Windows Server 2019 Datacenter 1809 (OS Build 17763.914)
Network Details (Including networking gear model/manufacturer and if on WiFi/Ethernet)
Core connected via Gigabit-LAN to AVM FritzBox 7590 (latest firmware). MacBook (2017)
Audio Devices (Specify what device you’re using and its connection type - USB/HDMI/etc.)
MacBook (2017) CoreAudio output via WiFi (AC)
Description Of Issue
I get the “An audio file is loading slowly…” message almost on each track, Roon then skips to the next one (to a lesser extent also on 44/24 and 44/16). All sample rates work fine when playing back in JRiver (similar setup).
Currently listening on a Roon Endpoint which is connected via LAN and no dropouts yet. However, as I stated above, a similar setup that gives me headache with Roon works nicely with JRiver.
As noted in our Networking Guide, we always recommend using an Ethernet connection whenever possible. It sounds like using Ethernet has helped here, so we recommend continuing to do so. If you run into any issues with this configuration please do let us know!
Keep in mind that Roon’s realtime music streaming protocol, RAAT, is designed to keep multiple endpoints in sync and may behave very differently with respect to network flakiness than whatever JRiver uses.

Hans, where is this track coming from? Locally on the Core machine, over the LAN from another local machine, or over the WAN from Tidal or Qobuz or Dropbox? “Loading slowly” implies that the data of the track is slow coming to the Core, doesn’t it?
Thanks for your responses. The music file does come from a core connected via Gigabit LAN to a router, which I connect to via WiFi (AC). Just copied a folder with 3.5 GB of data from the music library to another drive (SSD in the core) and I get about 200 MB/sec, should be sufficient, no?
