Hello everybody. I just connected a usb stick with some music directly to the RPi 4 that is running home assistant. I can figure out where it is mounted. How can I access that usb drive? I want to add it to music assistant. Thanks in advance

Technically this is not supported. It is not automatically mounted. You either have to use UDEV rules or the CLI.

Oh, I didn’t know… thanks for clarification. I was under the assumption this is one of the recommended ways to getting music to show up in music assistant server. Thx for letting me know. Will search for the correct commands for CLI then

There's a few different ways to achieve this: https://www.google.com/search?q=home+assistant+mount+usb+media

Okay, maybe I can just use our FritzBox! Router and enable samba service to share a connected usb drive… it seems to work with a low capacity usb stick. Shows up in Music Assistant and allows for playback on our Samsung The Frame… but I am not sure what protocol is now being used internally…
