I have an unslung NSLU2 (6.10 beta)
with a recently installed Firefly nightlie 1696
hopefully streaming to a Pinnacle Soundbridge
The Unslung O/S is installed on USB1 (2gb USB drive) and the music is installed on a 16gb Emtec USB drive on USB2.
The music dive is formatted to FAT32 and has a MUSIC directory with all songs in directories from there.it appears to have installed OK and runs and the Soundbridge can see the server, but there are no songs.
No problem i thought just open the config file and and point it to the correct location – Wrong!!
I have installed Twonky (trial) and it can find some (why it can only find SOME is another problem!!) music at :-
/hdd/data/HDD_1_1_1/MusicUsing Vi I edited the config file and restarted the server and then rescanned, but still NO music
I have tried various links but could not get it to work.If i followed the default link that was in the config file (can’t remember exactly the path), but was something like /share/hdd/
I find that the link HDD_1_1_1 is there, but if i follow it further then the Music file is not there.Should i try and put a symbolic link in? if so what command would work?
Ant thought or reconsiderations greatly received – sorry that the post is a little rambling, but not sure what the problem is or what is relevant!
thanks in anticipation28/04/2009 at 10:30 AM #18519stretchParticipantThe slug knows USB port 1 as /hdd/ & USB port 2 as /flash/
The names have absolutely nothing to do with what is physically plugged into them.My Slug has the system drive on Port 2 and in my case, the path to the music files is /share/flash/data/music
I’m not sure how the naming convention changes when the HDD is using a FAT32 partition28/04/2009 at 10:54 AM #18520AnonymousInactiveHi
thanks for the quick replyIf i follow the links (i am away from the slug now and cannot remember which one)
/share/flash/data/HDD_1_1_1/Music
/share/hdd/data/HDD_1_1_1/Musici get as far as “HDD_1_1_1” and there is nothing else to follow. I was not sure if i need to add a symbolic link or get at the music folders from another route?
Thanks again for all your help -
