Help needed NAS Vu+Duo2

[grantdavey91]

Hi all, apologies in advance if this is not where I am supposed to post this; I am new to this.
Please point me in right direction if this is wrong

Help much needed! I purchased my VU+ Duo2 box from WOS directly just over a week ago now; I am liking the extensive features that are customisable and enjoying playing around with it...HOWEVER...I need some help around accessing my NAS drive on my Vu+ box

Since around 11am this morning I have been trying to set this up.

I have a 3TB WD NAS Drive which is online all the time and has a local ip on my internet of 192.168.0.14

I have been reading absolutely hundreds of threads all over the internet today but I am still not having any luck.

I have tried going into Menu>Setup>Network>Mount Manager and adding my drive with all the relevant settings and IP address but my box displays an error which reads 'no such directory exists'

I have also tried installing Samba through Samba setup, my box shows a message telling me do I want to install, I say yes, the box restarts, but Samba is not there, so I go to Samba set-up again and it asks me to install again - so I did this another 2 times but its the same result each time.

I then tried a different way, I downloaded Samba IPK and FTP'd to my /tmp folder using filezilla, I then tried to install via Menu>Setup>Vix>ipkg-install, and I got this message:


"execution progress:

Collected errors:
*Satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following
dependencies for samba:
* libc6 (>= 2.10) * libpopt0 (>= 1.14) *
libreadline5 (>= 5.2) * ncures (>= 5.4) *
*opkg_install: cannot install package samba.
Installing samba (3.0.37-r0) on root.
Execution finished!!"

...So that didn't work either, I then thought I may be able to install from looking at downloadable plugins straight from the box, but now when I go into the plugins menu, I press Green to download plugins, and my box crashes and comes up with "we're really sorry" and restarts.

For the last 9 hours, no matter what I try, I cannot get access to my NAS drive on my Duo2, but I know the drive is working because I can access it from my phone and my Macbook.

So long story short I need to know now how I can stop my box from crashing when I want to go into downloadable plugins, and how I can access my movies from my NAS drive from my VU+ box.

Any help will be much appreciated and willing to make a donation to whoever is able to resolve!!

I have uploaded my latest 3 crash logs to this post if that helps...wait, scratch that, I have been searching for the past half hour where I can find the logs but I can't locate them, I have read they are normally in media/hdd or etc/enigma2 but I have just looked through every directory using filezilla and cannot seem to find any anywhere!!

I am losing my mind!

Many thanks in advance!!!

Have you tried mounting your NAS via Network Browser instead of mount manager?
Can you FTP into your box and post your automounts.xml?
Mounting a nas via cifs can be frustrating, if your NAS supports NFS and you can move your movies into an NFS share that would be easier I think.

hi there thank you for your reply; yes I have tried using network browser which gives the option to expand or collapse group but there are no files there, I left it for over an hour and nothing loaded, I have also made sure the credentials are all correct but still nothing.

I am not able to upload my automounts.xml because i cannot see any option to attach any files other than picture or video??

many thanks in advance

my automountsXML looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<mountmanager>
</mountmanager>
