Hi all,
I was hoping someone might be able to help me with regards to the above combination.
I have successfully installed PMS onto a Raspberry Pi2 with the assistance of the excellent walkthrough hosted on this site, so thanks to the authors for that.
My issue now stands with this PMS setup's inability to locate or recognise the MyBookLive that contains my media. I am under the impression that I need to permanently mount the MyBookLive in order for it to be selected when adding media to PMS, but as someone who is pretty poor/average with Terminal commands and the like, I'm finding it nigh on impossible to complete this seemingly straightforward process & I was hoping a kind soul might be able to offer some guidance?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

I am assuming the share on your MyBook Live is samba, this (slightly old) guide should do the trick, if anything is unclear I can help you troubleshoot and will probably update that guide.

Thank you very much indeed. Be prepared for a heap of simple questions!
First question, regarding the 3rd step, I presume I should be populating some of the entries with details specific to my system? Such as sharename etc, are you able to confirm what I should be inserting throughout this step?
I'm now getting the following error for Step 3:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.5]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
I'm using a Mac with Terminal, I'm not sure if that is of any relevance.

It looks like I've managed to get this sorted, somehow. Everything appears to be in order so far, thanks for your assistance.

I got a little lost in the guide to be honest, I ended up mounting the drive as a guest & that seemed to do it.
I've run into a stack of issues since though, I don't seem to be able to make this work at all.
I've waited pretty much all day for my music library to scan, only to find heaps of issues. The metadata is patchy at best & seems to stop from the letter B onwards.
I am also unable to play anything, if I hit play for an album, it does everything except play! I honestly can't figure out what is going on.
Any suggestions on how I go about fixing/forcing/repairing the metadata issue? I fear I'm going to have to reindex the library....

OK, have you checked how much space is left on the Pi? Metadata can take up a surprising amount of space.
I personally don't use Plex for music but do know others have had issues with it. In my brief tests with a few songs it worked but that doesn't reflect a proper music library.
You can do a force refresh for the music library and see if it helps

Thanks again for your help.
df -h offers me the following:
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 1.7G 1.7G 0 100% /
devtmpfs 483M 0 483M 0% /dev
tmpfs 98M 356K 97M 1% /run
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 195M 8.0K 195M 1% /run/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p1 48M 20M 29M 41% /boot
tmpfs 195M 0 195M 0% /tmp
It's a 32GB SD card which I hoped would be sufficient as I'm only using this for music. The refresh doesn't seem to do anything, it states that it is downloading metadata/updating artist, but nothing changes.

Here's your issue, you have used 1.7GB out of 1.7GB
Code:
/dev/root 1.7G 1.7G 0 100% /
You need to run raspi-config and expand the sd card to fill the sd card

Bah! I wondered if it might be something simple/daft! I've expanded the card via raspi-config, fingers crossed!
