Connecting a HD that is using the USB port on my router

Help and Support Guides
1

I currently connect to 2 Bluesound players using this:-
network'router name’\usb1\music
I’d like to run my music from this existing H/D that is connected to my routers USB port. This is not part of a NAS just a basic H/D
a) is it possible?
b) what format should the fields be in, to do this?

I’m a beginner so not to techy please

Since your question seems to be about Bluesound I think it is better to use their forum, this is a page for people using Volumio.

It is not about Bluesound it is about Volumio. Bluesound are my other players.
I want to use the same HD in the USB of the router for my RPI Volumio player

You need to have the full path to your shared USB device and depending on the protocol provided by your router (NFS/SMB and version), you can set this up in Volumio under sources.

Thanks Wheaten Your post prompted NFS/SMB as a google question and it brought up the answer on this forum a help topic

And its answered my question as I can now see my router loading up its contents, nearly 2 TB’s worth,will report back on progress but it looks good so far.

Tried it and working exatly how I thought it shoud - THANKS AGAIN :grinning: :+1:
