Help with mounting windows shared drive for use by any app

Hi,
The goal is make my shared windows folder available on FireTV to be accessed by media applications. First attempt is for music

This is AFTV 1. It is rooted and has busybox. It has TWRP and 5.2.1.0_r1 pre-rooted stock image. I searched around and found couple of useful threads.

Run script on FireTV boot
mount cifs share from nas

Based on the first thread, I have created my script that I plan to run in /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

My current problem is that the script can be only run after I su (become root)
The script runs successfully, but the files are only available on adb shell or putty when I am root. They are not available to regular user or any apps.

Code:

---

#!/system/bin/sh

sleep 15
mkdir /mnt/obb/music
chmod 777 /mnt/obb/music

sleep 20
busybox mount -o noperm,unc=\\192.168.1.56\music,username=xx,password=xx -t cifs none /mnt/obb/music

---

Second problem is that when I restart firetv, this does not seem to have done anything. But I have the fix the first problem first. I need any of the apps to be able to access the mounted shared drive.

Thanks

ETA: post #10 in thread [Q] mounting a windows shared folder to android fs seems to be the same problem, but I did not understand the suggested solution

No Charging through USB or detect external USB pen drive

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum. I have an issue with the USB port on my Xperia Z3 tablet.
It won't charge through the USB port and is not detected by my PC, it also doesn't detect any USB pen / flash drives that are inserted. When the tablet is off and I plug in the charging / data cable a red light appears next to the Sony logo and the battery symbol shows on the middle of the screen but doesn't have the usual lightening bolt icon to indicated charging.
Just so you know I've tried multiple cables that work with my other Xperia tablet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Is my hard drive dying?

So I recently updated my shield pro to the latest release and afterwards I loaded the internal drive with a lot of content. I would say the drive went from being 30% full to 80% after I was done (mostly movies and TV shows).

Later that night the unit did a hard reboot and upon loading back up the main menu took a while to propagate the app icons and whatnot. However once it was done the experience seemed fine....until it rebooted again.... and randomly after that some more.

Right now I have it doing a "full" reset (says it could take 2 hours). We'll see what happens after that. I am not looking forward to reinstalling and copying everything back again.

[MARSHMALLOW] [6.0.1] Issue writing to External Hard Disk Drive [1TB]

The issue I'm facing is whenever I try to copy or paste a file/folder to my external HDD, I get an error "Unable to create the directory in...".
But, I'm able to copy content from my HDD to my Phone(Android device running Marshmallow). I'm also able to read every file. Not sure why moving files from phone to external HDD is causing a problem.
I'm attaching some screenshots for you to understand better.

Please help!

Empty drive when in MSC mode/ Fastboot problem

Hi guys,

Recently I've downgraded Acro S to 4.0.4 and yesterday I wanted to install CynogenMod 12 on it, but failed, as it seems to me the fastboot drivers are not installed correctly (and I don't know how and what to do about it). In MSC mode when connected to pc an empty semi-transparent drive occurs on My Computer. Can't get in (I can do pretty much nothing with it). When trying to get in the fastboot mode, the phone stays in fastboot mode for a 3-5 secs and then it continues to charge the battery as in usual mode. Therefore on pc in cmd it doesn't find fastboot devices and when entering other commands it says <waiting for device> or something. I tried 15 sec ADB installer - didn't help. Other adb and fastboot drivers too - didn't help. Could you help me guys? Thank you in advance!

BTW, I'm on Win 10, if it can solve the problem
