Network File Sharing (macOS) - adding a Network Share not working
Answered
hi all. I've just bought my first Bluesound Node N130, and I have successfully it set up and have it running with Spotify, Airplay and Bluetooth. Using the internal DAC, and feeding a Naim amplifier.
"Manually Add A Network Share" is simply not working! No matter what I try, I simply cannot get the Node to handshake with my Mac mini where my ripped CD music library is stored (iTunes folder) and always receive the "No Shares Found" message of doom. Mac is an up to date M1 Mini running Sonoma.
I've been trying to get this working on and off for a couple of days now, and it is proving infuriating beyond belief. I've followed these instructions..

But it is still not working, so any help most welcome indeed. Please!

Working with Bluesound support might be quicker, after trying to add a share in the BluOS App please select Settings, Send Support Request so the Bluesound Support Crew can review the log file and take a closer look.
In the meantime things like VPNs or Anti Virus software can cause issues, also keeping the Mac’s name short and simple can help e.g. MacMini is the name my M1 mini goes by. Another trick is to use the Mac’s IP address in the URL you are entering rather than the name incase your Router is not resolving names correctly.

Many thanks! Yes, i've just done that via a remote screen share, I think the issue has been resolved. The File Share has been added, and the Node is busy indexing the music files. Hopefully this has done the trick!
