I went through all the documentation but did not found the answer. I am using one of those very popular german Fritz-Box as my router with an USB-HDD attached as a NAS containing all the music files. While it is no problem handling this volume from the PC, I was not able to register it under Volumio. When I click under MyMusic / Rescan it only shows up the computer itself, not the NAS drives.
I tried a lot, registering like “192.168.178.1/fritz.nas/namehdd” and other and similar but it always gives an error msg… anyone here using the fritz-box as well???
The problem that I have seen with people using USB ports on routers for a NAS is getting the correct name and path of the share (presumably samba/cifs??), because it is not always obvious.
Can you try the following command from an ssh session:
smbclient -L 192.168.178.1
assuming that your router address is 192.168.178.1
Well, I am not familiar with linux, ssh, etc., when I recently installed Neutron Player on my android phone I got guided through all the procedure, first clicked the network, then immediately appeared the drives, then the volumes and finally the folder where the music is stored and I saved the process. I thought this could have been similar here… how or where could I see the details you need?
On the IE the mapped drive looks like this: \WD-Elements10A8-01 (\fritz.nas\Fritz.nas) and on the Web-UI from the fritz.nas it says: / fritz.nas / WD-Elements10A8-01 / sofort / musik_alle. I tried all these and other possibilities but had no success…
Just one further question: When I click “Music Lib” I see three options. First is the USB inserted in the rpi, second is called “INTERNAL” and third is the NAS (fritz-box).
What means here “INTERNAL”, is it the sdcard? How do I get music on this space? … Is it even advisable?
my name is Tom. I’m new to Volumio - thanks to Michelangelo for his great job!
I’m very experienced with Microsoft world but not with Linux. The Raspi with Volumio was prepared by my son.
So - my configuration is similar to Berry’s: FritzBox 7490 with USB-HDD for Music + Raspi + Volumio.
With Kodi on a PC under Win 10 the configuration works fine.
With Volumio I first tried by myself - I love learning by doing without reading advice first :mrgreen: . ==> Connection Volumio to Fritz did not work - of course!
Then I started reading and found this thread and followed shaDNfro:
==> Error message (displayed so shortly that I could not read it)
Trials:
with and without sec=ntlmv2
with another (simpler) folder on the FritzBox: fritz.nas/Musik
What seems to me strange is the “:” in the path: 192.168.6.101:fritz.nas … (see screenshot)
With this settings I got no error message - the “waiting curl” appeared for some minutes.
After coming back to the user interface nothing was done: No music files even the new share was has not been stored.
well since volumio 2 I do not use the sec=ntlmv2 Flag (Option) any more.
I am not sure if the fritz.nas (in the Path) is case sensitive… I allways use it in Capital Letters (FRITZ.NAS).
You might also add an / in the end of the Path.
Your screenshot shows a “not mounted” red X instead of an green checkbutton… seems the mount did not work at all.
Did you check the ip of the fritz.box (as standard setting is: 192.168.178.1)
Did you set the right user access rights for the folders in the fritz.box settings (I guess you did, if it works with Kodi…)
Bye the way, mounting hughe shares takes its time… Whenever I read in the NAS I’ll wait 24 h until I am sure all my files a recognized and the “search”-wheel vanishes
I had a look to the log file. The part dealing with the FrizBox is this:

For me that looks fine?! But Fritz is not found?
May be there is something wrong with the config of FRITZ.NAS!
Is there a possibility to check if the nas is reachable in the browser?
You don’t appear to have the samba shares that you are expecting on your NAS. After you run ‘smbclient -L 192.168.6.101’ the only share shown is “7490” If I check my NAS for shares then I get:
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
Computer Disk Stuff for the Computer
DVDs Disk
Ebooks Disk What it says on the tin
homes Disk user home
ian Disk Ian's stuff
jeanette Disk Jeanette's Clutter
Manuals Disk

photo Disk System default shared folder

sam Disk Sam's collection

[/code]
Can you double check on your NAS that you are actually sharing the directories you think you are?
Try including ‘7490’ as the beginning of your path?
You could also try manual mounting just to check that you are using the correct path. Try from ssh:
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=whatever //192.168.6.101/7490/TOSHIBA-ExternalUSB3-0-01/Musik /mnt/NAS/FRITZ
…, and alter the path to suit your exact music directory location. If it doesn’t give any errors, then change to the directory (‘cd /mnt/NAS/FRITZ’) and check your files are shown.
@Silentioso … Isnt it “Netzlaufwerk verbinden…” and using \volumio where it says “Ordner:…” and “Durchsuchen”? that should lead you to the (USB) folder you need…
