Description Leonidas Tsampros 2012-02-04 10:15:20 UTC

Version:           2.5.0 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

NFS Dynamic collection plugin fails to detect NFS mount.

The mount is configured in fstab as:
192.168.1.68:/multimedia               /mnt    nfs     user,rw       0         0

I mounted the share through Dolphin successfully but Amarok fails to detect this NFS mount point. Other plugins seem to work. other usb mass storage devices are detected successfully.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Happens always even with the NFS share mounted/unmounted. I have tried restarting Amarok.

Actual Results:  
The NFS mount point is not listed under the Local Sources.

Expected Results:  
The NFS mount should have appeared under the local sources if mounted since it exists in fstab.

Change GUI strings in Configuration dialog to reduce user confusion

This is a result of a dialogue with an Amarok user (Leonidas Tsampros)
on #amarok who (logically) thought that if he enables "NFS Device" in
"Devices" section of Amarok plugins, NFS will pop-up as another
collection.

This is not how SMB, NFS, MassStorage "Devices" work currently, they
are meant to enable users to have a part of their collection on
respective devices.

I believe that the old plugin names and descriptions are confusing to
the extent that their translations should be dropped; it should be a
plenty of time till Amarok 2.6 so translators should have opportunity
to pickup these. (or, do .desktop translations get erased automatically
when original string changes?)

CHANGES:
 * "Devices" in Amarok configuration -> Plugins is with other related strings
   renamed to "Local Collection Backends" to reduce user confusion.

I too use NFS share for music and Amarok 2.8.0 and I don't find my NFS folders anywhere in there. Is there some plugin needed for it?

Please read the commit message in Comment #1: it will not show up as a separate collection, you can enable the NFS mounts to be added to the collection, provided those are mounted.

FWIW: I have a samba share that I added to my collection, NFS should work exactly the same way.

Comment 6 Silver Salonen 2014-01-30 15:51:31 UTC

I can't see it as a separate collection.

Of course not, that never was shown as a separate collection.
