First, I would like to thank you for your great work. I follow you since a long time now, and it’s a pleasure to see that things are constantly moving in the right direction.
A short description of my system :
I installed Volumio on a raspberry pi. My music is stored in a HDD, connected with USB to the Raspberry.
For digital to analog, I used a small board based on PCM2704, which make the conversion from USB (on the raspberry) to SPDIF. SPDIF is then converted by a Musical fidelity M1DAC.
As I don’t want to move my USB HDD each time I want to add music on it, I use Samba, and from my computer (on Linux Mint) I have access to the USB HDD connected to the pi.
The problem is that accentuated characters don’t appears well. For example, Björk appears as B0A235~X, Noir Désir appears as NEBBU7~Y…
Moreover, it prevent me to copy files which names have accent.
I tried to modify /etc/samba/smb.conf by adding :
dos charset = CP850
unix charset = UTF-8
unix extensions = no
display charset = UTF-8
at the end of the file (I have previously commented dedicated lines on /var/www/_OS_SETTINGS/etc/samba/smb.conf)
But it doesn’t work.
Previously, when I used Raspify RC2, both smb.conf and /etc/fstab have been modified and it worked
(in /etc/fstab, i mounted my USB HDD with this line : /dev/sda1 /media/music auto iocharset=utf8,gid=pi,uid=pi,noatime 0 0)
Now in Volumio, in fstab, I don’t see any reference to the USB HDD.
What should be modified to solve this problem of accent ?
problem will be in “dmask=0777,fmask=0777” you should have it as FS_MOUNTOPTIONS="-fstype=vfat,iocharset=utf8,gid=root,dmask=0002,fmask=0002", because with 0777 you will get rights d--------- and mpd doesnt have rights to read it
I have the same problem with albums with Greek characters, but I know very very little about linux, so my question is how to call the /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf from ssh, so to edit it? How to see and edit this confguration (and other configuration) files in volumio?
