Roon unable to connect to share [Resolved - Password wasn't alphanumeric]

Roon adds a network share. After the network share location, user name, password and working group are correctly entered, the network share cannot be added successfully. Tip: unable to connect to share: not authorized.

How to solve this problem?

Hello @BW_PCbridge. Have you read this KB link?

Can you give some details of your network setup? And perhaps a screenshot of the add network share page?

Thanks for reaching out, @BW_PCbridge, and welcome to the Roon community!

As Brian suggested, definitely check out this article for best practices when adding a network share.

If that doesn’t help, can you provide some more details about your setup?

  • What is your Core machine?
  • What device are you trying to access via the network share?
  • Can you share a screenshot of what you’re entering and the error you receive?

Thanks!

Yes, I have read that article, and I operate according to the method in the article.
My core machine:x86
Access QNAP NAS through network share.
However, it could not be successfully added to roon’s network share.


Can you try using an SMB path instead?

smb://192.168.2.101/music

Is there any change when doing so?

Are there any non-alphanumeric characters in your password? If so, can you try changing it to only alphanumeric characters and let us know if that helps?

smb://192.168.2.101/music,It was also unsuccessful.

However, the NAS can be connected by changing it to an alphanumeric password.

Thank you very much.
