SMB2 (or SMB3) support must be supported NOW!

We are writing summer 2019 and still Sonos only supports SMB version 1 for the Music Library share.

This is not acceptable.

A file share running SMB1 is extremely vulnerable to all the variants of cryptolocker virus that exists today. File share servers (NAS, Windows, Apple OS) can only support one version of SMB - so you cannot from the same box have one file share (for Sonos) using SMB1 and the other file shares using SMB2 or SMB3. This way Sonos puts each and every file share at serious risc - just because they don’t update their file share protocol to comply with this century.

And for the record - the “solution” through PLEX is not a solution. Unstable at best.

    2 years after this post SONOS have still not resolved this issue. They forced us to upgrade to V2 products to “enable new functionality” but their customers security apparently isn’t important to them. BlueSound do recognise the issues with SMBv1! 

     

    Sonos have confirmed they are working on the issue and plan for SMB 3 support.  No date has been given, nor is that likely to be given until it arrives.

     

    I suggest you go with Bluesound if it is that vital to you.  Not sure what the forcing was for S2 is about, none of the new functions affects the prime music playing functions, it was more to support new devices from what i can see, as well as Dolby Atmos

    I hesitate to say this, but my Amp and Ones appear to be talking to my Synology NAS using SMB3 now.  All devices and controllers are running S2 v13.4.

      That would be great! Any news about the 65k limit?

      I want to use my Sonos with my Synology without using an insecure filesharing protocol. Is that really such a tough ask?

        I join the requirements to introduce support for SMB2 and SMB3.  2022 is coming soon!

        Read the thread, particularly the post above yours.  It’s already here.

        I guess biggest issue here is NTLMv1 not really SMB versions. My Sonos speaker cannot access Synology as NTLMv1 is security risk.

         

        EDIT: When I’ve enabled SMB v3 on Synology (by default it was up to SMB v2 only) actually I can again connect to Synology.

        I got my Synology already working with SMBv2 for a while and shared my experience in this post

        Could be. If you disable smb1 then Sonos speaker auto connected to smb2 (obviously). What I did is left smb1 and risen the maximum smb to smb3. Speaker auto recognized it and connected to smb3. Later on I completely disabled smb1 and all continued to work.

        So, to solve Sonos to Synology interconnection either disable smb v1 or allow smb3 as maximum smb allowed. This worked to you or latter to me.
