I had my Sonos music library setup on a USB stick in my WiFi router. All has been working fine, including playing songs from that USB source and running regular updates of the music library (re-indexing). Now I'm getting this error when trying to update the music library:
Music files not available
>usb location on router] is no longer available. The device where the music files are stored may not be powered on, or the path may have changed. Go to Settings > System > Music Library Setup to check the path.
Even after this mesage was displayed, Sonos could play songs from the USB drive (i.e. from the existing music library) absolutely fine, so the potential issues mentioned in the message don’t apply; it was just the music library update that stopped working. To try to fix things, I deleted the music library reference from Sonos and tried to add it again. (I did this using the Sonos desktop app to navigate to the required location on the USB drive, so Sonos can definitely find and recognise the drive.) I'm now getting the same error when trying to re-add the USB location to the music library. SMB v1 is turned on, the USB drive is accessible from Windows Explorer, and is also working fine as a source with my MusicStreamer app (playing songs on my iOS devices) so I'm at a loss what the issue is.
Any suggestions advice?
Thanks.
