[SOLVED] Enabling Samba Share

Dezo

Hi,I would like upload audio files to shared folder on SD card with Rune via LAN from Windows PC.It seems that Samba is installed(samba-rune) but not active.I tried enabling services smbd and nmbd,edit smb.conf ,no change.I cant see RuneAudio from my desktop PC.SSH works well.I would appreciate any help.Thanks

In the current version there's a little bug that prevents samba to start automatically under certain conditions, we count to find it and fix it soon. In the meanwhile you can start it manually with this command:

systemctl start smbd

If you want to expose also other system folders you have to enable the DEV mode first:

redis-cli set dev "1"

Thanks ACX, SMB is running now and RuneAudio accessible from windows machine and android tablet too.

Hi,
I am having the same problem but the solution provided does not seem to work for me. I dont see the share on other devices (Windows or OSX). I am running release version: 0.3 (build: beta-20141027) FWIW
Thanks for the great work!

Hi Hubo,
you also have to restart the rune_SY_wrk worker or restart the player.
Unfortunately there is a bug on the startup of samba daemon on this release. I'm working on a fix in these days.

I have the same problem, I know there is a bug but with all this information I still can't get samba share started.
DEV mode ON restarted player and executed "systemctl start smbd"

Is there something else I can do to make it work, or just wait till next release? I would be very pleased if this works. Thanks for all the work!

UPDATE: after modifying \etc\samba\smb.conf (adding /mnt/MPD/USB entry) it works! I now have READ/WRITE access to my USB keys!

Marcelles: could you please post your smb.conf? I am also struggling to see my harddisk on my windows PC.

Edit:Solved. Now I need to password protect the mounted drive.

I can't get Samba to work, I tried everything from this topic (systemctl start smbd, restarting the player, I tried even to restart the rune_SY_wrk worker) but I can't see my RPi under Network on windows.

Using same workgroup on windows and smb.conf did it for me.

Hi,
I can see rune audio from windows all right by following the instructions in this post.
But Ubuntu says it can't get the list of shares... Any ideas?

run smbclient -L \\RUNEAUDIO from commandline to see the Runeaudio shares
with default settings you should get:

Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.3.4]

Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
MusicStore Disk MPD MusicStore (/mnt/MPD)
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (RuneAudio Player)
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.3.4]

Server Comment
--------- -------
RUNEAUDIO RuneAudio Player

Workgroup Master
--------- -------
WORKGROUP

now you can manually mount the MusicStore to a directory, e.g.:

sudo mount //RUNEAUDIO/MusicStore /media

it asks for the Runeaudio root password (rune by default) and your Ubuntu password

then you will have in /media all RUNEAUDIO shares

LocalStorage
NAS
Podcast
USB
Webradio

to unmount the shares

sudo umount //RUNEAUDIO/MusicStore /media
