Could not get USB drive to work

[dandeman]

I have installed Picorplayer on Allo digione signature, I have tried hours to setup the usb drive, but failed. I use macbook pro to do the setup, followed every step I could find on the internet, I just cannot get Digione to work with USB external hard drive, the error message is: "the operation can't be completed because the original item for Picoreplayer can't be found." Can someone help me to solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

For some reason that Samba would not run, and I could not setup Samba share, because it keep asking to "Fill out this field" see attached screenshot.

So this is a SAMBA problem

I don't use SAMBA at at really, in fact, only when I am trying to help others

Are you using the Mac to access the raspberry pi ?

Try entering

0775

into the box (fill out this field)

Here is the "official" procedure

https://docs.picoreplayer.org/how-to/add_usb_hdd/

It's a little outdated now, but gives the bare bones

try searching with the following

slimdevices forum, samba, kidstypike

Anyway I would not use "Root" as the mount point name, I know it works but it would only confuse a simple chap like myself

Thank you for your help! I have tried what you suggested, still no go. I will ditch the Allo digione signature anyway. Volumio 3 is still buggy, only good for English albums, but the sound is better than volumio 2 and MoOde. I am going to get a Lumin U1 mini, no more headaches.

Well, for what it is worth, the Allo Signaure is fault free in this case, I think it is (unintentional) user error. I have been running a sig for over six months now, fault free.

I look at your Samba configuration and think it is wrong, but without spending time I can't say what

Good look with the Lumin

Allo digione signature is great, with Volumio it sounded better than Bluesound Node(latest model), that is why I sold the Node. I like Allo, but hate buggy Volumio, for that reason I bought and returned Ifi Zen streamer which uses Volumio as well. I am sure I did something wrong with Picoreplayer, but for a freeware, no support is expected. Thanks again for your help!

On the contrary there is a lot more support for piCorePlayer here than you will get from a lot of commercial players.

I will give one more try. Ronni, Does PiCorePlayer sound better than Moode if you have compared them?
