geoff 0 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Hi Have just installed the server on my PC. Having difficulty in identifying the path to my library which is on a attached USB harddrive on my Minix .Have tried to enter the path as \\ip address\storage\external_storage\sda1 but get the message that there is no media. Doing something wrong.! Geoff

geoff 0 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 Sorry, will post in correct area with extra data
geoff 0 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 Version 3.0.5464.40000 MINIX NEO-X8-H 2.1.38 Have just installed the server on my PC. Having difficulty in identifying the path to my library which is on a attached USB hard drive on my Android Minix ( the server does not automatically find the media) .Have tried to enter select media path as \\ip address\storage\external_storage\sda1 but get the message that the network path was not found The Minix can see the server and the server can see the Minix. Doing something wrong.!
geoff 0 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 Still looking for a solution. Have tried Filezilla in an attempt to share the files on the Minix, no luck.I could see some of the files but not the storage. Tried WINSCP and that was able to see all the files, strange. I could identify the path but Media Browser still could not find the storage. Where to now?
bluemonkey07 590 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Why don't you just attach the usb harddrive to the server PC? Edited January 12, 2015 by Vidman
MrFlibbles 21 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 You are still not really providing a complete picture sorry geoff. The image you provided is not working for me, but I'm assuming the Minix is an android device? In order to get the path to your library, you will need to share the folder on the Minix via a method windows can see. SMB is the normal way to achieve this. Browsing via WinSCP only proves you can connect to the FTP/SFTP server on the Minix and browse. Mediabrowser server on your PC will not attempt to connect via FTP. Once you can share the folder with the media and access it from your PC using \\ip address\sharename then you'll be on the right path to add that detail into the mediabrowser server media folders. As Vidman suggests above, attaching the drive to your PC would certainly work. You will need to ensure that it is also shared and perhaps look at using path substitution on the server side to ensure all clients access the files via the UNC path. 1
markkingffw 0 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I have an external usb hard drive attched to my pc which had the latest server software. I can find the first part. (f:) but NOT the second part. (G:) whats going on and how to I solve this. Thanks Markkingffw
MrFlibbles 21 Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Mark, you have not provided enough information or context on your issue sorry. Without further info, no-one will be able to assist sorry. What do you mean you can "find the first part. (f:) but NOT the second part. (G:)"? External drives normally only have 1 drive letter as there is one partition on it. Where can't you find it?
geoff 0 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 Trying to set up a SMB share with the Android and my Windows 8.1 Laptop. Have been able to access the Minix from the laptop and from the Minix to the laptop. However still not been able to access the storage on the Minix from Media Browser.Still getting path not found. I have the Minix with Kodi installed connected to the TV and can download content directly to the attached storage.
geoff 0 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 "getting path not found" Where...? The path to the USB storage attached to the Minix. //ipaddress for Minix/storage/external_storgae/sda1
Beardyname 198 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Does android come with an built in SAMBA server? (yes i know it's not called that anymore) Otherwise I would look around for a way to share it using samba.
DrWatson 62 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 You could try sambadroid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sambadroid&hl=en or grab a copy of es file explorer and use the built in ftp server
ebr 16183 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 "getting path not found" Where...? The path to the USB storage attached to the Minix. //ipaddress for Minix/storage/external_storgae/sda1 No... where are you getting that message? What are you doing when you get the message and where does the message come from. This is where screen shots would be really helpful...
geoff 0 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 You could try sambadroid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sambadroid&hl=en or grab a copy of es file explorer and use the built in ftp server Have ES file explorer installed and have used this to access the PC. Server.html Media Library.html
ebr 16183 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Neither of those screen shots show the error message you say you are getting. Where is that coming from?
geoff 0 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Have tried a couple of ways to upload a screen shot .Tried with a file from Open Office and a screen shot using an extension to Chrome. Both rejected
