    Hi Stefan
    Further to my post of the 18 May I have re-installed my setup using HiBerry card but with the remainder of the system remaining as with Audiophonics. The HDD was recognised without any problem. Would this indicate that there may be a problem with the Audiophonic Plugin?
    Regards

    Hi Stefan
    Thanks for explaining that the network path is only for Samba and Network connections.
    I tried disconnecting the HDD and reconnecting but it did not solve the problem.
    I have also installed a new image on a different manufacturers micro sd card and have removed the plugins I do not require i.e. Kodi/XMBC, WiFi/Lan, Accesspoint Setup, Jivelite, Bluetooth and DLNA Server. My connection is via Ethernet over the mains using Devolo adaptors. I would also note that the Audiophonics Sabre is part of there RASPDAC unit (not the mini). Currently I only have the power button running but not the display. I am not sure what you mean by ‚removing anything but the HDD‘ The only connections to the RASPDAC unit are ethernet, USB from HDD and incoming power. I have just powered up the RASPDAC and opened up Max2Play interface. Everything is running except HDD is still not recognised. Also checked Samba via Advanced IP Scanner and this shows up as connected. I have also tried two other HDD’s but result is the same although the indicating lights on all of them are operating.
    Regards

    Hi Stefan
    Thanks for you prompt response.
    I would confirm that I am connecting the HDD (Freecom) for use with the Logitech Media Server
    I don’t think the problem is with the power supply as I am using an Audiophonics linear power unit (25VA). I have also set the current output on the pi to 1.2 Amps.
    I previously used a similar arrangement with a HiFiBerry Digi+ and Raspberry Pi 3+ that was successfully operational for approx 4 Years using the same Freecom HDD. The network path for this setup was as follows – PATH UUID=263A36B23A367F3D MOUNTPOINT /mnt/exdrive TYPE nfs OPTIONS defaults,notail,iocharset=utf8
    Earlier today I reinstalled the Max2play image and added the network path as follows – PATH UUID=263A36B23A367F3D MOUNTPOINT /media/usb TYPE nfs OPTIONS defaults,nofail,iocharset=utf8. This displays ‚mountpoint successfully added’in the yellow information box.
    I have viewed ‚Network Mounting and SambaShares in Max2Play’s Filesystem Plugin‘ video. On my setup the section ‚External Drives on Max2play-Mountpoints for USB Storage‘ displays in bold font ‚No External Devices Found‘.
    Audioplayer and Multisqueeze are both running and Squeezebox Server (Version 8.2.0) is running and shows two players Max2play and Max2play_0 but a media scan does not find music on the usb HDD.
    Could there be anything missing in the Options part of the mountpoint?
    Regards
    Ken
