Pi to my PC's hard drive.

I am attempting to use a RPi2 to stream music off my PC's hard drive under WIN10. Everything is ethernet connected and the hard drive is shared in Windows.

For Network mounts I've tried
Source Name: Music
Fileshare protocol: SMB/CIFS
IP address: Inspiron-pc and also 192.168.1.28
Remote directory: m (the hard drive's letter) and m/music

I get
"mount error(13): Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)"

Any ideas please!

I did this and now my hard drive is mounted.
For the first, go to the drive and then go to Properties>Sharing>Advanced Sharing>Permission and on the "EVERYONE" group/user assign all the permissions. If everyone is not listed, then add them to the list.

For the second go to Properties>Security>Edit>Add and add "EVERYONE". Then assign all the permission you want to "EVERYONE".

Now I can see a network mount when I Browse Library...still not getting anything to show up
Empty queue, add some music! Click, select the network mount, but No Joy

Any help here?

Hi cordobaman,

you have to share a folder first and then use the public name of this folder as "Remote directory".
Please search the web for a how to on this subject.
Maybe this will help

After this you have to wait until mpd has scanned your music library.

Making some progress. I have my PC hard drive mounted, the library is loaded,

I have music playing on the screen...but no output from my PiFi DAC+ (IS2 DAC).

Searching led me to a post that mentions "My I2S DAC (P1F1 DAC+ v2.0) works perfectly with RuneAudio release version: 0.4 (build: beta-20141216) with the audio output setting as HiFiBerry DAC+ (I2S). The sound is astonishing and better than most of USBDAC interface.", but I do not see any option to choose an audio output setting other than HDMI or analog.

Anyone have some tips for this problem?

Seaching for the problem helps...one step at a time. I removed the # in the config file and was able to choose Hifiberry DAC on the MPD screen...yea! However I still have no sound output. Darn it! What's my next step?

I guess if one keeps trying...never die...it's comes together. If anyone else is configuring a PiFi DAC+ you'll want to choose the Hifiberry DAC+ configuration to get everything to work. Sound pretty dern good about now.

Thanks Frank...for this post and others on a similar subject.
