S1 app Music Library not allowing underscore character in PC network server name?

I’m using the updated S1 app and suddenly it can’t access my shared music folder on my windows PC.
I’ve tried to reconnect to the shared folder, but the S1 app doesn’t accept the network server name because it has an underscore character in the name. 

Hence, I can’t connect to the music on my PC.

It was working for a long time until now, so has something changed in the S1 app about allowable characters in shared server names for the music library?

 

Any advice/insights greatly appreciated

Thanks in anticipation,

Peter D :-)

valid characters are dash and alphanumeric, not underscore and alphanumeric. Dash as in hyphen or minus sign.
 

Probably Sonos has enforced the requirement at some recent point.

 

Simply change the share name.
