Samba Could Not Find Child

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Often if Samba isn’t showing up in my network I just restart the add-on and it fixes itself.
Was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this up? Otherwise I was just going to make the add-on restart anytime our Mac connects to the WIFI network and solve it that way.

The log just says the following most mornings…

I have the same problem. Can’t figure it out.

Same here.

What I ended up doing is running an automation so when my computer turns on it restarts the Samba Hassio Add-on and that works perfectly.

  # MBP Turns On, Restart Samba
- alias: Restart Samba
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.macbookpro
      to: 'on'
  action:
      - service: hassio.addon_restart
        data:
          addon: "core_samba"

My Mac is always on.

I still have this

This again. Usually I have to wait for an update. Restarting the add-on gets it working for a time.
