Running Roon now on Windows 8 on the MacMini. Wow is it so much faster to scan the library. (maybe I will risk Windows 10 next)
There is something seriously wrong with the way MacOS browses NAS shares, which I think is the root cause of my library issues.
After testing El Capitan Apple seem to have done a good job at fixing those issues, but unfortunately we will need to wait for Roon to catch that up.
PS: in an earlier email I threatened to go back to Jriver 20 on El Capitan, which I did for 1 day before realising there is no contest. I could not go back to that interface with EOS remote. YUCK
Full Steam ahead Roon, get those devās working 24/7
Itās really no use testing against El Cap until the beta cycle has stabilized, which could be well into August or even September. As in previous cycles, core changes and last minute turnarounds will happen.
Roon devs have been working like madmen since release, ironing out kinks and adding new functionality. With iOS, headless and metadata editing around the corner, it would be a waste of resources chasing compatibility with a beta OS.
My Arial font family is present and active, but Roon still hangs on start (just ābouncesā for a couple of minutes and then stops). No messages in console, and once the icon stops bouncing, itās still in hung state and must be forcibly stopped (āForce Quitā).
ok, that clearly isnt itā¦ weāll have to take a lookā¦ itll be a quick thing im sureā¦ the bigger issue is that every OSX seems to tweak the sound stuff a lot, breaking buffers and timings.
Still not launching here (beta 4), but different symptoms: icon bounces only twice, application does not launch, but not in ānot respondingā state afterwards.
@jhwalker, dont know how technical you are, but if you can open up the Terminal app on your mac and run this command, it will generate a log file on your desktopā¦ could you email that to contact@roonlabs.com ?
Thanks for your help. If anyone else is having this issue on El Capitan, you can do the same and itāll help me out. If you are running fine, donāt send me anything.
@jhwalker thanks! your issue is actually resolved in developmentā¦ the splash screen at the moment requires Arial, and it looks like you might have it disabled.
In our fixed code, we back off to the system font if you donāt have Arial, so this wouldnāt prevent you from starting up.
However, until that is released, I do have a fix for you:
Open FontBook, and look for Arial in your list of fontsā¦ I bet itās disabled. Just re-enable it and rerun Roon.
I actually tried that before and Arial shows up as āactiveā in Font Book. That said, Font Book is also broken in the latest beta so I canāt look again right now. Iāll look forward to the next build, but not sure how Iāll get it, since updates only seem to happen when the client is actually running
Just installed El Capitan Public Beta 2 and Roon Client is back to normal. My server machine is still running Yosemite so I canāt speak to that, but it should be okay. Previous versions of El C, Roon locked up on start and I had to reboot.
For the record, this is Mac OS 10.11 Beta (15A225f).
I am a developer so inevitably end up running a few Betaās. OS X is very stable, El Capitan is performance update they havenāt changed much of the UI.
Normally run them on secondaryās, once they get to Beta 4 or 5 they are good to run on your main machine. Canāt believe you are still on Mavericks.
so I canāt look again right now. Iāll look forward to the next build, but not sure how Iāll get it, since updates only seem to happen when the client is actually running 
Iād be too afraid that itād mess up my music!
