Looking for musicplayer other than vlc that can handle upnp streaming

[dalto]

The mounts in /etc/fstab are mounted by root so the creds in your home directory are not the right place.

Also, that would quite insecure.

[swh]

ok thanks, that explains everything

so i need to install full samba package? cifs-utils are already installed

[Trekkie00]

Kodi would be my choice for such a scenario.

[swh]

kodi is quite nice, but too extensive

[dalto]

@swh

so i need to install full samba package? cifs-utils are already installed

cifs-utils should be enough.

[swh]

seem enough.
I did it as you pointed out but when mounting the drive under dolphin it gives me the following error message: bad option uid=username.
i am sure i have chosen the correct username and password

[dalto]

@swh

bad option uid=username

This should be your username in Linux. The creds file gets your username for the share.

[swh]

this is how my fstab looks

//router_ip/FRITZBox/3xt1/ /mnt/FRITZBox/3xt1/ cifs x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=1min,rw,uid=username,gid=username,credentials=/etc/samba/private/credfile.cred,iocharset=utf8,vers=2.0 0 0

3xt1 is my external drive on my router

[dalto]

@swh

uid=username,gid=username

You need to replace username with your actual Linux username.

[swh]

i see. i must have been a little confused. everything works like a charm

Thanks a lot for your support @dalto !

[waterbuffalo]

This is the way!

The only other music player that supports upnp besides VLC is Rhythmbox.

You have to install a plugin to enable this support, and open a port in firewalld/

The plugin is Grilo. Once installed Grilo must be enabled in the Rhythmbox configuration. Go to TOOLS → Plugins and check Grilo.

Go to this post for how to change firewalld

Dlna server not found when firewall active

Here is what I had to do to get port 1900 udp open Open up the firewall app by right clicking on the firewall icon, then ‘Edit firewall settings’ First thing is to set the rules to ‘Permanent’. It usually ‘Runtime’ by default. [upnp-client] Then select the ‘upnp-client’ under the Services Tab. Next, click on ‘Options’ in the top panel, and click ‘Reload Firewalld’ This should get things working. Forget everything after this as it is all not the best solution. Next, open the ‘ports’ Tab …

thanks @Pudge , but i don’t really like the interface and the whole layout. rhythmbox and grilo is a term i understand.

i know the pinned thread. that’s how i set my firewalld a while ago.

[swh]

that’s how i set it up. i was just a little confused about fstab. luckily everything is working now

[Pudge]

You seem so pleased that I might have to look into this when I get some spare time.

Pudge

[swh]

very pleased.cantata and also strwawberry has unrestricted access to the external hard drive on the router.
i just didn’t know which way to go to get to the destination./mnt is really the easiest way. feel free to try this

[swh]

the only thing i have to change at the end of my fstab was vers=2 into vers=1

//router_ip/FRITZBox/3xt1/ /mnt/FRITZBox/3xt1/ cifs x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=1min,rw,uid=username,gid=username,credentials=/etc/samba/private/credfile.cred,iocharset=utf8,vers=1.0 0 0

EDIT: this has to do with the file permission

[Pudge]

I have never tried Cantata. I will have to try it locally and see what it offers, and if I like it I will try the above.

Thanks.

Pudge

[swh]

youre welcome.
i like cantata so much. really nice layout, you can easyly search and favourite your radio stations and its a really nice mpd-client.
