#UE MUSIC LIBRARY SYNOLOGY UPGRADE#

its perhaps time to upgrade your devices if you want/need this feature, otherwise I would rely on your local network security/software to keep your NAS share safe and you can always opt to use the Plex service instead.Ĭan you expand on using the Plex service instead? The S2 products are the only way to achieve having the higher (more secure) version of SMB - what you’re asking for is not viable for Sonos to do due to the hardware limitation, much in the same way an old monochrome TV will not display colour via its screen. hence the need for the split to S2 System, plus the older devices we’re running out of memory/storage space. My understanding has been that the Linux Kernel used on the older S1 devices does not support a higher version of SMB and it’s not viable to change the kernel on the old hardware.

And the risk is not limited to “someone gets to listen to your music without permission” the risk is that someone gets your credentials & exploits that to attack something important… keep anything important on your NAS? It’s now at greater risk! Sonos has let us down in a huge way here because they will not upgrade the Sonos Controller! We shouldn’t be at greater risk because I don’t want or need to replace 8 or 10 older Sonos speakers. Synology’s DSM software gives you dire warnings, and advises against making the changes required to connect with Sonos. But here’s the sad truth: It’s actually a “Sonos Problem”, and “Our Problem”! Why? The SMB v1 & NTLM v1 protocols are horribly weak, and increase our risks of being hacked. It’s great to have a solution for the “Synology Problem”.
