Volumio Raspberry Pi 2 My Book Live Help

EYEREX · 12 Feb 2015 at 16:08

Hello all i got myself a Pi 2 and installed Volumio which is plugged into my HiFi, everything works ok and can playback music from a USB Dongle plus use the Pi 2 as a playback device within iTunes only problem i'm having is adding my WD My Book Live network drive to Volumio

In the Remote directory i've added the folder on the My Book live as file://mybooklive/Public/Shared%20Music/Music/ just not sure if that looks right or i'm doing something wrong as Volumio can't find it :confused:

After sending all afternoon trying to get Volumio to find my network drive i changed the Remote directory to Public/Shared Music/ and it worked

This is interesting; I have a Sony CMT-MX550i and a Raspberry Pi which is just gathering dust.

I've also got a MBL which I use. Does this work well now then? Tempted to try this myself.

It's the best thing ever

I can control with any device ie iPad, PC or any phone via browser or if i have iTunes running on PC i can send audio to the Pi plus send any thing from my iPad to the Pi direct

Sound quality isn't to bad but getting a HiFiberry DAC to give it a boost
