Mounting a Network location within Home Assistant

[vk2him]

Music Assistant (MA) will play music that is located in your Home Assistant /media directory, including local files that are actually within Home Assistant, or Files in a Network location. It's easy to get MA to play music from a Network Location, perhaps on a NAS or a Network drive, by mounting that network location using SMB. MA will then "see" the music and you'll be able to play it.

Doing this is a three step process 1) Create a mount command in configuration.yaml and then 2) mount it via an automation. Modify the following example to suit your environment. 3) Configure MA via the Integration to use this network location

Notes:

1. In my example following, I'll be mounting a music folder that's shared on my Synology NAS
2. Replace //192.168.1.252/music with the network path to your files
3. Note that you must use the ip address and not a host name to avoid potential dns failures, i.e, don't use //synology.local/music
4. The above path will be mounted to the directory /media/nasfiles - (change as needed)
5. You can add multiple Network mounts if required
6. Note some older network devices use an older version of SMB - the example below uses vers=3.0. If you’re unable to see your music then try vers=1.0 or vers=2.1 instead of vers=3.0
7. Restart Home Assistant after adding the new code

Check configuration.yaml for the following line - if it doesn't exist then insert it

automation: !include automations.yaml

Place this code in configuration.yaml to mount the share:

# For mounting SMB Network media
# Note - if the mount doesn't work, substitute vers=3.0 with  vers=1.0 or vers=2.1
shell_command:
  mount_nas_folder: mkdir -p /media/nasfiles;mount -t cifs -o vers=3.0,noserverino,username=nasusername,password=naspassword,domain=WORKGROUP //192.168.1.252/music /media/nasfiles

Put this automation code in automations.yaml (create automations.yaml if it doesn't exist)

- id: "mount_nas"
  alias: Mount Synology Music Folder
  description: Mounts for use with Music Assistant 
  trigger:
    - platform: homeassistant
      event: start
  condition: []
  action:
    - service: shell_command.mount_nas_folder
      data: {}

After adding the above code, restart Home Assistant and you should be able to see the nasfiles folder in the Media browser. Note - if you're unable to see nasfiles , try using a different SMB version.

If you're able to see your music as above, you can now configure MA via its Integration configuration dialogue

[Mariusthvdb]

yes. works nicely indeed.
let me add 3 things:

• folder with spaces: can be used when quoting the full path like
  "//192.168.1.81/Mp3/Klassiek/Richard Wagner"
• ofc, note this is case sensitive

3rd, I made the the directory in the /media folder by hand, and a factual folder. Thought it to be more efficient than doing so in the shell_command, that now only has to take care of the mounting.

• so using

mount -t cifs -o vers=3.0,noserverino,username=xxx,password=xxx,domain=WORKGROUP "//192.168.1.81/Mp3/Klassiek/Richard Wagner" /media/music/nas/mp3/Wagner```

[ik0adr]

Hi all.
I was finally able to mount my network music files to /mnt/Music/Elements/music, restarted HA, but after a long time MA icons are still greyed up.
Am I missing something?
Thanks..

[vk2him]

Hi all. I was finally able to mount my network music files to /mnt/Music/Elements/music, restarted HA, but after a long time MA icons are still greyed up. Am I missing something? Thanks..

Did you enter that path into the Home Assistant integration configuration?
Here's mine setup for my mount at /media/nvr

[Coolie1101]

I made the the directory in the /media folder by hand

Hey @Mariusthvdb,
Any idea why "/media/music/Music On NAS/Easy" doesn't work?, but "/media/music/nas/easy" works, I created the directory's manually.

mount_nas_folder: mount -t cifs -o vers=3.0,noserverino,username=admin,password=password,domain=WORKGROUP "//192.168.200.9/music/easy" "/media/music/Music On NAS/Easy"

I would like the folder structure to be media>Music On NAS>Easy

[vk2him]

It doesn't like the spaces in the name "/media/music/Music On NAS/Easy"

When not use this instead? ""/media/music/Music_On_NAS/Easy"

[Coolie1101]

When not use this instead?

That's what I ended up doing, but was hoping to have it without the underscores for a cleaner look.

[OzGav]

This is great so thanks. I also have Spotify as a source and when I view my local media it is then duplicated by Spotify entries. Is this a feature? If so can it be filtered out? I wondered if the icons in the top right might do that but clicking on them appears to not do anything even thought they are clickable?

[marcelveldt]

Please do not hide support requests within a feature request, that is really hard to follow.

[OzGav]

Sorry @marcelveldt I was thinking I was missing something so went for a quick response. I didn't want to increase what I assume is a high workload by creating another post. Will do next time though. Thanks so much for creating this!

[marcelveldt]

If your music is properly tagged, the same artist/album/track on multiple sources will be matched and not duplicated.
So if you have for example music from Queen both on disk and Spotify, you will see just one entry for Queen.

The icons in the top right of a listing are meant for filtering the listings. In your case you say they're not working so that would be either a bug or an issue with your browser. Please create an issue report for so we can have a look. Thanks!

[marcelveldt]

Sorry @marcelveldt I was thinking I was missing something so went for a quick response. I didn't want to increase what I assume is a high workload by creating another post. Will do next time though. Thanks so much for creating this!

I can improve the software by solving bugs and implement features that are appreciated by many users. So no worries about creating those issues and requests. Just save me the time to not have to wade through comments to find out what needs to be solved ;-) Thanks!

Hello,
I could attach my NAS to /media/nasfile
I specifyed /media/nasfile in the config file:

I can navigate inside with : multimedia / local media / nasfile / Boston (old group in the 80's) all is fine.

when I go in music assistant as follow:
left pannel : Music Assistant
URL displayed http://homeassistant:8123/music-assistant
are displayed 5 icons: artists - albums - tracks - playlists - radio But nothing moves, even the cursor on the tiles.

left pannel : multimedia / music assistant
URL http://homeassistant:8123/media-browser/browser/app,media-source://mass/music,media-source://mass/artists
displayed 5 icons: artists - albums - tracks - playlists - radio stations I can go in each icon, but they are all empty...

Check "Enable filesystem provider" right above the path...

[bentouspam]

Dank U Marcel.
I did it, I restart the RPI and... same thing occurs.

same behaviour with Microsoft Edge Version 103.0.1264.37 (Official version) (64 bits) and Chrome Version 103.0.5060.66 (official Build) (64 bits) in both http and https via nabu casa.

[OzGav]

I can navigate inside with : multimedia / local media / nasfile / Boston (old group in the 80's) all is fine.

The path you have written above is not the same as what is in your image. In your image you show \media\nasfiles The two paths must be EXACTLY the same

[bentouspam]

let's retry:

here are my parameters:

(Spotify is not enabled, because it is a free account and it doesn't word with MA)
my nasfile is correct, I can browse it from Multimedia with local media

accessing music assistant from multimedia, all is empty:

direct from Music Assistant, the image is like this, I cannot go further.

[OzGav]

Thanks. Have a look at your logs for an error. I see you have #recycle as a directory. When I had that MA failed to load because it couldn't get access to that directory.

[bentouspam]

You are right, there is an error with the recycle file

[OzGav]

Yep exactly the same as mine (same NAS as well!). I just turned off recycling for that share. @marcelveldt might be able to make a change so permission denied gets ignored?

[marcelveldt]

can you please create an issue for that ? I am without-a-doubt going to forget that otherwise ;-)
Just a bug report that the fileprovider sync crashes on a folder it can't access (recycle)... Thanks!

[OzGav]

https://github.com/music-assistant/hass-music-assistant/issues/563

[bentouspam]

I removed the #recycle directory, restart the HA.
the indexation is running !!!

one thing is "funny":
when I go in an album and then I go back using my mouse "back" button, it add a new left pannel...

same thing with the Crtl-left arrow ot the back button of the browser.
with the back button on the HA screen, it works fine.

[vk2him]

It's on the Music Assistant discord server

[marcelveldt]

You can't use the browser back button with the MA panel. That's why the MA panel has its own back button.
This is something to fix some day but requires some tinkering and adjustments to HA frontend.

[bentouspam]

It start again, all the Music assistant part is empty... since 2022.7 update

but multimedia / local media is still there.

no music assistant log either.

[vk2him]

@bentouspam

Do you see the small white heart at the top right side? Try clicking that and I'd bet your music will appear ....

[bentouspam]

you are a wizard Ian!!!
I hadn't even seen that little white heart...

a little onMouseOver could help non initiated or ignorant people.
I love this new interface, nice job !!!

[Waggers58]

Little problem here. I think Marcel suggested you could use this method to mount the files from multiple network locations. Darned if I can work out how to do so.

[OzGav]

I assume you would setup directories below a top level "nasfiles" (or whatever you name it) directory and then setup multiple mount commands and attach each mount point to a different directory. MA should then scan down through all the directories and come up with a consolidated library?

[Waggers58]

Well thanks OzGav for the suggestion. I thought I'd tried that before but I tried again:

For mounting Network media

shell_command:
mount_nas_folder: mkdir -p /config/media/nasfiles/flac;mount -t cifs -o vers=3.0,noserverino,username=,password=,domain=WORKGROUP "//192.168../flac music" /config/media/nasfiles/flac
mount_nas2_folder: mkdir -p /config/media/nasfiles/mp3;mount -t cifs -o vers=3.0,noserverino,username=,password=,domain=WORKGROUP "//192.168../lossy music" /config/media/nasfiles/mp3

I duplicated the automation code for nas2 and it all works. Just couldn't get the syntax right before.

Now I can load my whole music collection, all 2000 albums, into MA.

Hopefully the library is stored somewhere so I don't have to reload it every time I start HA.

[OzGav]

Great! For others and just in case you didn't do this shortcut. This should work:

- id: "mount_nas"
  alias: Mount Synology Music Folder
  description: Mounts for use with Music Assistant 
  trigger:
    - platform: homeassistant
      event: start
  action:
    - service: shell_command.mount_nas_folder
    - service: shell_command.mount_nas2_folder

[aquavass]

Music Assistant (MA) will play music that is located in your Home Assistant /media directory, including local files that are actually within Home Assistant, or Files in a Network location. It's easy to get MA to play music from a Network Location, perhaps on a NAS or a Network drive, by mounting that network location. MA will then "see" the music and you'll be able to play it.

Doing this is a two step process 1) Create a mount command in configuration.yaml and then 2) mount it via an automation. Modify the following to suit your environment.

Note:

1. Replace //192.168.1.252/music with the network path to your files
2. The above path will be mounted to the following directory (change as needed) /media/nasfiles
3. You can have multiple Network mounts if required
4. Restart Home Assistant after adding the new code

Place this code in configuration.yaml:

# For mounting Network media
shell_command:
  mount_nas_folder: mkdir -p /media/nasfiles;mount -t cifs -o vers=3.0,noserverino,username=nasusername,password=naspassword,domain=WORKGROUP //192.168.1.252/music /media/nasfiles

Put this automation code in automations.yaml

- id: "mount_nas"
  alias: Mount Synology Music Folder
  description: Mounts for use with Music Assistant 
  trigger:
    - platform: homeassistant
      event: start
  condition: []
  action:
    - service: shell_command.mount_nas_folder
      data: {}

Now when you restart Home Assistant (and using the above example) your Network music will be visible in /media/nasfiles and MA will automatically index it allow you to play.

Hi, I tried the mount command but received the following message.... mount: /media/Music/Rox_Music: cannot mount //192.168.1.80/music read-only. I checked permissions both on the NAS and local Hoe Assistant host and should be OK? Has anyone had this issue... any thoughts?

[OzGav]

Hi. This doesn’t seem to be MA question so you might get better responses on a Linux forum or maybe HA forums? Sorry I can’t be more help.

[aquavass]

All fixed, I was testing at terminal to see if it works. Worked as per yr steps

[OzGav]

Did you try pressing the heart top right?

[Simonthorsted]

THANKS for this ,it works great ,but when i add media its says uploading were does it then add the files to ??? im on a unraid virtuel VM and cant fit all my mp3`s , but is it only the info about the music (meta data) or the acutely files i was hoping music assistent are streaming the files not copying the files to its local drive (i have a LOT ;-) )

[No-Idea-76]

Any Help,

I'm pulling my hair out. I have an SSD plugged into my router. I have tried everything above with network share addresses and ftp addresses and can't get it to work.

[vk2him]

@No-Idea-76
Take it step by step - the first step is being able to access that ssd from your network - what is the url to access the ssd? If your router has ip address of 192.168.1.1 for example, the url will be something like http://192.168.1.1/share if you use a browser or //192.168.1.1/share with other methods. Once you can access the ssd from your network, that's the url you use in the examples above. In theory, you should be able to view that shared ssd from your file explorer under networks if you use windows, or in finder under network if you use a mac.

On my network I have three routers and each has an ssd connected - you can see them in this (mac) screenshot - they start with rt-ac68u-xxx or rt-ac-86u-xx with a sharename starting with Entware. You must be able to see your ssd in the same way before you can use it.

[No-Idea-76]

In Windows it's \\tp-share\G\Music

[vk2him]

@No-Idea-76
Ok - I'm wondering if you're using the windows syntax for network resources in your mount command as windows uses \ while unix uses /. I also wonder if you have the automation setup correctly?

To verify, your next steps in order are:

Copy/paste here your mount command that lives in configuration.yaml - note you must use the tp-share's ip address and not the name tp-share in the mount command and you have to use / and not \ . Assuming your tp-share router has an ip address 192.168.1.1 your mount command should look like this (replace your username/password and correct ip address of course):

Note!!! There is a space between WORKGROUP //192.168.1.1/g/music and /media/music - this catches a lot of people out. I recommend you copy/paste my code then modify only your username/password and ip address.

# Mount command For mounting Network media. Put in configuration.yaml
shell_command:
  mount_music_folder: mkdir -p /media/music;mount -t cifs -o vers=3.0,noserverino,username=tp-share_username,password=tp-share_password,domain=WORKGROUP //192.168.1.1/g/music /media/music 

Next, copy/paste here your automation that lives in automations.yaml. Assuming you used my exact example above, it will look like this:

# Automation for mounting music - put in automations.yaml 
- id: "mount_music"
  alias: Mount tp-share Music Folder
  description: Mounts for use with Music Assistant 
  trigger:
    - platform: homeassistant
      event: start
  condition: []
  action:
    - service: shell_command.mount_music_folder
      data: {}

Next, please verify you have this command in configuration.yaml as this tells HA to use the above automation

automation: !include automations.yaml

Next, after restarting your HA you should be able to browse the tp-share/g/music directory from within Home Assistant using "Media" from the left column of Home Assistant. Chose Local media first, then you should see your Music share - this is what mine looks like. What do you see?

Finally, if you can see your music under Media then it will work in Music Assistant by enabling filesystem provider in the MA integration configuration as follows:

[No-Idea-76]

Thanks for helping, still no luck.

A folder has appeared in the local media folder in the media browser called "music" but nothing in it, or the "nasfiles" folder

I copied your code and changed it to suit

shell_command: mount_music_folder: mkdir -p /media/music;mount -t cifs -o vers=3.0,noserverino,username=admin,password=admin,domain=WORKGROUP //192.168.0.1/g/music /media/music
I have used admin/admin just as an example

This is the setup in my router

and

I have tried changing the case of the drive letter to G and folder to Music and tried that in quotes as someone suggested further back in this post. I wonder if it's TP Link being rubbish.

I access this drive using samba backup so it is reachable via HA.

[vk2him]

@No-Idea-76 - if HA can access it for Samba backup then it will also work for music - can you go into the configuration for Samba backup and click the three dots to select "Edit in YAML" - what do you have under

host: 
share: 
target_dir: 

[No-Idea-76]

I have

host: 192.168.0.1 share: G target_dir: habkp

[vk2him]

That's basically what you have in the mount command - Are there any errors in the logs - after restarting HA or when you try to click on music in the media browser?

[No-Idea-76]

Yeah,

[vk2him]

I can see an issue with what you're doing. Did you notice it's trying to mount //192.168.0.1/g - it should be //192.168.0.1/g/music

Double check the mount command as it needs to be

# Mount command For mounting Network media. Put in configuration.yaml

[vk2him]

Absolutely - replace vers=3.0 with 1.0 and it should work

mount_music_folder: mkdir -p /media/music;mount -t cifs -o rw,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,vers=1.0,noserverino,username=tp-share_username,password=tp-share_password,domain=WORKGROUP //192.168.1.1/g/music /media/music 

[No-Idea-76]

Success

Damned TP Link

[No-Idea-76]

Thanks for your help, and I hope this can help anyone else with this quirk. FYI I tried this in terminal first and it didn't work in that but obviously did in config .yaml.

I guess I will find out how badly these files are tagged now.

[vk2him]

Phew - what a marathon - lol

[No-Idea-76]

Yes, it's just simple (???) linux as that's what HA runs on ..

OK, I have no experience of any of this, just checking as I see things like python, jinja, yaml, json, etc. I like to learn these things so not so simple to me. I know where to look now, I found a cheat sheet so I can look and reverse engineer that line.

I really do appreciate this help as I would to go beyond the UI (within reason).

👌

[geiseri]

I am not sure this will actually solve the issue since I assume you would need to implement all the file stuff, but could https://pysmb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ be helpful? It seems that the HA maintainers refuse to even entertain this feature, so it might be your only hope. Cool addon though!

[marcelveldt]

Yes, we have a feature request for the direct "remote files" access such as SMB.
I've already largely prepared the universal support for that so one day this will/can happen. The pysmb library would then be the first start, just need to wrap it async.

[fribse]

I've gotten this set up as well, but as I allow nfs access to the QNAP NAS, and limit the access on IP, I don't use username/password, and my shell command looks like this instead:

shell_command:
  mount_nas_folder: mkdir -p /media/nasfiles;mount -t nfs -o ro,vers=4,timeo=15,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,async,nofail,bg NAS-IP:/Multimedia/MP3 /media/nasfiles

It seems to work fine, it's the same access I've setup for my plex :-) (I would prefer doing it through plex, but this is a great intermediate soludion)

[fribse]

After recent updates I can't get the mount to work, via CIFS or NFS.

[OzGav]

What recent updates? MA hasn’t been updated for a while now. Also FYI the next version of MA is planned to support local files natively.

[fribse]

Home Assistant updates and NAS updates

[OzGav]

Still working fine for most people so likely a NAS update. You will have to read through this thread as there a bunch of options in the mount command for you to try adjusting.

[fribse]

I'm seeing something really weird now, if I try to mount the NAS with NFS through the 'Terminal & SSH' addon, it fails with a permission denied. If I try to mount it through the community addon 'SSH & Web terminal' it works.
So after that worked, I tried putting the command in the automation for startup, and now it works again:

shell_command:
  mount_nas_folder: mkdir -p /media/nasfiles;mount -t nfs4 -o ro IP-FOR-NAS:/Multimedia  /media/nasfiles

This is really weird, no updates on the NAS, but of course updates in HA...

[OzGav]

OK sounds good in that it is working for you but you will be best to ask about this in their support areas if you wanted further clarification as to what is happening...,

[oneofthemany]

This is why running in a container is better as you can network mount the shared drive and then simply use -v to map the outside:/inside within the build config

[Coolie1101]

@vk2him
Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.

[egaryw2011]

Hi, I have spent a lot of time trying to get this to work with my Synology NAS, home assistant media give me an error of "Invalid JSON in response" in the media sidebar any clues anyone?

[vk2him]

You'll need to give us more info please - show your configuration.yaml code for the mount and automation to load it - does the mount work and are there any relevant logs

[yestrdave]

Guys I have hours in trying to get this mount to work. I have tried everything I can think of any ideas?

[OzGav]

I will have a look at this later unless someone else helps out but the notification email of this post had the non redacted version of your image with your passwords exposed so you might want to change that….

[OzGav]

However the error is permission denied so I would be checking the login credentials closely. Maybe make up a temporary login with simple five letter login and password and see if that will work.

[yestrdave]

Thank you for reply. I reloaded MA and started over. I got it to work.

[egaryw2011]

Sorry, here is more info;
I am able to log into the NAS using the credentials in the cript and access the music folder.
The Nasfiles directory is visable in the HA media, however get the jason error once i go into the folder
I am able to access the music folder via my mac SMB.
