Mapping to a NAS for Media Content

Configuration
1

I’m trying to create a connection to a share on my NAS which contains MP3 files.

I created a shell_command in my configuration:

mount_soundfx: mkdir -p /media/soundfx;mount -t nfs4 192.168.1.140:/mnt/user/Media/familyMedia/soundFx /media/soundFx

Then I created an automation:

alias: Mount SoundFx
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: homeassistant
    event: start
condition: []
action:
  - service: shell_command.mount_soundfx
    data: {}
mode: single

As a result of this configuration, I now see the folder soundfx under the folder media which is in the root of the host system. When I go to the Media link in the HA UI sidebar, I can also see the soundfx folder under My Media. I can also add media using the “Manage” button from within the Media browser, but when I upload something it copies it to the actual folder that was created in the shell command and there doesn’t seem to be a connection to the actual NAS folder.

Any ideas on how to make this work?

I set up this

shell_command:
mount_media: mount -v -t cifs -o vers=1.0,noserverino,username=,pass=,domain=WORKGROUP,sec=ntlm //ip no/folder name

not sure if this is any help. Can’t help with the automation.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that for Samba?
