Be great if they can release a version of Roon without memory leaks

Been using this software for 10+ years and for the last several years, most releases suffer memory leaks. Most recently running on a Roon Nucleus 1, of course you can’t see how much memory Roon is using, but after a few days it really slows down, even with extra RAM. And the PC I use for Roon Remote, well that runs the same version and also leaks. Starts out using 500-800MB ram but after just a few days it’s up to 5GB.

If you can’t manage to fix the memory leaks can you at least provide a fix whereby Roon can reboot every day as an option….

How do you know its a leak and this isn’t just caching? I expect lots of caching to take place for things like album art etc.

Spot on. Let’s hope the next update will address this. Right now I can’t use my system, losing audio endpoint all the time. They fixed the Homepage problem but the other problems still exist :crossed_fingers:t5:

How is this related to supposed memory leaks?

Beats me, but my story is the system is getting slower and slower and in the end Roon loses contact with audio endpoint.

I believe it would be important to know…

  • how many local tracks are in your roon library
  • If you use any streaming service integrated in roon.

Local tracks: 27529.

Qobuz tracks: 63358

32 gb Ram in Nucleus One

Okay, in sum that’s already hard at the limit of 100k tracks officially supported by the nucleus One.

You may open an official ticket, support will definitely look into. Could also be that it’s not related to the pure amount of tracks in your case.

100k that is the maximum with original 4gb ram on the Nucleus. I would hope that 32gb would give me some benefit on the amount of tracks. Some updates on Roon are good and some are terrible. The 2.58 update was pretty sluggish on my system and made me reboot the One every day.

No. Roon OS simply crashes if it is out of RAM. (It does not swap RAM to disk). If it doesn’t crash, RAM is not running out and additional RAM is simply not used - it doesn’t speed up anything.

That’s on purpose precisely to avoid unpredictable performance under RAM pressure.

Your issues probably have another reason.

Well I can only tell you that when the One arrived with 4gb it had big problems just scanning the tracks before crashing. After switching to 32 everything went better. As I said it’s very sensitive to updates. I read that the system should get snappier and more responsive but the total difference happens with my system. I’m living on the edge :wink:

Thx for the info and it says that larger library will need more ram. We had some ram leaks some time ago that slowed down a lot of systems and an update that should fix it. I think we are back in the Ram gate again.

Yes because otherwise it crashes like I said. It also says several times that more RAM than the amount that is required to prevent crashes won’t speed up anything. (That’s always in reference to Roon OS only)

Just sayin‘ to focus your effort on the things that will actually address the issue you are experiencing

After the fatal update on Friday I hope we will have a new update sooner than expected and things will settle :crossed_fingers:t5:

what is your count of Unidentified albums ?

It would seem that plays a role

Simple fix

Get Up, start coffee machine , restart ROCK , all ready at the same time . Problem what problem :smiling_face_with_horns:

Those were fixed, and monitoring by a few of us in Tinkering showed that thos was successful.

It would seem that the update is fine, and the issues were cloud-related. Roon Server 2.60 is working just fine with Roon Bridge 2.60.

But you appear to have hijacked the OPs thread with an unrelated issue.

@bob_prangnell, what makes you think the current version has a memory leak?

I didn’t mean to hijack anyone I only said that I have the same symptoms. Maybe ram leaks can return with a software update? I don’t know.

about 70 albums

Roon users are not back in RAM gate

I should know

Myself and a few others detected the last one
