Hello Jim and others,
Had another attempt to run once I understood it doesn't effect the overall install and that one can revert to normal operation. Perhaps some quirk of my browser / cache but on a third attempt it seems to be behaving and appears to offer the options I expected. I confess I've not really touched the sytem for a year or so and am not a programmer/linux expert although technically competent by dint of hardware electronics experience , early microprocessors (worked at Psion on manufacturing test sytem design and DAB radio) I've reinstalled the server more than once but each time I've done so everything including the O/S , Server etc has moved on a few iterations and scope for issues to catch the newbie out. Last a couple of times I recall I had to install Perl , which was a new requirement as I understood things. I've a manual script/procedured that I've put together and includes modifying the fstab file: /dev/sda1 /media/music vfat rw,user,umask=000,uid=112,gid=65534 0 0 This came from an early blog/article on installing Squeezeboxserver on a Pi. It's worked for me . In truth I beleive it gives permission to the server to access the music stored on my external hard drive. Is this correct. I'd welcome any comments about the simplest route to install today and access music on an external device (1 Terabyte Hard Drive with 1700 Flac CDs). Thanks once again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bayard1music's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51497 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117171 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
