Description of Issue

I installed the Roon Core on a Synology DS720. Thats ok.
I have my musicfiles on another Synology DS412 in a shared folder.
The name of that folder MUSICFILES
So the networkpath: \DS412\MUSICFILES

I am able to make a network share on windows. It works fine.

But I cannot make that same share in Roon.
I try:
STORAGE
Add networkshare
I tried with \DS412\MUSICFILES
Also with \IP Adress\MUSICFILES
With the correct username, password.

But after pushing adding networkshare i constantly get an error.
there is an unexpexted error.

What to do?

It can be achieved by mounting a remote folder to a subfolder that is accessible by RoonServer (e.g. in the Music or database share) with FileStation. See linked post below:

Roon on DSM 7: Backup fails

The issue here is probably, that apps on DSM7 can’t establish network connections (to strengthen security of your Diskstation). What you can do is establish the network mount in FileStation. You can create a new folder (e.g. “RoonServer-Backup-Mount”) in your database Then click on “Tools” → “Mount remote Folder” → “CIFS Shared Folder” [Bildschirmfoto 2021-11-01 um 19.30.59] Enter your credentials and info for the remote shared folder and select the just created folder as a mounting point. …
