When LAN is used, it works fine.

Of course! Just copy and paste and change values according to the additional path!

I have something like (path to 3 folders) this in my auto.nas. However, Only the first folder gets read in the database. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks
Nas -fstype=cifs,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,rsize=2048,wsize=4096,cache=strict,username=pi,password= ://192.168.1.141/Newmusic
Nas -fstype=cifs,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,rsize=2048,wsize=4096,cache=strict,username=pi,password= ://192.168.1.141/Music

You should do this
Nas -fstype=cifs,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,rsize=2048,wsize=4096,cache=strict,username=pi,password= ://192.168.1.141/Newmusic
Nas2 -fstype=cifs,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,rsize=2048,wsize=4096,cache=strict,username=pi,password= ://192.168.1.141/Music
Nas3 -fstype=cifs,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,rsize=2048,wsize=4096,cache=strict,username=pi,password= ://192.168.1.141/old
But we're going to make this easier to set up, don't worry...
As for the connection issues... You may look if some firewalls are blocking you, in your pc or your router...

This works - thanks. Still having issues with connecting via GMPC/Mobile devices to the MPD. Its a hit or miss. My guess is the MPD does not start or listen all the time.

I have tried via LAN/Wi-fi but it seems agnostic to the what route i take, still gives me issues. But when it works, boy...it works like a charm.

I tried the RC2 version, same issue, GMPC cannot seem to see the MPD, however I ensured that the MPD is running and listening on 6600
Hope this is a bug and will be fixed Confused

This was the old procedure, since you're using the 1.0 beta you should read the 1.0 manual (as was stated in the forum).
You can find it here:
http://www.raspyfi.com/raspyfi.....er-manual/
Remember, RaspyFi works as an headless server. So basically GMPC only controls it! As for the other clients for Android or iOS...
However, quoting from the manual:
RaspyFi uses autofs to mount Samba Shares. Your share will be mounted when you start playing. The configuration file is
/etc/auto.nas
You can use your Nas by editing this line by
sudo nano /etc/auto.nas
and change this line
Nas -fstype=cifs,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,rsize=2048,wsize=4096,cache=strict,username=pi,password= ://192.168.x.x/sharename
where //192.168.x.x is the nas ip and sharename is your shared folder name.
Then save and exit. Autofs will mount your nas when mpd tries to access it
In your case
Nas -fstype=cifs,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,rsize=2048,wsize=4096,cache=strict,username=pi,password= ://192.168.yourcomputerip/sharedfoldername

Can we add multiple folders ? Thanks

I should have read up on the site before asking dumb questions! Thanks for quick answer.
As of now except for flaky wi-fi, everything else works fine.

I have tested VBR on 44.1k Sampling ( MP3, FLAC & M4a) with success. However, wav files with 192k Sampling gives white noise. I am using the HDMI route to yamaha receiver.

Thanks!

I followed the instructions to share the folder. So that part is done. Now comes the NAS part.
Where do I have to do the NAS mounting? In GMPC or pi?. I went thru the tutorials on etc/fstab and this the output I get. I dont see any ip there :(
What am i doing wrong.

GMPC for Windows doesn't have the option to stream local files to RaspyFi... However, you can mount your local folder as a NAS... By doing so, you are sharing via network the folder where your local music is. And RaspyFi will get the music from there.
To do so :
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthre.....?tid=63116

And mount the shared folder as a Nas, to do so follow the user manual...
Let me know if it works!

Loving every bit of it and it will only get better (using the beta version now) Laugh

Quick question on GMPC and playing local files from the PC/Laptop, where GMPC resides. For the life of me, I cant seem to find an option to mount/point GMPC to the local mp3 files. Am i missing something or GMPC cannot do that?

I am using windows 7 and Raspyfi + M2tech Hiface II

Thanks
