Hi,
Thanks guys but I have found my problem myself...
Seems I needed to understand a little more about Linux user accounts,
Samba shares and Rivendell.
Not trying to teach Granny to suck eggs... but for other noobs to
Rivendell, and/or Linux this is what I found.
Make sure you use the same username/password, to map to your network
share, from Rivendell machine as the Linux /Rivendell/ logon account
credentials. In my case it was/rd/password/. What is important as you
might expect, is to get permissions correct. The Rivendell Playout
system 'presenter' account (default='user') was not the problem and can
be ignored for this operation.
So now, when importing audio files with RDLibrary you can browse your
network share from within Rivendell (not just with a file manager).
Create a mount point directory in //home///rd/ for your Samba share, it
should then be listed along with the Rivendell '/rd/' account,
pre-created directories, such as /music-export/, /music_import/,
/traffic_import/... etc. You should then be able to 'pick' files from
your network share. All Rivendell imported transcoded audio is stored in
/var/snd.
I built Rivendell on an 160Gb SSD, for learning and testing, two
questions are:
1. What is the better choice, an additional internal Library HDD or
just one single huge HDD for Linux and Library.
2. Can Rivendell use a networked share as the Library.
Sorry I haven't drilled the lists for the answer to question 2 yet.
Thanks

Hi,
I have a shed load of audio files (ordered and tagged) on a Linux Mint
19.0 PC, which is samba sharing a folder I would like to use for
importing to Rivendell.
My Centos-7 RD install is working fine but whilst the Thunar File
Manager can access the Mint folder share happily, RDLibrary "Select
Audio File" dialogue box does not show this mounted share.
Do I need to give share permissions to the RD "user" account to see
this share, if so how do I do that or simply add the Centos login user
to the samba share permissions
Any pointers would be appreciated thanks,
Chris.
