I received my Raspberry Pi2 and SD Card on Friday... and last night I received my tindle email to say that my iqAudio DAC+ & case were on theway. Cheers Gordon
This afternoon, I had a spare couple of hours and decided to setup the PI and connect it via USB to my Caiman DAC. Well I needed to sort some of the cabling out on the amplifier anyway
I decided to go with the RuneAudio distribution instead of volumio. First hurdle was trying to connect the PI to my Western Digital NAS drive with 2.3 Terabytes of apple lossless files. RuneAudio was easy to navigate, but I could not get it to successfully connect to the NAS share to see my files.
To cut a long story short.... after 3 hours of searching on Google I discovered the problem!!! On adding my NAS to the Library source I was omitting to add a final slash to the directory structure in the box labelled Remote Directory
I was following various threads and typing in media/Music because I could see the share under Windows as \\192.168.0.15\media\Music I thought it was enough to simply swap the windows backslash to the Linux forward slash. Nope, what I needed to type into the Remote Directory box was media/Music/ note the all important slash at the end !
Not sure whether this will make sense, but if you are trying to connect to a NAS box for your library source, and keep getting the error message Mount.failed (22) invalid argument consult the manual you may find that simply adding an extra / to the end of the remote directory might solve it.
YMMV but it worked for my Western Digital MyBookLive which is an excellent piece of inexpensive kit. I just wish the error message in RuneAudio was a little bit more informative to a Windows luddite like me.
Happily listening to some tunes drinking a bottle of wine.... looking forward to the arrival of the DAC+ and case later in the week
