New Update destroyed my network share Time Capsule
Answered
Hi I was hoping someone could help me here. I updated today and my network share stopped working. I removed it, factory restet the Node 2 (newest model) and can't seem to add the network share back.
For reference I am using a MacBook pro (Big Sur)
Older model Time Capsule (hasn't been an issue)
I have tried using IP address, every variation of base station name and directories I could thing of, the way they are in Finder, all caps, lower case, no spaces, - marks, you name it I've tried it.
any help would be appreciated it. o

After 48 hours of fiddling I’ve figured it out. Now the path I had to put into the network share was different this time. I have no idea why because nothing changed. But hopefully this helps someone else.
Before I enters the \\base station name\share\share sub folder
That worked fine. Update I applied to node 2 on 6/25/2021 nuked it. So I tried every single naming option between the time capsule and the node. I finally reset each and my router, placed all 3 devices about 4 feet apart and tried again. The path that finally worked is as follows
\\ipaddress\time capsule\music\tunes music3
Now music and tunes music 3 are what my data and sun data folder are named. Just FYI.

Try a reboot of you Time Capsule but if you also have a router upstream then power cycle that as well.

I would see if I can connect to the TC with the MacBook, should be able to browse to it, see the share and connect. Hopefully you can then see your music.
If your Node is using WiFi can you temporarily wire it, straight to he TC?0 -
Hi Seppi
I am able to connect and browse cia my MacBook without issue and see and play music from the tc to my MacBook.I tried wiring and I have the same issue. This one has me perplexed to say the least.

Do you have an iPod / Phone or Android device? If you do try the Bluesound App on one of those to see if you can add the share.

I should have added that to my first post. Sorry about that. I tried a few times. Same outcome. It won’t seem to let me add from the app or the desktop program.

All I can suggest is logging a support ticket from the app after trying again.
Help… Send support request.

Odd but at least it’s working.
As you are using the IP do make sure the TC if on DHCP now gets a reserved IP so it does not change.

Had the same issue after last update. Now with IP address it works again. Wasted 6 hours lifetime....
