Updating NAS Credentials Without Corrupting Roon Library History (ref#01TFT9)

Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon?

· None of the above quite fits

· None of these quite match

Tell us what's going on

· I need to update credentials for a nas. Want to know how to do it without corrupting history. I have two Roon Cores, both running Roon OS (ROCK) - other core is licensed to xxxxxx. My music library is on a NAS, added to each Core as an SMB network share by IP address. The NAS account Roon uses recently had its password changed, which made the share show "folder not available." I don't see any way to edit the stored username/password on an existing network share — so what's the correct way to update the credentials without losing my library, playlists, edits, and play history? Do I remove and re-add? If so, does it need to be the same path (in hindsight, I should have used a local dns instead of an ip). Thanks a lot, John

Tell us about your home network

· nas is truenas scale. routers are unifi udm - not sure that matters here. roon rocks are wired, running on NUCs. All are on current releases

Hi John,

Good news — you don’t need to remove the share. Roon has an Edit option directly on existing storage locations that lets you update the credentials in place.

Go to Settings → Storage, find the share, click the three-dot menu next to it, and select Edit. There, you can add a new share with the updated username and password without removing the share or affecting your library, playlists, edits, or play history. While the folder structure is the same, everything will be intact.

Since you have two Cores pointing to the same NAS, you’ll need to repeat this on both.

Hope that helps, John!
