Show blindeyeseesallunread, May 13, 2018, 11:20:50 AM5/13/18 to motioneye I noticed that when I have motionEyeOS installed, under File Storage->Storage Device I can select a network location. When I have motionEyes installed from Raspian and the pre-built deb package, I don't have that option. Is there any way to add this feature manually? Bruce Brannockunread, May 13, 2018, 3:26:04 PM5/13/18 to motioneye Perhaps they're assuming that you would set up your network share Within raspbian itself and then do custom path however that is a bummer sorry to hear that. That is my motionEyeOS which is running on a pi 3 I got curious and wanted to see. Bruce Brannockunread, May 14, 2018, 3:31:09 PM5/14/18 to motioneye So you got me wondering I installed Raspbian Lite and then installed motionEye the same way you did with
the pre-built Debian package for the pi I'm going to see if I can do it. I have openmediavault on another Raspberry Pi that I have network sharing setup SMB/CIFS but that is interesting I was assuming which assuming is wrong that all the features would be the same in the motionEye interface. However I am cheating I also installed Webmin to make the process easier.

I follow discussions on this forum and try to come up with short and helpful answers, when I can.

BlogQuestion Trouble Connecting MotionEye OS (Raspberry Pi 3) to Network Share on FreeNAS 11.2

I installed MotionEye OS 4.1.1 on my Raspberry Pi 3. I have FreeNAS 11.2 that I would like to save motion events to. Initially I was thinking of just mounting an nfs share to /home/nfs and specifying the storage device as a custom path to /home/nfs. When I run mount
-t nfs <serverIP>:/mnt/MotionEye /home/nfs/ OR mount <serverIP>:/mnt/MotionEye /home/nfs/ the command just hangs. If I delete the nfs share and try and mount, I get a "failed: Permission denied" error, and in FreeNAS I see a "mount request denied..." error. But with the share created, motion eye hangs and FreeNAS says nothing. So
I thought I would use an SMB share. I created the share in FreeNAS with the name MotionEye. I get an error in motioneye.log ERROR: failed to mount smb share "//<ServerIP>/MotionEye" at "/data/media/motioneye_<ServerIP> _motioneye_motioneye" I've looked at about all the settings I'm familiar with. Is there anything obvious that I'm missing? Edit* It's working now. Not sure why, everything looks the same as when I was having trouble. Jan 13, 2011 14,023 434

I figured it would be easiest to get SMB working with Windows, like you said. Once I saw the server from File Explorer, I went back to MotionEye and it worked right away.
