MOCP & Subsonic/Network Streams

Hi all,

I have subsonic media streaming running on a raspberry pi, which allows me to stream my music to anywhere I have internet. I would like to connect to it through mocp, but have been struggling, and not sure if it is possible anyway.

I've been trying to add raspi ip address, using sftp. Not sure if it would stream via sftp- I guess probably not.

Other ip combinations also seem to not work- or I just haven't been able to figure it out.

I think other people have network streams or folders up that mocp can access.

When I hit @ for the second fast directory I just get 'Fastdir2 not set'- but I am setting it in config.

Edit: Would Samba be the best way of going about this, then mounting the networked drive to /media or something?

Can anyone help me with this? How do others access networked drives through mocp?

Thanks

Re: MOCP & Subsonic/Network Streams

Ok, so I'm working with cifs now.

I do not have an fstab file- something to do with Waldorf's growing strains I think

So when I try to mount the network drive I get this:

mount.cifs: permission denied: no match for /media/sharename found in /etc/fstab

Any idea how to remedy this anyone? I'm a bit unsure writing an fstab out- have only done that with raspi before, and this #! is my everyday computer (i.e. a production machine).

I guess I would have to write out the /dev/sda1 bits and everything else too......or do I?

Re: MOCP & Subsonic/Network Streams

Its not that hard at all. Depends on you having separate boot, root, home, usr partitions.
Post output of

df -ah

please.
That and the output of

sudo blkid

should make it possible to create your /etc/fstab.

Re: MOCP & Subsonic/Network Streams

So, I'm getting this far on /etc/fstab

# <file system>                                <dir> <type>    <options>  <dump> <pass>
UUID=fbbf929b-c8fd-4186-a7d8-df67ccac2972      /         ext4        defaults                1          1
UUID=89d44e9f-5a3a-4c04-805e-ac6163f5651f    swap         swap        defaults                0            0

Re: MOCP & Subsonic/Network Streams

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=0ffd042d-d1b5-4d9b-a824-94d4d8ac22eb /        ext4    noatime,nodiratime,commit=30,nobarrier,delalloc,errors=remount-ro               0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=dc284d12-db35-4fe9-b2d9-a72c2d05070e none        swap    sw              0       0

Here is an old version of mine - I am using LVM now, so that is a little bit different.
The mount options for the root device is for optimizing purposes. And I dont really need atime for anything... ymmv

hope this helps

Re: MOCP & Subsonic/Network Streams

Thanks again xaos52

# <file system>        <dir>     <type>        <options>        <dump>    <pass>

Once I'm a bit more certain of my fstab writing capabilities, and have woken up a bit, I will probably use this one above. I copied it from the debian wiki, and from xaos52 above. I think everything is in order.

Is there risk here? If I get fstab wrong might I expect some nasty roblems after rebooting?

Re: MOCP & Subsonic/Network Streams

On the 'swap' line change the second 'swap' to 'sw'.
The rest looks OK.

A 'mild' risk.
Nothing that cant be cured if you are able to boot from live media.

Thanks. I'm guessing just deleting /etc/fstab using a live usb, and thus returning it to its original state (no /etc/fstab) would be the solution if anything went wrong.

This:

proc    /proc    proc    defaults    0    0
UUID=fbbf929b-c8fd-4186-a7d8-df67ccac2972    /    ext4    defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro    0     1

is what you want, trust me. atime is the biggest slowdown in an ext4 filesystem. We can set your cifs share to mount later.

Re: MOCP & Subsonic/Network Streams

Thanks el koraco

proc    /proc    proc    defaults    0    0
UUID=fbbf929b-c8fd-4186-a7d8-df67ccac2972    /    ext4    defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro    0     1
UUID=89d44e9f-5a3a-4c04-805e-ac6163f5651f    swap    swap    defaults    0    0    

or

proc    /proc    proc    defaults    0    0
UUID=fbbf929b-c8fd-4186-a7d8-df67ccac2972    /    ext4    defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro    0     1
UUID=89d44e9f-5a3a-4c04-805e-ac6163f5651f    swap    sw    defaults    0    0    

In the second I have changed swap to sw, as xaos52 suggested. It doesn't say that is necessary on the debian wiki, but it is the Good Doctor's word afterall...

Also, could you explain el koraco why you have changed the numbers, from 1   0   to   0    1 please?

I know its pretty lame having you guys hold my hand with this, but I need to work on this thing tomorrow morning!

Re: MOCP & Subsonic/Network Streams

The 0 number refers to the dump utility, which does filesystem backups for etx2 and ext3 filesystems. It is unnecessary for ext4 filesystems, it isn't even installed by default, and hence you don't need it referenced in fstab. It doesn't hurt though.

Re: MOCP & Subsonic/Network Streams

You Sir, are a star.

And the swap or sw thing?
