You need to add a network share. Click on the ‘+’ and follow the instructions. You’ll need to have network sharing (netzwerkfreigabe) enabled on your remote PC.

Hello,

thank you for informations.
I tried with network folders or partitions on a hard drive and i was successful.
The shared drives or partitions are of course the same as those on the PC.

Why it has to be network drives and not existent partitions or a second or third hard drive on the PC or even a USB hard drive, this does not make sense to me.

But what does it mean, that’s the way it is

don’t you have any idea how to hide the unwanted genre on the display?
I’ve already tried hide under settings but genres such as religion or child are still displayed ???

I already understand Roon’s philosophy, but there should be the option to fade out these genres.

Have fun with music and Roon,
Matthias from Karlsruhe / Germany

You posted in the ROCK category, so I am assuming your Core runs ROCK. In this case, the only way it can access folders on your PC is using a file share. What may be confusing, is that you access your Core using Roon on a PC. However, this is remotely accessing the Core (ROCK) which only has access to the local filesystem and Dropbox.

I think it would be better if you post this question in a new thread in the #support category, so it gets the correct level of attention. Otherwise, it will be lost under the original title and thread.

Hi Martin
you are right.
I use ROCK / Linux on a itx board…
I use a Nuc pc, a Windows Dell Laptop and a android smartphone to remote ROCK and it works fine.

Only it is fail with iOS.
I tried a apad mini 5, but it did not work very well.
The forum know this…
I selled the ipad…

Now i have understood because of network partitions or folders.
It is because i use ROCK on a separate pc / itx board.
That is logical.

Thank`s a lot,

Matthias
