Motioneye: Network Share Option not offered

[vtrack]

Hi,
I just installed the latest version of motioneye on raspbian, following the instructions in the wiki.
0.32.2
Linux raspberrypi 4.4.14+ #896 Sat Jul 2 14:16:46 BST 2016 armv6l GNU/Linux

compiled latest trunk of motion
ffmpeg from your pre-compiled url.

I am not seeing the option to save files to a network share in the dropdown. in File Storage/Storage Device. I only see "Custom Path" or SL16G with a path to a local device.
See attached configs.

still researching this. Is this something with the motioneye feature-set? I am coming from MotionPie and was hoping to have more or less the same features. If not, I would use motionos, but I need the ability to add repos and use the gpio.

Set smb_shares setting (in motioneye.conf) to true.

When I set to true the service will not start and I believe I am running it as root.

After tinkering for a while, I've found the issue that none of the logs told me.
running this directly, it gave me the log on the stream, which told me the problem:
/usr/local/bin/meyectl startserver -c /etc/motioneye/motioneye.conf

it'll say CRITICAL: please install cifs-utils
now, going to edit the server script to have it log to file

Hi, I think that @jasonhpchu solutions should be added in the installation guide!

Hello

i have a similar problem.
3 cameras attached on MotionEye ( Debian ) - two Raspi ( "0" and PI3 ) and one Instar IN-3011cam.
Everything works fine - thank you for the great work.
Just missing the option "File Storage - Network Share " on the Instar cam. Its working on both PI´s perfectly. Local storage is available

and working cam is working pretty well.
Is it because of the Instar cam ??

Thank you for help !
Grüße
Frank
