First off – Great distro. Loving every bit of it and it will only get better (using the beta version now)

Quick question on GMPC and playing local files from the PC/Laptop, where GMPC resides. For the life of me, I cant seem to find an option to mount/point GMPC to the local mp3 files. Am i missing something or GMPC cannot do that?

I am using windows 7 and Raspyfi + M2tech Hiface II

Thanks

Thanks for the info. I followed the instructions to share the folder. So that part is done. Now comes the NAS part.
Where do I have to do the NAS mounting? In GMPC or pi?. I went thru the tutorials on etc/fstab and this the output I get. I dont see any ip there
What am i doing wrong.

# / was on /dev/mmcblk0p3 during installation
/dev/mmcblk0p3 / ext3 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /boot was on /dev/mmcblk0p1 during installation

# swap was on /dev/mmcblk0p2 during installation

none /run/shm tmpfs defaults,size=256M,noexec,nodev,nosuid 0 0

Works flawlessly! I should have read up on the site before asking dumb questions! Thanks for quick answer.
As of now except for flaky wi-fi, everything else works fine.

I have tested VBR on 44.1k Sampling ( MP3, FLAC & M4a) with success. However, wav files with 192k Sampling gives white noise. I am using the HDMI route to yamaha receiver.

Thanks!

For some reason, in the Beta GMPC (in windows) connecting to MPD is a hit or miss. I have tried via LAN/Wi-fi but it seems agnostic to the what route i take, still gives me issues. But when it works, boy…it works like a charm.

I tried the RC2 version, same issue, GMPC cannot seem to see the MPD, however I ensured that the MPD is running and listening on 6600
Hope this is a bug and will be fixed

Of course! Just copy and paste and change values according to the additional path!

I have something like (path to 3 folders) this in my auto.nas. However, Only the first folder gets read in the database. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

You should do this
Nas -fstype=cifs,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,rsize=2048,wsize=4096,cache=strict,username=pi,password= ://192.168.1.141/Newmusic
Nas2 -fstype=cifs,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,rsize=2048,wsize=4096,cache=strict,username=pi,password= ://192.168.1.141/Music
Nas3 -fstype=cifs,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,rsize=2048,wsize=4096,cache=strict,username=pi,password= ://192.168.1.141/old
But we're going to make this easier to set up, don't worry…
As for the connection issues… You may look if some firewalls are blocking you, in your pc or your router…

This works – thanks. Still having issues with connecting via GMPC/Mobile devices to the MPD. Its a hit or miss. My guess is the MPD does not start or listen all the time.
