Hey @HiFiGuy,

I think that DESKTOP-JLCR5CF looks like your Windows computer name, not a folder name.
Let’s confirm it before moving further.

On your Windows laptop:

  1. Press Win + R, type cmd, and hit Enter.

  2. In the Command Prompt, type:

    hostname
    • This should return DESKTOP-JLCR5CF - confirming it’s your computer name.

  3. Next, type:

    net share
    • This will list all folders shared via SMB (e.g. Music 505).

If you see your folder in that list, then in Volumio use this structure for the share path:

//DESKTOP-JLCR5CF/Music 505

Make sure:

  • Type: CIFS (not NFS)

  • Options:

    vers=3.0,username=YourWindowsUser,password=YourPassword

    (adjust version to 2.0 or 1.0 if 3.0 fails)

Once that’s tested, if it still fails, we’ll look at SMB protocol version and credentials policy next.

Kind Regards,
