I just updated flawlessly to S2 & V12. Are SMB shares with v2 or better v3 supported by now?

Release notes for S2 v13.4.1 confirm support was added for SMBv2 and SMBv3 shares, installed it yesterday and it has been running great against a Synology backed library. I am very pleased that this has been finally added, getting SMBv1 out of environments is great for security!

I have a Synology NAS (DSM7) and set up an account for Sonos Access to the Music folder of that NAS only. Set Sonos as the user name and added a suitably long password. Works a treat.

BUT

Sometimes when the NAS has gone into Idle it can take 5-10 seconds for Sonos to see the Music folder and throws a few “Can’t find track” errors. Soon clears though.

@bockersjv

Can you elaborate on this please?

I have a Synology NAS (DSM7) too, and my music library has been refusing to play properly. I can see everything listed, but it frequently skips tracks. (Log files show it is trying to connect using SMB1).

Are you saying you have a separate account on your NAS for Sonos only? Why would that make a difference?
Thanks

Yes I set up a Sonos “user” with a Password on my NAS with RW access to my Music Folder only.

Set Application for this user as :-

Audio Station,DSM and SMB only.
Hibernation set at 1 hour in Power settings.

Not sure if this will sort your issue but it solved intermittent access issues I had and is good practice anyway.

Good luck
