Problem adding Local Share
AnsweredI have a Mac laptop running Sonoma 14.2 and I am not able to add my Music folder as a Local Share. This is what I tried:
Settings --> Music Library --> Local Shares --> +
I type in "\\Apollo\Music". (I have also tried using "Browse" to get to the folder)
Then a box pops up that says "Adjust Folder Permissions" with a button that says "Authenticate". When I click that, it asks for my password, which I enter.
Next, it says "Configuring" and then 2 seconds later, I get the message "NOT COMPLETE, There is a problem adding this local share" and a popup that says "Share URL must be in the form \\Computer Name\Share"
I have adjusted the permissions on all of the music related folders. Nothing works. Please help.

Try it with the ip address (192.168.xxx.yyy) of your share: \\192.168.xxx.yyy\Music

Some googling shows there are problems with SMB on Apple. If your Bluesound gear is up to date, it should support SMB ver 3.0. So that couldn't be the culprit and I guess Apple no longer supports ver 1.0 , which had safety issues.
The best solution by far will be the use of a NAS.
Bluesound support can probably help you, best send a request through the app at the time the error occurs.
The log that is attached to the request will give some info about the cause.

Hello There, have you solved your problem now? I've bought a Node 2 and i have the same problem when trying to share my music folder in BluOs App. I've tried every possibility given in the bluOs guide (network file sharing and local file sharing), it seems that the BluOs App can't see the path to the folder.
Otherwise is it possible to disable SMB on the Mac?

On the Mac, is the hard drive internal or external? If external what is it’s format (check in Diskutil)
