MAN! you were right! it doesnt work in CLI for soem daft reason been needlessly chasing my own tail…
@insajd original method works i was just being an idiot!
For anyone else who may be in the same boat as me this is where i went wrong, didnt understant how the media browser works!
So missing the following in my configuration.yaml
homeassistant:
media_dirs:
recordings: /mnt/media2
Once I added the above and ran my shell:
shell_command:
mount_cctv_media_folder: mount -t cifs -o username=USER,password=PASSWORD,domain=WORKGROUP //192.168.1.20/nvr-cctv /mnt/media2
It all appeared in the media browser!!
Sorry for waisting your time guys, and appreciate the support
