2 minute drop outs and resource leaks are back

@connor Not really, but I admit I’ve basically stopped “casually” listening via Roon. I do use search, filtering and browsing recordings via composition entry a lot (which I /think/ lands you on a pre-filtered album view for that work by default as well where the filter is separate from the usual FTS input box).

In short this is what drew me to Roon! It’s one thing that Spotify has “all the tracks”, but as a classical music lover it’s all but useful without a proper exploration database and navigation.

I do notice that FTS (full text search) becomes very slow very quickly, but I’m happy it even exists :slight_smile: I can monitor more extensively when I have another “research” session.


Oh, in possibly related news, I had an incident where the client app suddenly informed me of database corruption, which I could only resolve by actually restoring from a backup. You might be able to see when that was, but I wager it was about a month ago. I received the message spontaneously when I hadn’t really used Roon for a few days.

Hi @S_Heeren, @Fernando_Pereira

Thank you again for your patience. The team has fixed a vulnerability that could create an infinite loading state between Roon Remote and RoonServer. It’s possible this was a factor in the behavior and symptoms you’ve reported in the long and arduous history of this thread.

How are things performing on the most recent build? Are you seeing any of the same symptoms with any of the same frequency?

We have ongoing efforts to improve performance issues, so any updates will help with future fixes, as well.

Thank you again!

I’ll give it some more intensive attention the coming week(s)!

Interesting. Just going in for a quick baseline measurement, I found the unit with notably increased CPU usage over prolonged periods of time, which was usually a sign of bad things when the memory usage had grown to reach the ceiling

This time it’s with normal memory usage and - unless I forgot that I had roon running - no music play for days. I was surprised enough to check:

As you can see Roon home page confirmed my expected bleak usage stats… 28m over 4 weeks.

But I did find that there was another update pending

So, I’ll update now and start some real life usage over the coming days and keep you posted

This is the new baseline fter upgrading, also updating any pending system packages and rebooting:

That’s what healthy looks like. Although it looks like the room heating use the furnace a little more again:)

I’ve not seen the issue in quite a while. My servers stay at around 2GB, smooth sailing, thanks.
