Sonos app V80.0 does not support NAS drive

So the following note has been added to the SONOS support topic Use a NAS drive with Sonos.

Sonos app version 80.0

This setting is not currently available in the Sonos app for iOS or Android, but it will return in a future update.

They are forcing the update, and there's no Music Library option in the system menu anymore.

This is very frustrating. Very sloppy software development. Is complaining to support my only option to get this enabled again?

I have a music library on Netgear ReadyNAS Duo (v1) which I am unable to access with the new SONSO app. Worked great before! It has a mixture of .FLAC and .M4A files.

Hi @KLO, I looked up your NAS and it may not support the SMBv2 protocol needed to work with Sonos. Your NAS runs the old SMBv1 protocol which Sonos stopped supporting in mid-May.

This post in the Netgear forums talks about a hack for getting SMBv2 support, tho the process is anything but straightforward …

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

Don’t let them lie to you about SMB. The problem is in the indexing. It took very little effort to diagnose this. But yet Sonos can’t fix it in months of time.

Worthless company.

SMB has to do with the connection to the drive, I.e Sonos being ‘able’ to get data. Once it is talking to the drive, there is nothing regarding SMB in play, but lots of other code. You may have gotten bad information from someone who has conflated the two issues.
