Raspberry pi b+ and Nas synology = empty library ?

kolo

Hello,

I'm sorry in advance for my bad level of English but it's not my mother tongue.
So i will try to explain my problem the best i could.

I have got a Nas synology Ds214 play, a dac mydac and a raspberry pi model b+.
On which one, runeaudio is installed.
i can play music from a usb stick without problem.
i have made a network mount (in nfs) and it seems to be fine until this point.

But i have an empty library when i go to library page (as you can see in attachments).
i have try a lot of things (configurations) but nothing changed.
have you got an idea to help me ?
thank you.

this is my debug info : http://pastebin.com/SDKG6bjv[PHPBBATTACHBOX]

Hi kolo,

welcome to RuneAudio.

This looks like an permission problem.
Try to change the daemon user group to root:root in the mpd settings (MENU->MPD).
You also can try to add a user "mpd" to your synology configuration.

hi hondagx35, thanks for your help.

i have changed the daemon user group but i have a connecting "spinning wheel" loop (as you can see in attachement).
it doesn't stop :s
is it normal ? what can i do to stop it ?

For the synology, i can add an user but i must specify a password.
And i know that i can't put a login and password if i selected NFS for the fileshare protocol in "source page".

Hi kolo,

sorry i did not recognize that you have a RP1.
Please try to ssh to your device and reboot.
I have no RP1 available at the moment, so i can not test changing the daemon group.

Connexion to the pi with ssh = > ok but i don't know how changing the daemon group with command line (noob inside).
i found this link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Music_Player_Daemon/Troubleshooting
i have changed in /etc/mpd.conf the value of group : "audio" to "root"
And i have restarted mpd with :
systemctl stop mpd
systemctl start mpd

But it doesn't work, i have certainly forgot something.

However i have noticed this :
In the repertory /mnt/MPD/NAS/Synology
i can find all my files and repertories with the command "dir" or "ls"
but still nothing in the library (runeaudio webpage)

i found this link too : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=171834
i will try tomorrow to test this last link

Do you have ideas or advices ...

try changing the remote directory from "/volume1/music/" to "volume1/music"

kolo

rav666, i have already try but it's the same.

i have also tested :

- usermod -g root mpd (see the first attachment : info1.png)

- remove the line "group "mpd"" in /etc/mpd.conf (see this link https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=171834)

But nothing work for me :s
i m pretty sure that's certainly nothing, maybe a permision or something like that but what ?

I don't understand why i can retrieve my file like this :
cd /mnt/MPD/NAS/Synology
ls (or dir)

see the second attachment (info2.png)

You are not alone, if thats help

RASPBERRY PI (MODEL B+)
Release: v0.3-beta (29/10/2014)
Mcintosh C50 (USB 2.0 DAC)
Synology DS214play, NAS

An issue with the empty library here as well.

PS. I have test it uby using a small USB drive and few FLAC albums... it works like a charm!

Go for AURALiC Aries MINI it works like a charm on the same network.

I have this problem too on my Raspberry Pi 3 (model b). I have tried everything suggested in numerous threads on both this forum and Volumio's but to no avail (tried Volumio first but couldn't get past this issue so now trying Runeaudio).

I have a Synology Diskstation DS414 and am trying to mount a single shared folder using NFS in the latest version of Runeaudio on a Raspberry Pi 3 (model B) currently on LAN but with WiFi working. I get the green tick to say the folder is mounted, but nothing appears in the library under NAS.

On the Diskstation I have enabled NFS (but not NFSv4) and created a shared folder with a few MP3's inside to test with. I've given both guest and an account I've made called MPD read/write privileges and tried subbing that info in to the user/password dialogue when adding cifs/smb share in Runeaudio and then swapping back to NFS, which probably does nothing - but like I say I've tried everything!

In NFS permissions I've set the hostname/ip using a wildcard meaning any computer on the network should be able to access this share (i.e. 192.168.4.*) changed squash settings to "map all users to admin" and ticked every box to make the share more lenient.

On the Raspberry Pi, I've changed the "Daemon user: group" to "root : root" and tried putting a "/" before the share path but nothing doing.

I'm at a loss gentlemen - could really use some help!

Let me know if screenshots would be useful for diagnoses.

I just moved my NAS to openmediavault (RP managed) and made a few mistakes.

make sure you can mount 192.168.4.100://volume1/testmus1 on another local computer/laptop (assuming that is your music NAS). you might get prompted for a username/password. once successful, use the same info on your Rune install. if you have the password wrong, Rune can't mount the file system. You might need to enable samba on your nas. I'm using smb for all my mounts.

My steps where: build OMV, connect the drives, mount, share, add users/passwords, ... From my laptop, mount the drive and verify I can write to new mount. then mount from rune (don't forget the user/password). You might want to document your steps if you every need to rebuild rune (sd failure...).

there are a lot of threads about this so you know it isn't easy.

Solved it!

Tried a bunch of things and have worked out a configuration that allows Runeaudio to happily mount and view/index NFS shares from my Synology Diskstation.

Note: although this config works, I'm unsure as to if this makes the NAS more insecure than necessary, feel free to critique!

On the RPI I left the MPD Daemon user : group setting as "root:root".
In the Diskstation's File Services settings, I unticked "Apply default UNIX permissions" in the advanced settings tab for NFS.
I removed the password from the "Guest Account" on the Diskstation by turning off password strength controls.
In the Shared Folder settings I gave the Guest Account read access in permissions - I did not turn on "Advanced Permissions".
Here is a screen shot of the NFS settings I used, note: I did not use the squash settings:

Hopefully this can save someone hours of frustration!

Good luck fam.
