Google play music streaming and NAS mount problems

goldenyears

Is google play music streaming compatible with runeaudio?

I'm having trouble mounting music folder from my windows 7 laptop and have read another post from another user with the same problem but can't figure out a solution. What are the steps I need to take?

Thanks,

Al

p.s. Sorry but this is all new to me

Hi Al,

p.s. Sorry but this is all new to me

This is not the problem. The problem is, that we do not know anything about your troubles!

- have you already shared your music library on your windows pc? (sharing on Windows 7)
- what is the name of your shared folder?
- have you gained access for everyone or only for specific users?
- do you know the IP address from your windows pc?
- what is the error message you get on rune audio?

Hi Frank,

Sorry for the complete lack of information! I've followed the instructions on sharing on windows 7 and shared the folder 'Music' with my homegroup.

When creating the NAS mount I'm using the following info:

Sourcename: Al Music
SMB/CIFS
IP: I used google to bring up my laptop's IP
Remote directory: Music
Guest access: ON
Advanced options: OFF

I'm getting the following error:

mount error(115): Operation now in progress Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Hi goldenyears,

Google knows many things, but your laptop's IP?

Open a command window on your laptop and enter "ipconfig"

C:\Users\frank>ipconfig

I am now getting the following error after updating the IP address:

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

Al, I'd try to mount your Windows 7 share from another computer.

I too have a share named 'Music' that I mount on my RuneAudio

The mount looks like:

//192.168.1.102/Music

Your IP address will probably be different. Also, I had to set the username and password for my remote share since I didn't make the share wide open.

Thanks for your message, that's what my mount looks like (with my IP).

Hi Al,

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

The error message tells you what is wrong!
You have a permission error. Turn guest access off and enter your user and password.
Or make your share accessible for everyone, but this is not easy to do on windows.
Please search the web for this (google).

Most time the Guest account is useless, it is on my Windows 7 system. I had to use my Windows 7 login user name and password details to access the share on my system, it has Administrator control. Guest would not work.

Edit: So you could also create an account on Windows that has Administrator control, but DO NOT make the Guest account part of the Administrator group, there's lies the path of destruction.

I've managed to mount the NAS - Thanks to all who helped. I initially found that there was an audible crackling sound and slowing down at times when playing music from the shared folder - I restarted runeaudio and it seems to be fine so far.

So my next step is to try and get Google play music running on runeaudio - is it possible?

Thanks,

Al

If you manage to find out how to stream Google play to a UPnP device, then yes, it is possible. UPnP can be enabled in the UI, and then you can select Rune Audio to be the device that you are streaming the music to.

Hi goldenyears,

It would be great to know what the problem / solution was.
Maybe it helps others to get their music libraries mounted.

Hi Frank,

Sorry for the late reply. I set my 'Music' folder to be shared with everyone without password protection and kept the following details the same:

Sourcename: Al Music
SMB/CIFS
IP: I ran the ipconfig command to bring up my laptop's IP
Remote directory: Music
Guest access: ON
Advanced options: OFF

Thanks,

Al
