Anyone gotten this to work with a cifs mount? #11

Closed 1dollarbob closed 5 years ago

I love the idea of this module, and it works great with a local directory. I mounted a shared directory and pointed the imagePaths to the mount point, and all I get is a black background. I've tried playing with permissions and paths, but haven't had any luck. Any ideas on why this is happening or how to better debug?

Doing some debug, the problem is not in this module - I can see the browser doing a get for the file with the right file name, but the file is not provided by the web server. I'm still looking for a way to fix it.

I had this working with a file share, but it seemed to get disconnected a lot. I now have it running in docker on my server and my Raspberry pi running in client only mode which is working great.

Where are you defining your share at? I believe it needs to be within the modules folder, otherwise the web server can't get to it.

I had it in ~/MagicMirror/media, once I moved it to ~/MagicMirror/modules/media it worked.

Thank you!
