Could not connect to share; unauthorised [on Rose]

Audio Gear Talk

Hello, I’m hoping someone will point me in the right direction, I’ve recently gone back to using Roon after a 12 month layoff. I use a 2014 Mac mini as my Roon Server, everything works well.

I have around 300 more albums stored on the hard drive installed in my Rose 250 than on my Mac mini.

I am trying to use the Rose’s 4TB SSD as a share location for Roon, I’ve been trying all day with little joy. I’ve successfully enabled the SMB id/pw settings on the Rose and tried to add the Rose as a network share, the message I’m getting back is

‘could not connect to share; unauthorised’

I can’t work out what needs authorising am I missing something I thought Roon was straightforward, the only thing blank is the username, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance, Mark

I think you may need to enter a password that you set up on the Rose:

Hi, thank you for the response I was using that very piece of advice myself.

I have inputted the information into Roon exactly as I did on the Rose, password and workgroup, and feel I had a little success as the message changed from host not found, now it reads

unauthorised

so I feel I’m progressing.

Everything I read tells me I am inputting the information correctly but I must be missing something. I’ve even rebooted the Rose and the Mac mini.

I have turned to the Roon community and the Rose community for help as someone somewhere must have come across this at some point.

Thank you again for your response, Mark

Post screenshots of what you are entering in Roon please, and ideally photos/screenshots of the Rose SMB settings.

Hi , thanks again , I can’t go back into the settings on the rose it pops up a box to fill in widen you toggle the setting for Smb then you can’t revisit it , I just jotted down what I’d entered then re entered the same into Roon which I can provide a screenshot of

You probably have to provide a username. And it would be quite unusual to need a workgroup, „collie67“, are you sure about that?

When setting up Smb on the rose 3 boxes are to be filled in ,the top box is the ip address the second and third are password and work group , I used the exact same setting in Roon , word for word , rose doesn’t specify username , over the course of the last 6 hours I have tried every username even collie67 and have left it blank also because it says only if required and because rose never asked for a username I figured it isn’t required , I know I’m close as just need to figure out the last bit , thanks for your help it is appreciated mark
