HDD, the action I have chosen to do), but when I tried to execute the
I do something very simple. I use "free file sync" (similar to synctoy)
to keep the USB drive I attach to my rPi up to date with my main
library.
1. remove USB drive from rPi (while all is off)
2. connect USB drive to my windows computer.
3. use freefilesync to mirror the contents of my main
Just check First that when you use the PC to write a file to the Pi HD
that LMS can subsequently scan and read it OK
Linux uses users/groups and file permissions in a different way to
Windows
It will probably work but worth checking before you use synctoy to
automate it
Also have you checked
yea, the wonders of forums ;), I found others with a similar issue, and
I just had to cut/paste the address (\\PiCoreLMS\PiCoreLMSfiles\~)
rather than use browse. Sync Toy browse doesn't like the drive maps. It
now works.
so, my plan (until I get a better plan) is to just use the PC as I
