Network absolute path
I am very much a newbie to the world of Linux, and I would love to know if anyone can enlighten me about network absolute paths.
I have just got a Raspberry Pi and installed Minimserver and Minimstreamer. BBC Radio HLS AAC streams are working fine with the ContentDir in the suggested absolute path, on the micro SD card.
When I try to add another ContentDir pointing to a WD My Cloud NAS where the music library is, I get an error message such as 'Not an absolute path' or 'invalid file name' when I copy the path from the Pi File Explorer to the field or with just about any combination I can think of. The network is a Windows network.
I know that trying to use an NAS as the source of the music files may be a bit shaky, because of the heavy network load that would be involved. For the moment, I'm resorting to a USB hard drive plugged into the Pi as the music library.
Any help or comments such as 'don't go there!!!' would be greatly appreciated!
