I’ve sen this issue mentioned in other posts but couldn’t see a solution: I am running Roon Core on a Mac Mini, connected to an ethernet hub. I play Roon through a PS Audio Direct Stream Jr.
I just bought a Synology DS216j, and have hooked it up to my ethernet hub. I mounted it in Finder. When I enter the network path into Roon, first i got “User Name or Password is Incorrect,” but now I see “The network path is already in use on your system.” I’ve entered the following path: smb://ipaddress/music/RoonNAS . I also tried using the name of the NAS (instead of the IP address) with the same result.
Thanks - I’d appreciate your help.
PS I’m not looking to run Roon Core on the NAS, just use it as storage. And, I’m non-technical (a music lover).
Have you setup your DS216 to use SMB 2 (see Advanced settings under Windows File Services)? Not sure it makes a difference but that is what I’ve set mine up for and am having no issues (I’m also running CORE on MacMini connected to Synology NAS via ethernet switch).
Although you’ve had the same results with both logical and IP addressing I suggest to stick with logical name to eliminate future dynamic IP addressing issues.
Michael - I can’t say it is wrong but can only say I’m setup for SMB 2 and do recall issues with plain old SMB. My guess (total guess) is that the newer version should be fine. In which case you’ll need to look at other places than SMB.
