As reported in many other topics apparently it's still necessary to use SMB1 for playing music from a Synology Diskstation system? It's now 2021 and I just had to change the settings on my diskstation to allow the unsecure SMB1 in order to be able to add a shared folder to my Sonos music library.
Sonos seems to be closing all topics on this forum about this subject for further comments, but is not addressing the problem?
I am not aware of Sonos closing any thread on this dead-horse-beating topic. The largest thread I think is this one:
Sonos has shown no signs of addressing this problem, correct. Because, I assume, too few customers use NAS devices to make it worth their while, and there are other work-arounds available.
in my humble opinion this assumption has not been confirmed by SONOS - let us just hope Synology will not drop SMBv1 support some day
At present, the next major release of DSM, DSM 7, has dropped support for SMB1. There is currently a workaround, but I wouldn’t count on it for release, or for long term support. See - https://community.synology.com/enu/forum/20/post/139200

Curious as to how you know Sonos is ignoring the issue. Do you have inside knowledge of engineering tasks assigned, or are you basing that statement merely on the fact that they haven’t exposed, as usual, what they’re working on? I don’t know either way, but would love confirmation if you do indeed have some insider knowledge.
It’s disappointing that Sonos ignores this issue, but not unexpected. Over the years I have purchased 17 Sonos products, used almost exclusively to play music from Synology NASs. I too, have had to sacrifice one NAS purely to cater for the lack of security in Sonos’ system.
Allied to the trade-in “offer” a year or so ago which basically asked for more cash to upgrade my system so it would continue to function in this unsecure way, I came to the decision that my significant investment in Sonos kit is at an end. I’ve ringfenced it (which was not in the plan when I bought it) and will use it until the whole thing is bricked and look elsewhere for my music requirements. I’ll have no truck with a company that doesn’t have its customers’ security at the forefront of its development efforts.
SMBv1 security isn’t really an issue, If you really care about it you’d use either a dedicated SMBv1 NAS or a NAS to SMBv1 gateway and remove the security issue.
So if it isn’t an issue, why would you have to go to additional trouble and expense to protect your system?
I don’t see why you keep apologising for Sonos… We all understand how it’s come about but failing to fix it in S2 software, where all compatible devices have plenty of storage, is very poor indeed…
I chose to use a sacrificial NAS and take the hit on cost. I don’t see why a normal user should have to run an extra server and learn linux just to have a secure system.
Alternatively, I can run a music server on my Synology NAS and cast to a CCA or even the Sonos devices themselves without using SMBv1. Just shows how out of date Sonos is, IMHO.
If I’m honest, I’d expect a £500 S2 speaker sold today to have every connection method under the sun and to meet modern security standards.
So whats your point? Facebook makes millions of dollars also but doesn’t change the fact that it sucks.

I’ve been getting frustrated with Sonos for two reasons, #1, Sonos’s lack of security and #2 the S2 app. Not sure what is going on with Sonos but 3 years ago this company, the app etc was awesome and now it seems like its heading south.
Yeah totally going south: https://investors.sonos.com/news-and-events/investor-news/latest-news/2020/Sonos-Reports-Record-Fourth-Quarter-and-Fiscal-2020-Results/

I think the forum software locks older inactive topics, check the last post and last post date.
