A Roon on (Synology) NAS Primer

Hi All,

I’ve been a Roon ROCK user for years. I have had a long-standing issue where I get regular dropouts when using Roon ARC (but not the Roon core when at home) on my Chord Poly. Most commentators advise it’s my network or connectivity. My network is not elaborate and I live in Washington DC with a pretty strong cell signal when I’m out and about. In an effort to get this closed out, I have written to Chord (who has been really helpful), had the Poly physically examined by the Sound Organisation, and swapped out nearly all my networking equipment (for this and other reasons) but yet, the dropouts continue.

However, I have not swapped out my NUC, and would like to try to have my Synology NAS serve as the core for a test to see if that might eliminate the dropouts. I followed this guidance which is pretty straightforward. I downloaded and installed the RoonServer and see it in my installed apps:

but it is not available to launch in my main menu:

Any advice what I need to do to see the app so it can run my test?

Thanks,

David
