Description Of Issue

I have my core on a QNAP HS-251+. This has a Quad core 2.0 GHz processor and 2GB DDR3L RAM. I have been using this as my core since purchasing Roon a couple of years ago without issue. I use a LUMIN D2 streamer running through a Simaudio i7 amp, etc. I use an iPad Pro as a controller. Tonight, for some reason, it wouldn’t automatically connect. Instead, it brought up a window for me to choose my Roon core, which I pressed the connect button corresponding to my core. In doing so, it brings up a roon sign in page. When I try signing in, it brings up an authorization page showing my NAS and a button to unauthorized it. The only thing I can think of that has changed since the last time I used my system was I had to unregistered my NAS and reregister it so I’m not sure if that is creating the issue I’m currently having or not. Can you please help? A couple of pics follow:

Hi @Mark81,

Are you using the latest version of QNAP? There have been some changes that might help with this, but it is still going through the QNAP App Store cycle, you can install a manual copy in the meantime though, see:

Fix for recurring authorization prompt

I have put updates for the QNAP and Asustor NAS (which have been sent to QNAP App Center / Asustor App Central) on the roononnas.org website, for manual installation as long as they are not officially published. It should fix the recurring authorization prompt after NAS reboot, introduced in Roon Server build 571. Update: Roon Server for ASUSTOR has been published to the ASUSTOR App Central.

Download the updated app from roononnas.org Login on the QNAP Open the App Center Click on [grafik] (top right) Click on Browse and select the just downloaded file; click on Install [grafik] Confirm by clicking on OK [grafik] Set the mark on “I understand the risks and want to install this application.”; click on Install [grafik] Wait until the installation has finished.

Before I received your replies, I unauthorized my NAS and tried reconnecting and for some reason, It connected me as it normally did. I’m listening to music through it now. I didn’t quite understand what you were suggesting I do with my NAS anyway.

@Mark81 - You should still update the QNAP package once you get a chance or the update is published on the store, the issue may re-occur until you update.

Ok, I will, thanks

I went to roononnas.org, but all that seems to be is how to install roon on my NAS or create the log file. I already have roon on my NAS, but I keep having to unauthorize my NAS before I can use roon. I’m not sure what you were suggesting I do.

What noris is saying is that you need to update the QNAP App with the one on the roononnas.org link. He knows you have the old one installed at the moment. It’s the QNAP App that’s causing the problem.

1. Follow the link again and download the updated App
2. Login to your QNAP and go to the App Centre
3. Select install App Manually from the top of the page (it’s the one with the little +)
4. Browse for the file you downloaded and install it

Your app should now be updated to the latest one and Roon should work normally again.
Hope this helps
