Sharing the Nucleus InternalStorage folder on the network

What I’m trying to do is map the InternalStorage folder on my Nucleus Plus on my Bryston BDP-Pi. I “see” the Nucleus but cannot navigate further than the Data folder.
Bryston tells me the issue I’m having is an incompatibility with SMB1.
The Nucleus supports SMB2, though. Are they saying that Bryston only works with SMB1 and the Nucleus is incompatible with that?
Correct, the Bryston BDP-Pi only works with SMB1. Is there anything that can be done?
OK. Roon OS did work with SMB1 at least in the past. Not sure if this was removed at some point.
Thanks, if Roon OS still supports SMB1 then I head back to Bryston support for further troubleshooting. If not, then devise a workaround.
I’m just a fellow user like you and can’t devise anything. But if Bryston only supports an ancient protocol, maybe they should update it
The player is a long discontinued product, very unlikely!
My fault for incorporating the device into my system well aware of that fact!
I see. It’s a lesson that many audio manufacturers had to learn the hard way. Difficult to understand but it happened to many of them when they designed their first digital devices.
I looked in the Roon release notes and found the version where SMB2 was added to Roon OS in 2018 but none where SMB1 was officially removed, so I don’t know if this happened at all.
However, you’d only use SMB for file storage and there are cheap solutions that are better than using the Bryston for that
All of my music files are on the Nucleus Plus in the InternalStorage folder, with a manual backup to a Western Digital My Cloud Drive that also does not play well with the Bryston BDP-Pi. The device works great as a Roon endpoint. I am trying to access its own player capabilities outside of Roon, but since all my files are on the Nucleus, I need to connect to it as if it were a NAS and therein is the trouble I am facing.

Let’s see what official support has to say about SMB1

Hi @Favio_Barrionuevo,
Thanks for reaching out to us about this. I can confirm that Roon still supports SMBv1. So let’s see if we can get this working for you. Under Share Type, what other options are visible to you?
The two options under share type are Microsoft windows Network and Apple file sharing.
The players scans the network, I can select nucleus plus, at which point it automatically selects Microsoft Windows network as the share type. I can then select the Data folder but sub folders never populate. The same result when Apple files sharing is selected instead. I’m attaching a few screenshots.
Perhaps try using guest as both the Username and Password?
I hadn’t tried that but did just now and it’s the same result. Data is as far as it takes me, the sub folders do not populate and Data is not mounted as a share.
Instead of Data try Data\Storage\InternalStorage
“Data” auto populates from the drop-down menu selection. Subfolder doesn’t show anything. When I type Data/Storage/InternalStorage in that field it gets stuck in a loop trying to set up.
The fact that Roon has said that SMB1 is supported seems to point me back to Bryston support for further troubleshooting.
What does the sub folder drop down show?
It doesn’t. That drop-down menu is already expanded. No matter where I navigate to, the tree never goes past the first selection.
