Connecting from OSX to the Samba MP3 share on Ubuntu crashes mp3fs about mp3fs HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for the report, and sorry for the inconvenience. Can you check what version of mp3fs you are using? If you run mp3fs --version on your Ubuntu machine the output should tell you.

I'd also be interested to see if the latest version has this problem, because when I try connecting over Samba with my own Mac I don't have the same problem.

Thanks for responding so quickly. I've installed mp3fs from the main Ubuntu 14.04 repositories (so I thought it must be fairly recent). mp3fs --version gives:

• mp3fs 0.32
• fuse/fusermount 2.9.2
• kernel interface 7.19

I now see that this is quite an old version because your website indicates 0.91. Is there an easy way to upgrade using apt?

There's isn't an easy way, unfortunately, you'll need to download and install from source. Follow that link, and the instructions should be in the INSTALL file. The short version is after unpacking and going into the extracted directory, you need to

sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev libflac++-dev libmp3lame-dev libid3tag0-dev
./configure
make
sudo make install

and the new version should be installed.

Thanks very much. I compiled to 0.91 and the problem is gone. So this issue was solved in a newer version. I will report some functional finding using it in a feature request item. Thanks again, Ralph

Glad to hear that it's resolved.
