Hi,
I’m a complete newcomer to music streaming. I have a Trial version and I’m trying to map my Synology DS218 NAS.
I have Roon v1.8 installed on my MacBook Pro. Mapping the internal drive to your MacBook (where the music is stored) went smoothly.
2.NAS Synology DS218 Roon cannot map the path. I have tried all the methods described here in the forum:
A) smb: // DiskStation / Music
B) smb: //192.168.0.168/Music
C) yes, SMB service is enabled on the NAS
D) The NAS server is mapped for another app. for example. Audirvana, streaming app MiND 2 from Simaudio MOON. On both apps, after entering the path, the NAS server is immediately mapped
While using Core, I use my MacBook Pro
Thank you in advance for your help
Please read with understanding. I wrote point B) smb: //192.168.0.168/Music writes: There was an Unexpepected error: Invalid Network Path. And besides, your journey is for Windows.
Yes, did see that. and i am asking for you to try without the “smb:”-notation. And also to use backslashes, not forward slashes and definently no blanks.
But by all means, feel free to continue using your prefered playback solution.
And, no… I was adding a network path to my Linux based NAS from my Linux based ROCK Core, on my iPad. So, not much Windows there…
yes my IP address on NAS is smb: //192.168.0.151/Music
I tried:
all variants with smb slash //
A) smb: // Synology_DS218 / Music /
B) smb: //192.168.0.151/Music/
all variants without smb with backslash \
A) \ Synology_DS218 \ Music
B) \ 192.168.0.151 \ Music \
smb: // Synology_DS218 / Volume1
so I don’t know what else I need to be able to connect to my Synology DS218 NAS to the Music shared folder via Roon. Roon mapped to my shared Music folder on my MacBook immediately. My Audirvana app, MiND2 from Simaudio Moon, seamlessly connects to the NAS and plays music.
Synology shares are by default always written in lowercases only. In the posts I see that you are trying to connect to Volume1 and Music. This should be volume2 and music.
