Access to NAS on home network (RS150b)

@fabiete did you enter the path like this (your IP and directory instead ):

smb://192.168.178.99/Directory/

@ROSELOA I bet there is nothing to show and no error message as I mentioned serveral times in this forum

Hi,

There is an update: today I was trying to login for the nth time to take the screenshots for you and this time it worked.

The only difference w.r.t. the previous n-1 times is that I had left the RS150 on for many hours since I had read on one of the reviews on HiFi magazines that it takes a very long time to scan libraries.

This time the link icon became white and I could access the various directories.

Most probably my previous logins did work (no error messages whatsoever) but, since the NAS has not been scanned yet or something like that, the link icon was still grey and no directories and files were visible.

I also believe that the process is still ongoing since at first the album artwork was not available although the albums were playing. Later on artwork started to show but not the other album metadata (Author, Artist, etc).

It is a pity that the RS150 seems to give no clue whatsoever that the scanning is ongoing and that the user manual is so stingy regarding details in general.

Now my next step will be to figure out how to create playlists and how to view my albums not only via the NAS directories but also through the ā€œAlbumā€, ā€œAuthorā€, etc. views.

I shall report any new ā€œdiscoveryā€.

Cheers,

F.

Hello,

Entering the directories works in many different ways in fact:

smb://NAS_device_name/directory/xxx/yyy/zzz
or
//NAS_device_name/directory/xxx/yyy/zzz
or
just by clicking on the directories and following the path you desire

Please see my reply to @ROSELOA.

Cheers,

F.

Thank you @fabiete and @Wideglide .

I will check if thereā€™s problem with RS150 and NAS in the situation you mentioned.

I use a Zyxel Nas and the only thing I had to do is add a Samba link to the RS150 and now Iā€™m able to play all songs directly from Nas.

Hi :wink:
I have the same problem, unable to see My synology NAS on the home network.
So I have to unmount the Roseā€™s internal SSD to update it.
And I agree that there should be a scan in progress indicator :smile: Feature wish : Bargraph for scan SSD (FranƧais/English)

Best regards

Hi Moxalain,

How long has the ROSE been ā€œtalkingā€ to your NAS? In my case it had lasted more than one day before I could start seeing the link icon lit white and reading the files on the NASā€¦

Still no complete Userā€™s Manual I believeā€¦

Pity, since the 150b is a great piece of HW and also not precisely cheapā€¦

Cheers,

Correction, I have the Rose 250, but it does not change (I think) the network connection problem.

The only thing I did was the ā€œSMBā€ procedure as in the user manual and explained on the forum.
I thought Iā€™d find the way Rose through my PC (witn win 10 explorer). I see all the devices in the house but never the Rose.

If I got to this step (see the Rose device), I could put its internal SSD (update) without having to unmount it (I tested ā€œInternal SSDā€ and ā€œExternal SSDā€. The sound is better with the internal).

The second step will be to connect my NAS. I prefer the internal SSD which works without Internet Box to the NAS which does not work without.

Yes, itā€™s true the 150b is more expensive than the 250. Which I find expensive for my fortune.

The height, I explain it in this link (so the Rose only serves me for Tidal and my SSD files):

Regards :wink:

Roseteam, please work harder on networking, we canā€™t put all video files in SSD, most of us use NAS, thx.

I have been having the exact same problem for months now. Never had this level of networking issue with any of the many high end network players I used in the past. The RS150 literally drives me crazy on that front. Leaving it on forever didnā€™t help in my case.

Fabiete,
Did you ever get an answer to your NAS question in regards to your RS150 ?

I have an RS-250 with exact same issues. I actually have tried 2 different NAS boxes, and the RS-250 will NOT accept the User and PW,even though they are correct. I spent an entire weekend, trying everything I could think ofā€¦and no luck

Please let me know your results. Thank you,

I have the same problem with my newly bought 520

I never saw a response from you on this 1.5 year old, unresolved topic, which is highly frustrating to so many of your customers.

This may fix it - have been able to duplicate the problem others have experienced and fixed it on my RS150B. See this other thread Synology NAS Connection Error

I have followed instructions from HiFi Rose support, the problem has been resolved.

@Alfred Would you mind sharing any information on this - maybe useful for others in a similar situation.

Actually Rose supports more than SMB1 now, you simply set minimum SMB1 and Max SMB3 with a new login id , and it did the trick

It worked for me as well. I deleted all old log-ins, databases, etc on the Rose. Then I created a new user group and a new user on my QNAP server and changed SMB back to 1 low, 3 high (it doesnā€™t like that since smb 1 is not considered safe). I then created a fresh path to my QNAP music folder directly on the Rose screen and voila, for the first time in almost 2 years I saw ā€˜progressingā€™ when selecting ā€˜start.a new scanā€™. It scans slowly, but I am now up to 1400 songs out of 20,000. I will just let it run. Will report back if I run into any more issues. Update: scanning finished successfully and I am playing my own music right now. 2nd update: changes SMB back to low 2, high 3 on my QNAP and still all plays fine.

Glad it is all working now.

Seems to be previous accounts/paths that can be a. problem for whatever reason?

I am not sure as I can access my Synology with Audirvana and Cary Audio without any issue. I was misled by outdated information that Rose only support SMB1 and I set my Synology to SMB1 Only at the time. Once Rose told me that they now support SMB2, I set my NAS to SMB1 min and SMB3 max and create a new user for my RS520. It worked
