Roon Nucleus and my FLAC files - how to see them on my Network

[Womaz (Steve)]

As above.
Nucleus is hardwired to my Network and the files play through Roon with no issues.

However I want to tidy them up a bit.

I have my lpatop and have clicked on the My Network tab. I assumed the Nucleus would be there, but its not.

I assumed I would be able to see the Nucleus and then edit and tidy up some of my files? I am not the most technical so am I missing something obvious here?
My Printers and Router are there but not my Nucleus.

It should be but you may have to do something for it. Is this Windows (which version?) or a Mac?

How did you originally move the files to the Nucleus in the first place?

[Womaz (Steve)]

The dealer moved my files across from what I recall.
It’s windows 11 I think ……I have tried again this morning and can’t find it

It’s no big deal really , I have deleted a few problematic singles through the Roon app .

NUC11 can not access codec folder for ROCK

Microsoft has tightened up security around the use of the SMB protocol used by ROCK. They no longer allow the use of the “guest” user authentication by default. I’m afraid you’re going to have enter the Windows Registry and edit it. See:

@Womaz

I have tried again this morning and can’t find it

It’s probably the tightened security from Microsoft as @Suedkiez pointed out, but when you say you can’t find it, did you actually type \\Nucleus (or \\Nucleusplus, if you have a Nucleus+) into Windows File Explorer?

Windows File Explorer does have a tendency to forget about network devices if they are not actually Windows PCs…

[Womaz (Steve)]

Yes I did , couldnt find it.
I thought it would be fairly simple to do this

[Womaz (Steve)]

Yeah, read some of that thread. Way over my non technical head I am afraid

I have deleted some singles off my HD through the Roon app as they would never be played.
I have 82 unidentified albums now and I want to keep them. I have tried the rescan, reidentifty etc but to no avail.
A lot of them are Hed Kandi CD rips as I was into my dance music and some are very very old Jax Trax CDs which was the start of house music

There are step by step instructions in the post that is linked from the one I posted, but here is a video you can follow for Win 11

You Cant Access This Shared Folder Because Your Organization’s Security Policies On Windows 11

[Womaz (Steve)]

Thanks for your post. I won’t attempt this as I don’t understand the security implications

Even if I could access my music I don’t think I would know how to fix the unidentified files anyway

I wanted to access my music files to delete some singles ……I managed to do this from the Roon app though

There are no relevant security complications for most home LANs. All this does is allow your Windows to connect to file shares on the LAN that allow connection by guest/guest instead of a user name and password.

In a company setting this would mean that every file share that allows guest/guest (possibly because it was forgotten to secure it with a password) can be accessed by anyone on the office network anonymously without further authentication. That’s why Microsoft is now disallowing it by default. On a home LAN that’s rarely relevant.

But sure, if you don’t need it then leave as is
