Reply To: Synology Mount Issue

I am posting here as I have a similar problem to Tobias and I have not been able to solve on my own.
Please help me if you can !

I just installed a raspberry Pi 3 as Squeezebox Server. It works great , temporarily set up a USB hard drive to test and I got that figured out no problem.
I just installed a new Synology NAS (216J) for the permanent music storage. I know nothing about NAS devices and very little about networking in general. I can see the NAS in windows and also can see the“//SYNOLOGYNAS/music“ folder when I hit the “ show network devices “ botton in max2play web interface
I enabled user “ guest “ in the NAS and gave is a password “ password“

I tried a couple of ways to mount it:

//192.168.2.16/music
/mnt/share
cifs
user=guest,password=password,sec=ntlm,iocharset=utf8

//SYNOLOGYNAS/music
/mnt/share
cifs
user=guest,password=password,sec=ntlm,iocharset=utf8

I always get the following error:

„mount error: could not resolve address for SYNOLOGYNAS: Unknown error
Mountpoint NOT added! Please refer to the description below! “

But there is no description below.

This is driving me crazy so any help would be appreciated. Keep in mind by NAS and max2play setup knowledge is very limited.
