Description of Issue
it has been very hard if not impossible at times to connect to search–I’m continually asked to retry an artist or an album. This could be because the search term is not being deleted from the search box and I may be in a continuous loop, or because a long list of previous searches continues to appear It helps sometimes when I delete the search term and delete the long list and, in those cases, Roon delivers fast results of the search as it always has – but I don’t think these workarounds resolve the “unable to connect to search" problem. I’ve re-booted my entire system several times and the problem persists. When I close Roon and start it up an old search is spinning in the box. The fast results when I am able to connect suggests it’s not the size of my library, and everything else is working perfectly in Roon via my system as before the updates cc @noris@danny
Do you have a large library in your local storage? Could you please try to disable it and see if the problem persists?
I don’t think either that the problem is a large library per se, but there might be some background processes that get in the way of search running correctly.
Yes, I have a large library on my QNAP. Have just shut it down leaving me with slightly under 1000 albums and the search works properly. One big difference I see right away is that while the search term remains in the search box and the list of previous searches is fairly long, beneath the box the search stops spinning almost immediately
Thank you for the swift response. This confirms my suspicion. At the moment, I can’t reproduce the issue locally, but I’ve notified our QA team about it.
For now, as a workaround, I recommend that you add only a small subset of the storage while we find a proper solution.
I’ll keep this ticket open and notify you as soon as we have a solution.
Depends on how it’s organized. In my case, I would disable the main music directory, and just add a few of the smaller sub-directories separately. Once the issue is fixed, you can just reverse this step.
I don’t have subfolders in music on my qnap and just re-started the nas so fingers crossed. I’ll be pleased to send log files to your QA people if that will help. This was a strange update that had a second delayed step of updating the data base too. Then I ran into the problem connecting a usb drive on which I back up the data base to my nucleus +. A friend of mine didn’t have to do the second step, and he’s had no problem with the usb/nucleus connection where his library is located
I think search may be working now; your people may have been working on it as something weird happened this morning as Roon suddenly spent a lot of time searching for the nucleus +
Search is still not working for me – at all. Which means that Roon is very difficult for me to use with my large library. A progress report would be welcome. cc @danny
I am having a similar problem ‘cannot connect to roon search’. Nothing is searchable. I have rebooted the core (on a Mac Mini) a few times, but it’s not working.
Thanks; everything is working very nicely now – but I’ve yet to have to re-boot my nucleus + after the smooth update. Will let you know if the WEB UI route doesn’t work [which happens about half the time] and how many times/how long it takes to find the core. I raise this question because when @wes was helping me before the update he seemed to indicate that I should be coming back online very quickly after I press the power button
