NAS Drive ... fully working with Direct Recording and Streaming :)

What drive make/model do you have and is it on the same subnet as dbox?
 
Hmm everytime i select the plugin it just restarts the box. Any other ideas what I might have been doing wrong?

Heres the config file, have I done anything wrong in this?

DBox IP is 192.168.1.109
NAS IP is 192.168.1.106
Share on NAS is called REC
Share password on NAS is password

IPADDRESS=192.168.1.106
SHARENAME=REC
PASSWORD=password
MOUNTPOINT=/hdd

I have one of the LAN SERVER boxes what you mentioned last week. Got it formatted as Fat32. Yep everything is on the same subnet.
 
Hmm.... tricky.
Make sure you are using correct capitalization on the sharename and password (very important)... also double check that you can access that share on your PC via the IP address you specify in the config file...

Which image are you using?
Does the /hdd folder exist, or does it come under /var/hdd instead? Does it even have an hdd folder???
 
Sharename/password are exactly the same on both.

I can access the share on the NAS from my pc with that IP.

I'm using De_Deej's latest sportster image (as it's been the most stable image ever on my sagem)

I can't see that HDD folder anywhere on the dbox. Should I make one before running the plugin? If so should I stick it in /mnt/HDD or /var/HDD ?
 
talking about files over 4 gig has anybody evr had problems playing files at this size?
i ask as i have major problems with files that big i question i was gonna ask was im using a 10meter crossover would this maybe cause a problem?
 
I've made a folder now its in '/var/hdd' I have edited the NAS plugin config file to point to that. It still doesn't work though, box just reboots.

Just tried it on cryos final image, does exactly the same thing.

I assume it must be to do with the mount point, both images i've used are squashfs so i'll need to make the mount point /var/hdd won't I?
 
This is doing my head in now, i've double and tripple checked everything.

I've even set the /var/hdd directory on the dbox to 755 incase that made any difference.

Still won't work, box just reboots everytime. I can't even see any errors.

Which image did you use it on?
 
Can somone please make this available for download? I can't find it in the download section.
 
Do you have a router and are you able to forward port 23 (telnet??)
I might be able to manually mount it [nice big long script :)]
 
@garysbootlegs
JUST HAD SUCCESS WITH THE NAS DRIVE. BEEN PLAYING WITH TELNET ON YOUR BOX BUT ITS QUITE HARD TO SET UP.

Have a look in your /mnt/hdd folder... I believe you have these files on your drive:
01-strange & beautiful.mp3
Auf Wiedersehen Pet RND-03.avi


Test them out. I don't know if I've managed to get write permissions yet!
Am just about to send you a messagebox to your TV screen lol.

Dizzy
 
I got the message on the screen, lol.

Just had a look and i cant see the files in the /var/hdd or /hdd or /mnt directorys

Where abouts was the mount?
 
It should be mounted to /mnt/hdd
I am working on changing the mount points .... it would only accept /mnt/hdd.

Also had to play around with insmod and modprobe.
Samba refused to work, even with native smbmnt
 
Ah i can see the mp3 there now.

Box has just crashed when i tried to play it though.

Ill have to restart it now.
 
Great, lol...
You can try whatever image you want on there now... its up to you as I think i've got the general commands worked out. I will have to build this into some kind of script or plugin. Didnt realize NAS handling was such a big issue with the newer DBOX images. Drive will not be automatically mounted when you restart so I'd have to mount it via telnet again if you wanted to have a little play whilst I write something proper?
 
Ah right I see.

I'll just leave it for now until you've written something proper, ill flash de_deejs latest image back on as thats totally stable on my sagem.

Many thanks for all effort you're putting in to get the NAS drives to work.

If you need to test anything out again let me know and i'll open the relevant ports again.

Cheers mate
