After Andrew Gillis suggested that I had to mount the Vortexbox server as a network share I went to Roon to try to “Add network share” after trying to follow the Roon instructions.
I tried to add the Network Share Location smb://192.168.0.5/Multimedia/Music but a message came up “Invalid network path specified”
Vortexbox shows up on my Network when I click on the network icon. The Vortexbox ripper/server is connected via ethernet cable to my network and via USB cable to my integrated amplifier for playing music.
I use my Dell Desktop computer (Windows 10 operating system) by going to the website http://myvortexbox.com in order to control what happens to CD’s that I am ripping on the Vortex ripper/server. The CD’s are ripped in FLAC format to the hard drive in the Vortexbox and the Vortexbox accesses metadata for the music through my internet and stores the metadata. Therefore I know that the Vortexbox is on my network and is working.
The Roon core is another server (Sonictransporter i5) connected to a MicroRendu and to my Audio-gc DAC (all connected to my network).
Roon was working well before with this configuration but as I said before the SonicTransporter i5 broke down and was replaced by a new one recently and now Roon can’t seem to access the music on my Vortexbox ripper/server.
Do you have any further thoughts on how to get Roon to access the FLAC music files on my Vortexbox?
