My current favourite distro is gentoo. I same from slackware, so that should not be too difficult a route to figure. Apart from the draw of packages customized to squeeze the processor, there is the customization. And with all this, it still workds amazingly well.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I have my mp3s on a fileserver. Before, using xmms, i could just browse them, and play. But xmms is going away.. gentoo says it has too many bugs, and no maintainer. So I tried amarok. Its good, apart from going off in the trees sometimes updating it’s ‘collection’.<\/p>\n

But getting it to see the files on the share was a trial. First using a samba share; nothing. It could be the mp3 tags, because it could see a few directories, but no. It was permissions.<\/p>\n

I found this that spilled the beans<\/a>. Ok so it didn’t quite work out, but it pointed the way.<\/p>\n

I have been playing around with fuse, and with this line did the trick:
\n
\n sshfs -C -o uid=1000,gid=100,ro myserver:\/my\/music\/share \/mnt\/local
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

I pointed amarok at \/mnt\/local, and it works!<\/p>\n

What can I say? (Except the collection scanning code is far too picky).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
