Im running CumulusMX and YAAC on a separate 3B+ Raspberry Pi's, Ive set up samba on the Cumulus pi and have the wxnow.txt located in that share. I can access the wxnow file from my YAAC file manager and also from a windows machine but i dont believe YAAC is recognizing the path as it remains red. Perhaps im simply not qualifying the path correctly.?
Could someone please provide some guidance on this. The path is as follows:
//weatherpi.local/share

Thank you in advance,?

Can you access the file from a command shell using a simple 'cat' command? YAAC does not understand network paths. It has to be a file on a filesystem mounted on the computer where YAAC is running. It can be a network filesystem, but it still has to be mounted so it is visible to non-network-file-system-aware applications (like YAAC).

Did you mount the share on the YAAC Pi?

Make sure that you add it in your fstab file so that it remounts on reboot. Otherwise you will have to remember to manually mount it every time...
