Two Duo2s Not Talking to Each Other

[Huevos]

Are we still using "master" and "slave" in 2024?

The sending box is the "server" and the receiving box is the "client".

Might still be using it in 2025 also as i forget a lot

Wrong thread, sorry

Hi Willo
I’ve modified and applied your automounts.xml to reflect the settings in my system but it still returns with Directory: /media/autofs/vu87/ does not exist. I can drill down using either Filezilla or the native Win 11network and see that all these directories do exist.

The problem seems to be with the “Location” function trying to access the Autofs directory. I suspect there’s a corruption in the Autofs directory in the Flash Memory and no amount of flash installation or restore or factory reset will correct.

However, the boxes are at least eight years old so probably time for an upgrade.

Hi Bellejt

I've already done that but it still comes back withirectory: /media/autofs/vu87/ does not exist.

See my reply to Willo.
Thanks for your time
David

look #12 and if you setup the mount as asked it is not possible to have autofs.

If I look at the autofs directory from my computer, it's empty, but all the shares are accessible from the e2 box.

Using DreamExplorer all mounts are present.

I don't use an FTP client to access my files from windows, I just install samba on the box and use windows explorer.

I've revisited post #12 and tried the remounts as you suggested. However, the mount will not work unless I use Autofs. I've tried Mount using Enigma 2, And the old Enigma Linux mount.

Have you tried just allocating one of the coloured buttons in movie player to the share on the other box?
Mine works fine.

I can see the Mounts - all there.

[Davidtjm]

Eventually found out the cause of the problem - me!

I had set up Mount Manager correctly on the Main Menu>Setup>Network>Mounts>Browse network neighbourhood>MOUNT MANAGER.

However, on the pre-screen, the Browse Network neighbourhood: "Main Menu>Setup>Network>Mounts>Browse network neighbourhood", I had left the screen blank rather than keying in the IP address etc., of the remote box using the Expert option (blue).
When I set this up, everything worked fine.

Thanks for your suggestions (and your patience!), guys.
