Software

Installing for Buster, find which version you want:

https://www.signalyst.eu/bins/hqplayerd/buster/

Now install HQP

sudo wget https://www.signalyst.eu/bins/hqplayerd/stretch/hqplayerd_4.11.2-36_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i hqplayerd_4.11.2-36_amd64.deb

Once booted up, you can use the web configuration interface from another computer or login as "root" (no password) from console. Default username for web interface is "hqplayer" and default password is "password". Please change the password as soon as possible, either through the web interface, or from command line using command "hqplayerd -s usernamepassword". The image will attempt to appear under name "hqplayer" on the network, but you can also see the obtained IP adress using command "ifconfig".

Additional documentation can be found in /usr/share/hqplayer/readme.txt

Upgrade to newer version

sudo systemctl stop hqplayerd.service

sudo wget https://www.signalyst.eu/bins/hqplayerd/buster/hqplayerd_4.12.1-38_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i hqplayerd_4.12.1-38_amd64.deb

When it first boots up, you see this message:

NAS Setup

Install Samba and other programs for Samba

wget http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/s/samba/samba-common_4.5.16+dfsg-1+deb9u2_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i samba-common_4.5.16+dfsg-1+deb9u2_all.deb

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/talloc/libtalloc2_2.1.8-1_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libtalloc2_2.1.8-1_amd64.deb

wget http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/s/samba/libwbclient0_4.5.16+dfsg-1+deb9u2_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libwbclient0_4.5.16+dfsg-1+deb9u2_amd64.deb

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/cifs-utils/cifs-utils_6.7-1_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i cifs-utils_6.7-1_amd64.deb

Now go make a directory and mount share to it

sudo mkdir /mnt

cd /mnt

sudo mkdir /mnt/samba

sudo mkdir /mnt/samba/stuff

sudo mkdir /mnt/samba/music_1tb

sudo chmod 777 /mnt/samba/stuff

sudo chmod 777 /mnt/samba/music_1tb

192.168.xxx.xxx below is you NAS address

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.xxx.xxx/USB_Storage/stuff /mnt/samba/stuff -o guest,vers="1.0"

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.xxx.xxx/USB_Storage/music_1tb /mnt/samba/music_1tb -o guest,vers="1.0"

Now check and make sure drive was mounted

cd /mnt/samba/stuff

ls

Troubleshooting

On a mac, if you go to safari and enter

smb://192.168.xxx.xxx/USB_Storage/music_1tb

Then allow finder to find it, it should show up

All your files should show up

But this will be lost over a reset or power cycle.

To make it work permanently, you need to edit fstab

cd /etc

sudo nano fstab

add these lines to fstab, I added at the end.

//192.168.xxx.xxx/USB_Storage/stuff /mnt/samba/stuff      cifs     guest,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=60,vers=1.0    0     0

//192.168.xxx.xxx/USB_Storage/music_1tb /mnt/samba/music_1tb      cifs     guest,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=60,vers=1.0    0     0

NOTES:

so i tested a lot of different settings and while _netdev did not work for me i finally found a working setting as following:

//192.168.1.100/Storage /mnt/storage cifs x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=60,vers=1.0,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/home/alain/.smbcredentials,uid=1000,gid=users,file_mode=0775, dir_mode=0775 0 0

https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2383327

exit and save

to test,

sudo mount -a

NOTES:

THIS WORKED

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.xxx.xxx/USB_Storage/stuff /mnt/samba/stuff -o guest,vers="1.0"

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.xxx.xxx/USB_Storage/music_1tb /mnt/samba/music_1tb -o guest,vers="1.0"

if errors or problems, look at log file:

sudo tail -f /var/log/kern.log

to unmount:

sudo umount /mnt/samba/stuff
