Is this the NAS/"upnp" fix we need?

New here, joined up when I saw the lifehacker/tinkernut links. I got mine working yesterday but am disappointed in mpd's inability to play .pls and m3u (although that may be the limitation of ario and Gnome)

Googling around, I found this:

I am new to openwrt, so I don't know how he installed the shfs. Any help?

While I don't have experience with shfs directly (I use nfs instead), the way to install this would be through the opkg package manager used by openwrt:

Code: Select all

opkg install kmod-shfs shfs-utils

By the way, mpd does have the ability to save/load playlist files, and it uses the M3U format.

I got Ario to work with pls/m3u (I believe), although still only from internet sources. I can't get it to work with m3u's from my windows laptop hard drive. Which is hopefully what I can achieve with the shfs/nfs fixes. I would love to get mpd to catalog my external hard drives (connected to windows machines)

opkg install kmod-shfs shfs-utils

The only problem there is that kamikaze doesn't include them. Like I said, I'm new to linux and openwrt. I need to learn how to incorporate the shfs and utils, or even nfs. It's not possible to mount nfs folders located on a windows hard drive, is it? Would an ftp server fix all of this?

A windows share does not use the same protocol as an shfs or nfs share. Therefore, if you want to mount a windows share, you cannot use shfs or nfs. You can probably do this with cifs though:

Code: Select all

opkg install kmod-fs-cifs cifsmount

All these packages (cifs/nfs/shfs) are available for all kamikaze releases (8.09.0/.1/.2), as far as I can see. If you get an error installing anything, please post the contents of you opkg.conf file, located in /etc (Execute 'cat /etc/opkg.conf' from the command line), and we'll work from there.

Usually at this point I would download the source and compile my own packages. But that is just me.
