I recently added a NAS to my network running openmediavault. I copied my music library to it and created an SMB/CIFS share for it. The local URL for the share is \\OPENMEDIAVAULT\Music. I tried to open up all possible permissions on it, from the file system to the share itself, but every time I try to add the share in Manage Music Library on the Windows Sonos controller, I get the following message:



Sonos was unable to add the music folder



Please check that the path to the folder, and the username and password is needed, are correct.



Reason: Access to the shared folder "\\OPENMEDIAVAULT\Music" is denied.







I'm running OMV version 4.1.19-1 (Arrakis)

The kernel is Linux 4.19.0-0.bpo.2-amd64



Has anyone gotten Sonos to work with an openmediavault share in this way?



Thanks in advance!
Likely problem is that OMV does not support SMB V1 which Sonos requires. I'm not sure how to downgrade/enable v1 on OMV, would be a good idea to check on the OMV forums.
I found the answer on the OMV forums. You must add this line to the /etc/samba/smb.conf file in the [Global] section:



ntlm auth = yes



This apparently enables SMB V1.



Thanks!
