Must be a directory, Correct highlighted Value - Mark Smith - 06-05-2024 11:37

Hi Im running Minimserver on my MAC with a Buffalo link station holding my FLAC files about c2500albums...... It was working but now it just keeps coming up with the same message.....

It is a NAS drive, image attached..... I've used Volumes and Volume1 in the directory as described in other threads, but nothing seems to work...... Thanks in advance...... Mark

There is no image attached to your post. This might be because you didn't select Add Attachment after selecting New Attachment: Browse (see this post).

Thanks Simon, and you're right...... Every time I put the directory in..... either //Volumes/FlacMusic or //LS220DB2/FlacMusic
that's the name of the drive...... It comes up the same message...... However it worked before.... can you identify what the address should be?....... I can access all info on the drives from my Mac...... Minimserve does not seem to like the directory for whatever reason....
Kind regards
Mark

It should be /Volumes/share-name/folder

Hi Stefano, Thank you........ This is what Ive Put in as the directory name, /volumes/LS220D9B2/FlacMusic
LS220D9B2 is the drive........ The same error message occurs....... should there be a change if it's a Mac?

Kind regards
Mark

Volumes must be written “Volumes” with beginning capital letter, don’t type the nas name or drive name but only the share name, then (as written before):
/Volumes/share-name/folder
This on Mac …

Can you post a screenshot from you Mac finder showing the Buffalo folders?
