It’s not recognizing the external hard drive (Samsung 1TB SSD) that holds most of my music, so I can’t transfer tracks to the internal memory nor play them right now.
Trying to use my Macbook as a remote, it cannot find the core despite seeing the IP address. Remote works fine on my Samsung Fold 4, but again, I can’t see the external drive.
I just solved problem 2 through a rebooting of everything and resetting the wifi from new. Yay!
On one. Never connected to a Windows machine. I can read it when connected to my Macbook. It was used as an external drive when I had a Mac Mini as the core. Is that the issue? How do I solve that?
@Brandon_Borrman, the latest ROCK/RoonOS build had an update made to its USB driver and some NTFS drives that were not ejected properly from a Windows PC can result in connection issues. Even though this drive has been used only on a Mac, it may worth it if possible to connect it to a PC and then eject it. While Nucleus’ and ROCKs can read many drive formats, Roon recommends ExFAT for compatibiliity, but this is not as storage-efficient as NTFS.
I don’t know if worth it because if it was NTFS, the Mac would not read it (without installing additional stuff). If it’s exFAT, I don’t think it has this issue.
But maybe best to try. @Brandon_Borrman if you do this, perform the “safe remove” operation on Windows:
I know, hence I said “(without installing additional stuff)”. The OP did not strike me as the type - maybe too much of an assumption.
Though if his Mac does have NTFS drivers, then connecting it to the Mac and performing the safe eject as in the above Mac link might just fix it.
It’s great to see you on the Roon Community! You have my sincerest apologies for the delayed response here, we’ve been dealing with a higher-than-usual volume following our release and we’re working as quickly as we can to get back to everyone.
I wanted to follow up on this thread to see if you were still experiencing issues with getting your external drive recognized on your Nucleus?
