Well I’ve read these two articles and tried to follow them…I am totally confused. You sent me 2 articles so I assume I follow the instructions for the first and then the second?
In answer to your question, yes the media is stored on the QNAP.
I have tried following the instructions without success - have you a video tutorial? Or is there any personal one-to-one guidance, e.g. remote access to my computer?
So, you are typing this is in on the Mac but you want to see the NAS so you have to put in the NAS name. You seem to be typo g in the name of the Mac.
So nas15b6 etc.
Thanks for sharing those screenshots and for your patience while your case has reached out queue again!
In this screenshot, it looks like you are trying to access a shared folder on your Mac, which you have to set up proper sharing for. The guide which you originally posted provides the proper steps for this:
You you need to ensure you have the correct permissions and that you are using the same login as listed in the Mac Security center:
If this still does not work, I would try to add your NAS directly into Roon, instead of using it as a shared drive.
Please keep in mind that Roon does not support AFP shares, so you’ll want to make sure you have SMBv3 enabled in your QNAP settings if you wish to add it directly to Roon. If you do, the path would look something like this: smb://IP OF QNAP/FOLDER NAME and then using the credentials you configured in the QNAP Web Interface.
Hope this helps, but let us know if you have further questions!
Well, you really couldn’t make this up - I had apparent success the other day by connecting directly with the ip address of the NAS - Roon added 10,000 odd tracks! - then this morning I have this!
should it really have two directory levels of iTunes music?
Can it not find it because it really doesn’t exist?
Personally I would connect by name not IP address.
I would check your router web interface to see if you have the option to set up Reserved IP, that way the IP of the NAS will stay the same when the IP address expires (usually every 24 hours).
