Describe the issue

Issues indexing library after latest update, goes so far and then looses connection to the core. It re-establishes connection and then recommences indexing only to reach the same point and then looses connection to the core again. This goes on in a seemingly endless loop.

Describe your network setup

But home hub 5, synology nas, apple Mac mini core connected to the network via Ethernet

I tried removing the nas from my set-up and reconnecting and that appears to be the root of the problem, Roon appears to be unable to re-index the files on the nas. I can acces all my files using the Blue Is app, so it’s not an issue with the nas.

A quick update, I connected my mac mini, which was running headless, to a screen and keyboard and upgraded to Sonoma. That appears to have resolved all the issues and my library has now fully re-indexed. I didn’t realise how easy to use and convenient until I didn’t have it!

Hello @Tony_Green ,

Thanks for reaching out with your report. I activated diagnostics for your account and I noticed Roon was crashing when attempting to scan the following file:

/Users/tonygreen/Library/RoonMounts/RoonStorage_9983c824d3eee557edce0cbdf2f17ddbedf2300c/Ed Harcourt/Back into the woods/04 Murmur In My Heart.flac

Can I please ask that you send us this file so that we can try to reproduce the issue on our end?

Please, let us know once uploaded or if you have any questions, thank you!

Hi thanks for getting back to me. I upgraded my Mac mini’s operating system to Sonoma, from Catalina, this afternoon and that appears to have fully resolved the issue. My library has re-indexed successfully and I can also find and play the track you identified as causing an issue.
