Samba Share Access from Mac Mini Server

[Schnitte]

Hi Tom.

Thanks for helping me.

I have thought about creating a new user…

Here is the log from fstab

Hi,

Can you please try:

sudo mount -v /mnt/media

Can provide the output.

I have thought about creating a new user…

If you think a username with spaces is a causing the issue (only a guess, but I would be inclined to agree), I would create the new user and try mounting the share with the new credentials.

Thanks Tom.

@Tom_Doyle

sudo mount -v /mnt/media

Output:

Couldn't chdir to /mnt/media: No such device

Next step is probably to create a new user account for the mac…

[Tom_Doyle]

Hi,

Does /mnt/media exist?

Thanks Tom.

[Schnitte]

Yup

[Tom_Doyle]

Hi,

If you are still having issues after creating the new user, I suggest checking the permissions of /mnt/media, with:

ls -ld /mnt/media

Thanks To,

Hi Tom.

Sorry for the long waiting.

I have not tried to create a new user yet (since this is a bit messy on a Mac Os System). However I have tried to activate the UPnP service and I am able to read all the files on the HDD through UPnP however OSMC are not able to scrape the files? They are being registred wrong? As a Video Source but I am not able to specify what kind of content is stored in the path?

Hi again!

Finally!

Now I just need to convert this to fstab. Can you help me?

sudo mount -t cifs "//192.168.1.201/LaCie P9237" /mnt -o user="frederik johnson"

I don’t believe kodi supports scraping upnp to library.

sudo mount -t cifs "//192.168.1.201/LaCie P9237" /mnt -o user="frederik johnson"

Try:

//192.168.1.201/LaCie\040P9327 /mnt cifs x-systemd.automount,noauto,rw,iocharset=utf8,username="frederik johnson",password=my_password,uid=osmc,gid=osmc,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770 0 0

Thanks Tom.

When I try to do “sudo mount -a” I receive an error on the line (I have of course filled in my username and pass).

mount: /etc/fstab: parse error at line 11 -- ignored

Hi,

I don’t think fstab likes using a space. I’ve been doing a bit of googling, anf it looks like Mac acconts have a long and a short username:

How to Change the Short Name of a User Account in Mac OS X

You should be use that to work out what the short name is for frederik johnson, use that as the username with in the quotes; in fstab.

Thanks Tom.

Exciting! I will try this and return. Thanks a lot!

[Schnitte]

It worked! Thanks!
