Can't add files from USB

[toby1kenobi]

I couldn’t get Volumio (on my Raspberry Pi B) to reliably play files from my (SMB-mounted) NAS over wi-fi, so I’ve tried plugging a 64GB USB memory stick into it instead. If I SSH to the Pi and do ‘df -h’, I see the USB mounted as /mnt/USB, however I can’t find a way in Volumio to add the files stored there to Volumio’s library. What am I doing wrong? If I go to ‘Library’ there’s an option to mount a NAS, and that’s it.

Thanks,

Toby

PS Tried searching for related info in this forum, the forum config seems broken though (it won’t let me search for ‘USB’, or ‘usb library’, or whatever).

Try it with a smaller Usb stick (GB size). Boot Volumio with the USB stick already inserted, update the library and try it first with only a few music files.

Should work, try it again

Thanks for your replay, I’ll give that a try.

Re: forum search, if I search for (for example), “usb library”, it tells me:

The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: library usb.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.
