Disk Mount
The player provides automatic USB Disk mounting functionality. USB hard or flash drive should be just connected either directly or through the hub to the spare USB connector. The player will automatically mount a disk and all files on that disk will be available for playback.
The following Web UI (Configuration/Disk Mount) provides ability to define disk mounting settings (the image shows the default settings):
- Mount at Startup - when selected will mount all detected disks on player startup.
- Mount at Plug - when selected all disks plugged during runtime will be automatically mounted.
- Read-only - when selected will mount all disks in read-only mode.
- Mount Point - defines the mount point where player will mount disks.
- Mount Options - Linux specific mounting options, should be left untouched in most cases.
The same settings can be defined in the configuration file (/home/pi/Peppy/config.txt) directly:
[disk.mount]
mount.at.startup = True
mount.at.plug = True
mount.read.only = True
mount.point = /home/pi/music
mount.options = uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=000,fmask=333
In addition to the automatic disk mounting the player provides Web UI for manual disks mounting/unmounting/poweroff. The UI located under the System/Disk Manager menu. By default all mounted disks will be displayed in the list which shows disks' names and status (Mounted/Unmounted).
Each item in the list can be expanded to see more disk details:
A disk which is currently in use cannot be unmouted/powered off.
