No longer connecting to SMB shares on Synology via Hostname

Support

@support

Here is today’s testing.

Setup

  • Roon ROCK on my INTEL NUC. No changes outside of upgrading to Build 175
  • Synology NAS - with the latest update
  • Both are WIRED and on the same UBIQUITI Switch

SMB Shares

  • The two shares I connect to are:
    \MSamji-NAS\Music
    \MSamji-NAS\HiRezMusic

As a starting point:

  1. I deleted these from ROON since I had to use the IP Address to connect

Now let’s try to reconnect so you can get the logs from my device.

Today’s Steps

  1. Remove the shares from the Roon

  2. Confirm the SMB Shares work via HOST NAME

  • From a Windows I can successfully connect to:
    \MSamji-NAS\MUSIC
    \MSamji-NAS\HiRezMusic
  1. NOW let’s add them in ROON

  • From Roon I try to ADD
    \MSamji-NAS\Music

  • It fails. The error is “There was an un-expected error: UnexpectedError”

  • Then I try to ADD
    \MSamji-NAS.local\Music

  • THAT WORKS INSTANTLY!

I repeat the process for the other share
\MSamji-NAS\HiRezMusic

  • It fails
  • Then I try to ADD
    \Msamji-NAS.local\HiRezMusic
  • THAT WORKS

To Summarize with Roon

Previously I could always Connect with:
\MSamji-NAS\Music

That no longer works. BUT I CAN CONNECT WITH
\MSamji-NAS.Local\Music
\IP Address\Music
