connecting to nas

running raudio 1 • 20210316 on pi3b, I have been trying to connect to a nas with no success. the nas is another pi running samba, 0 problems reaching it from windows. all the music was transferred across the wire so it's functional. my first attempts to connect using the nas function and selecting cifs said 'done' but never connects to the share. it seemed more like it finally timed out than actually connected. following steps from:

runeaudio.com/forum/problem-adding-synology-nas-as-source-t7218.html

I manually mounted the drive but it comes up as red. fstab was edited to include this line

//172.15.15.15/4rune /mnt/MPD/NAS/mainbrick cifs noauto,username=pi,password=yes,uid=0,gid=0,iocharset=utf8 0 0


there is a dir called mainbrick and I assigned 0 for the uid to determine root on the rune has control mainbrick. has anyone done this or been able to mount a nas for a central repository of music?

I use a Pi based NAS as my source for music files. This is what results for me after using the setup dialog box:

# cat /etc/fstab

PARTUUID=3adcf33f-01 /boot vfat defaults 0 0
PARTUUID=3adcf33f-02 / ext4 defaults 0 0
//192.168.1.***/mynas/new /mnt/MPD/NAS/new cifs username=*****,password=*****,uid=45,gid=45,iocharset=utf8

thanx for the reply ears of tin. that's pretty close to what I had in my file but I did copy/paste yours into my file (with the obvious changes) but no joy. question for you, what file format is your drive?

Format is ntfs. I use the same drive as samba for rAudio/Volumio and as dlna for chromecasting.
