Set-Up - rja2409 - 2019-09-11

Hello,

I am a new user of Linux and am attempting to setup TMM.

On my server i had the windows portable version that was accessible on all windows devices and worked very well. 

I have downloaded the portable version of the linux TMM and this doesnt open on my server from the linux desktop however if i move the files to the desktop it does open and load. 

However i am unable to add the network share to TMM as the explorer doesnt show the share. 

Can anyone provide with some guidance to work this out and get it working or even get my working windows version running on linux?

Thanks

I'd suggest you to mount the share via fstab and use that mount point in tmm

Im using linux mint, it mounts on its own when i open the folder.

yeah this is probably gvfs and the mount point is hidden somewhere at /run/media/<username>/...

I have set up all shares from my NAS to be mounted at /media via /etc/fstab

Code:

//<ip_to_nas>/movies /media/movies cifs vers=3.0,username=guest,password=guest,_netdev,users,noauto 0 0
