Add me to the list of grateful users… I have a mix of newer and older Sonos products, and this has been driving me nuts! Thanks

Thank you VERY much @sjw you are a super star.

I had the same issue, that Sonos iPad app suddenly started to report “access denied” when attempting to play music from my music library on my Synology NAS. Added “unix extensions=no” to the “smb.conf” of my Synology NAS DS218 solved it for me, and my old Sonos S1 system now works again.

Curious @sjw, how did you figure out this was the solution??

aargh.. it came back. checked smb.conf and line is still there, however.

Any thoughts

p.s. It CAN see the file! It offers it! :-)

 

when i got my new synology nas (never had issue with old one apart from it died), it took me ages to sort out the smb for s1 vs s2 was fine straight off.

now is denied again even though settings are as detailed. why cant sonos fix this as clearly a big problem...and sorry i dont understand the access via SSH >use PUTTY

I have a problem with the SJW mod to smb.conf file. If you reboot the NAS (DS218+) the file reverts to the previous version. So I still have a problem whereby the Play 1 works correctly but access is denied for my Connect. They both work if grouped together (sometimes).

Yay! Thank you!

It worked, but if you have trouble, please check your spelling. 

It didn’t work the first time and when I went back to check the file, I had written “unit extensions=no”

That will not work.
