Chris -
You know my posts enough to realize that in general I’m positive about Roon, so I consider it unfair to paint me with this brush.
Lately, the needed reboots that many people are experiencing, the rash of ‘No Audio Devices Found’, the ongoing complaints about the ineffectiveness of Search, the pain of trying to deal with Box Sets (classical or otherwise), the general fragility of the Roon database and now an update that impacts connection to the Core are things that can no longer be ignored.
If the software gets a name as being too flaky, then no amount of enhancements are going to get over that.
You complain about people thinking they are the only user, but then you say this -
BTW - After a couple of reboots, I have no problem connecting to the Core (RoonServer under WIN10), but that’s not the bigger picture.
