first check if your share on the windows machine is actually called Music 505:

  • on windows type: net share
  • Does the user has actually rights to access the windows share?
  • which SMB is active on your machine

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,

will do thank you

24

Firstly thank you so much for all efforts its much appriciated I did exactly as you said in the previous posts but to no avail. I should ask about backslash or forward slash as i copied the address from Microsoft. Who use backslashes where your address has forward slashes.

25

Hey @HiFiGuy,

Can you confirm what is DESKTOP-JLCR5CF in your setup as guidance will differ based on:

  1. The DESKTOP-JLCR5CF is the folder name on MS Windows 10.
  2. The DESKTOP-JLCR5CF is the network share name on MS Windows 10.
  3. The DESKTOP-JLCR5CF is the computer name on MS Windows 10.

Can you elaborate what you have executed or done? Also, can you share artifacts like command line results from tests, screenshots,? Anything?

Kind Regards,

Since I messaged last . I connected the drive to linux laptop still nothing. Went back to Windows 10 Checked cifs which is checked (ticked) and there just still getting a red box
I checked the folder is shared. Think Ill just reinstall

27

I don’t think a reinstall will solve your issue.
I’d recommend starting with what Nerd asked earlier.
If you’re not willing to follow/share the instructions, we can’t support you properly and you’ll just keep running into the same problems.

28

it just says cifs in a orange box now

29

I dont know what you want to do

30
31

That is the computer name and I can see the share

32

Also when i go to network share on windows, volumio shows up on the list Or if I check network folders I can see volumio with the 3 usual folders inside

33

Ah, excellent. You’ve confirmed the computer name.
Now, if we could just confirm the ability to follow instructions, we might actually fix something.

34

Hey @HiFiGuy,

In such case your paths is just /Music 505

Nothing more, nothing less.

Kind Regards,

35

Just tried with that thought it was going to work it brought up the credentials box but still has a red X on mounted
should I use the drive letter as well?

36

My opinion: when using shares cross platform (e.g. linux ↔ windows) I never thought it a good idea to have spaces in file/folder/share names, because spaces can be interpreted as delimiters in command-line interfaces, causing errors in scripts and applications. This can lead to unexpected behavior and requires users to use extra syntax like quotes or backslashes to specify the filename, complicating file access across different

37

Thanks for your input its greatly recieved I will try no spaces for the Alias

38

Not the alias, that is ok, but the windows share name!
Name it Music-505 and if failing, submit another log please

39

Nice One OK however whats frustrating is this worked before the corrd update which is why I had to reinstall

40

What bit of the log should I submit
