Trouble Adding Nas as source

McButton · January 15, 2019 at 1:33 AM

Hello.

I just purchased a new NAS and can't seem to get it connected to LibreElec.

Synology 218 NAS/ current LE.

Smb Error: "Operation not permitted."

Previously, I used a Mycloud that connected via NFS and Smb with very little interaction. I just did a search and added directly.

I assume it's LE, since the same NAS pulls on Kodi via my phone and laptop.

Suggestions?

I assume you mean connecting an LE/Kodi client to the NAS (and not the reverse). Synology NAS work fine (we have 2x of them at home) and the only thing that's required is an authenticated connection to the NAS box. So create a "kodi" user and password, and give that user rights to shares. Now use that credential on the Kodi side - so a source will look like:

Code

    <music>
      <source>
        <name>MUSIC</name>
        <path>smb://username:password@DISKSTATION/MUSIC/</path>
        <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
      </source>
    </music>

^ or similar.. your NAS and share names will be different.
