Core Machine is a Dell XPS 8940 running a I9-10900 processor with 32 GB of RAM and Windows 10 home 2004 version.
My music files are on my Synology NAS DS 1819+ running an Intel Atom C3538 processor.

When I try to “Add Network Share” I get an error message: “Invalid Network Path specified”. I have tried different things but nothing seems to work. Hwat am I doing wrong here?

Since ROON cannot see my music files I have not been able to use it yet.
Just checking a few things and forgive me if you have already tried them (the post did not specify). I have the same NAS as you. My music path starts simply with ‘\\Diskstation’, with the full path being ‘\\Diskstation\Music\Lossless’ (nothing special there).
make sure both SMB and NFS are enabled on your NAS, to increase the chance of external devices being able to see and map to the shared folders
make sure the folder containing music is indeed shared
reboot both PC and NAS
as a test, see if you can browse to \\diskstation\music from within windows explorer
try browsing from within Roon again
Post back here with the results or lack thereof
Thanks for the help. I finally found out what the issue was and now everything is working fine. As you mentioned above I needed to enable the SMB and NFS and the problem was solved.
