Describe the issue

I am running Roon server on a qnap but unable to link it to my music files on my Melco

Describe your network setup

Please ask Melco about the details of their file share. Roon does not have an own SMB implementation, it uses the one from the OS it runs on (QTS in your case). Settings you’ve made in QTS, or unchanged defaults, may prevent the successful connection. You can also try and mount the share directly in QTS, then you just point Roon at the local mount point.
Additionally: How did you install Roon Server on your NAS? Using the package or in Docker?

I’ve written a lot about this notion in several disconnected forum posts here over the years, but I’ve been thinking about putting it all together in one place for a while. I realize, however, that I don’t represent every sort of …

Alternatively: Install and use the officially supported Roon Server package.
