Hi guys having a frustrating issue i have installed x64 version on a mini pc running I 256 Sata SSD for os and 1TB nvme to music. had a few issues getting the network music location to map but eventual resolve but i am now having issues just opening the volumio internal storage on my main pc have tried all recommends no matter what i keep getting this
\volumio.local is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The network name cannot be found

I’ve added a firewall rule, gone into windows credentials and checked the permissions which i am the admin.
not sure what I’m doing wrong haven’t changed the logon in for volumio all set to defaults.
just want to store music on its 1TB drive this should be so hard its shows in the system as a drive to install the os on so I’m now asking for possible ideas i haven’t tried I’ve also run the win11 fix for my email to pass through?
help would be greatly appreciated.

Please have a look here, as I said before it seems a policy issue:: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsclient/forum/all/im-receiving-an-error-when-trying-to-connect-to-a/8650bc9f-bf25-4dde-99cd-25e617f1ae67

Hey @kieronb,

Based on your Volumio network share issue, here are troubleshooting steps to try:

HOSTNAME AND IP ADDRESS

• First, verify the actual hostname of your Volumio installation. The default is “volumio” but check Settings > System > Player Name to confirm.

• Find the IP address of your Volumio device:

  • Log into the Volumio web interface
  • Go to Settings > Network
  • Note the IP address (example: 192.168.1.100)

• Try accessing via IP instead of hostname:

  • Open Windows File Explorer
  • Type in address bar: \\192.168.1.100
  • Press Enter

WINDOWS SMB COMPATIBILITY FIX

Windows 10/11 have strict SMB security that blocks Volumio shares. There is a comprehensive registry fix:

Rivo Plus Volumio OS Cannot Connect to Windows 10 NAS

To anyone encountering issues with Volumio not being able to connect to a Windows 10 shared folder, especially when guest access or no credentials are used, the root cause often lies in how Windows 10 handles SMB authentication and protocol negotiation by default. These settings have tightened significantly in recent versions of Windows, often blocking unauthenticated clients like Volumio by default. Here is a comprehensive list of Windows Registry changes that can be made to ensure compatibili…

This post contains registry changes that essentially roll back Windows SMB policies to work with Volumio’s SMB implementation. Follow those instructions carefully and restart after applying registry changes.

MOUNTING YOUR 1TB NVME DRIVE

For mounting your internal 1TB NVMe drive as music storage in Volumio:

Public Beta Test: Audio Without Compromise - Refining the Future of Volumio on Bookworm

Hey @Raw, Thanks for your detailed report. You’ve provided a solid breakdown of the OTA from version 4.017 to 4.020. After reviewing both your setup and the Volumio backend source, the issue appears to stem from a mismatch between your manual mounting method and the supported automount logic used by Volumio. You mentioned: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/NVME sudo mount -t auto /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/NVME (nvme0n1p1 is my M2 SSD with Music) ... LABEL=nvme /mnt/NVME ext4 defaults,nofail 0 2 And: /mnt/NVME …

Pay special attention to valid disk labels mentioned in that post. The drive needs proper formatting and mounting configuration within Volumio.

DEFAULT CREDENTIALS

• Username: volumio
• Password: volumio

When Windows prompts for credentials, enter these explicitly.

QUICK CHECKLIST

1. Apply the registry fixes from first link. Applies to MS Windows versions 10 and 11
2. Restart Windows
3. Access via \\IP.ADDRESS instead of \\volumio.local
4. Configure internal drive mounting per second link
5. Enter credentials when prompted

Which step are you currently stuck on - accessing the share from Windows, or mounting the 1TB drive within Volumio itself?

Kind Regards,

Thanks for your solution will try when I can.
Much appreciated

The only other thing is my system is a hp mini pc running only Volumio on boot drive ssd so not sure how to use terminal to mount drive, it does show up in setting as 1tb nvme so I assume that means it’s mounted and been picked up by os

Hey @kieronb,

Perhaps this is my incorrect understanding. I got the impression that the music assets SSD is separate from the storage where Volumio OS is installed. There is nothing else needed if they are on the same storage.

Kind Regards,

[kieronb]

no you are right they are on separate drives
