Has anyone had luck adding their music library from a Synology NAS with DSM 7+ to a S1 configuration?  

After Hours with L2 support they finally told me, oh it wont work with DSM 7, you may want to downgrade back to DSM6. 

I just want to see if anyone out there has been able to add the music library under these conditions.

Thank you, Mike

Well, rebooting the Sonos Connect seems to  have fixed it. I now can access my Music Library (over 41,000 songs, so it was very important for me to get those back.)


Hi,

I have a Synology NAS (DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 2) and sonos S1 can connect without any problems.

First of all you have to enable SMB v1 on Synology, after that you have to enable NTLMv1 (on advanced settings). Let me know if you need help on enabling those settings.

(If you have a S2 system you don’t need underneath additional steps, but with the new courageous updated app the NAS library doesn’t works as expected, sorry for the OT comment)

 

Connect through SSH to your Synology NAS

type:

cd /etc/samba/

perform a configuration backup, type:

sudo cp smb.conf smb.conf.backup

 

modify smb.conf file, type:

sudo vi smb.conf

(basic vi commands  https://www.thegeekdiary.com/basic-vi-commands-cheat-sheet/ )

go to last row and type:

o

in order to add a line

insert the following text:

unix extensions=no

the file should looks like:

>global]

    printcap name=cups

    winbind enum groups=yes

    include=/var/tmp/nginx/smb.netbios.aliases.conf

    min protocol=NT1

    access based share enum=yes

    security=user

    local master=no

    realm=*

    passdb backend=smbpasswd

    printing=cups

    max protocol=SMB3

    winbind enum users=yes

    load printers=yes

    workgroup=WORKGROUP

    unix extensions=no

Press ESC and type:

wq

Restart SMB service:

  1. Control panel -> File service
  2. Disable SMB service
  3. Press apply
  4. Enable SMB service
  5. Press apply

 

After enabling smbv1 & NTLMv1, I was still unable to connect my S1 to my music library under Synology DSM7.  After I modified smb.conf using Stam’s instructions, it now works. 👌

 

One question:  After already wedging the door open by enabling smbv1 and NTLMv1, so we know what the effects of “unix extensions=no” are when using the shares with Unix, Linux or MacOS?
