Playing music from Twonky Server on Sonos

I am new to this so please bear with me.

I have a Western Digital MyCloud EX2 Ultra hosting a Twonky Server (Version 8.5.2-5) to provide access to Pictures, Video and Music. All works fine except the Music will not play on my Sonos Play1 via the Sonos app (Version: 13.3 OS:S2) loaded on my (Android) mobile devices.

The Sonos app sees the Music (Folders, Albums, Tracks) but says “an error occurred while adding tracks to the Queue (701).

On the Twonky Server, the Sonos support option is OFF. This is because the text warns that the option prevents Windows Media Player running on the same machine, from sharing media. I did once set it on, but the required server restart failed (I am using a Windows 10 laptop to configure the Twonnky Server). I have also read that “The Sonos feature included in Twonky is not functionally supported. WD support Sonos using SMB”.

I do not really understand what that means but have also read “I’ve activated (SMB1, SMB2, SMB3) and (NTML V1 and NTML V2) and I’m able to add it to Sonos app). I do not understand what this means or how to do it. As I understand that Microsoft dropped SMB1 etc. from W10 because of security issues, I am reluctant to make these changes.

Can anyone help please?

Hi,

Please refer to this KB article: My Cloud OS 5: Sonos Library SMB Connection Error

Hi Neha_07 and thank you for your help.
Can you confirm that to make this work, I have to make changes that (according to WD Support) are “deprecated since 2014 and considered obsolete and insecure”?
Also, if I make these changes (from a W10 based UI) will I still be able to see the Twonky Server?
