I have my Roon Core loaded on an iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) running Mac OS 10.12.6 (16G2136).
I am trying to access music on another mac computer which is available to the iMac under “Shared”. In Roon I have been attempting to access these shared files using “Add Network Share”. I have copied and pasted the location information of the folders listed under “Where” and “Server” in the “Get Info” window. Nothing works. I have read the Roon support pages but cannot find a solution. The folders are set to “share” on the host computer and are readable on the iMac computer.
Can you share a screenshot of what you’re entering into Roon as well as a screenshot of the Share settings on the Mac for the folder you’re trying to access?
We have some additional info about this process in our Help Center:
I have attached 4 screenshots - 2 of a couple of the numerous entries I have tried to "Add Network Share” in Roon, and 1 of the iMac that hosts the Roon core, and 1 of the computer that hosts the files I am trying to include in my Roon Storage Folders.
I have tried so many permutations now that I’m a bit lost.
The folder I am trying to access in this case is called “Downloads T5” and exists on a drive (Samsung_T5) attached to the computer that is being shared with the iMac (that hosts the Roon core).
Success!!!
Thank you very much for solving this issue. I realise that in fact I had tried the path you suggested but had not included the username and password of the mac mini.
Thank you also for your prompt replies.
