Choose Music Storage Folder / Add Network Share - Newbie question

Roon Software Discussion ROCK
1

I have just installed Roon ROCK on a NUC8i3 and linked it to my Tidal account. Working well. But I can’t get it to “see” my ripped CDs which are on a Synology NAS.

I am not sure whether the problem is the Network Share Location format, or something with my LAN / NAS.

I can interact with my NAS via 192.168.2.[xx]:5000, and can sign in fine. The Music folder is …\Volume1\Music

But within macOS Finder, under Locations > xyz_NAS I am unable to Connect As… to the NAS. The same happens if I go to Locations > Network > xyz_NAS

Any ideas where I am going wrong? I am also not clear about whether I should be using \host\share or smb://host/share also.

I have read the Knowledgebase article https://kb.roonlabs.com/FAQ:_How_do_I_create_a_shared_folder_on_Mac_and_add_it_as_a_watched_folder_in_Roon%3F but I seem to be unable to bring up any “share” submenus…

TIA
