Add a network share (Synology NAS)

redgum 4 December 2020 pCP 6.1.0 Setup • How to  •

I’m assuming that you are a Linux noob, like me, and want to connect to a Synology NAS.

You have to configure access at both the NAS and the piCorePlayer LMS.

For the piCorePlayer LMS you need:

  1. A name for the mount point. This will only be used by the piCorePlayer LMS, so I used the name of my Synology NAS.
  2. The IP address for the NAS on your local network.
  3. The share name from your NAS. You will need to get this from Shared Folders on your NAS, in my case it is ‘/Volume 1/Music’
  4. Select NFS as the Share Type.
Warning

Don’t press the ‘Set NET Mount’ button yet!
