Error Message - Metadata improver halted. Says Roon needs an update but it doesn't

[Stephen_Graham]

sonictransporter running Roon version 1.7 - Build 571

I noticed an error message today. The Metadata Improver is halted because I need a software update. See screen shot.

However, if I look at the Settings under “About” it says everything is up to date.

How do I fix this?

Sorry to see you are having the problem. Lots of others have run into too.
This seems to be a working solution:

Metadata Improver: “Halted. Roon needs a software update”

Ok, fixed it. Rebooting and hard power off and on many times did not help. But I got onto my SonicTransporter OS and turned off ROON Server app and then restarted it again. This stopped the continous uodating of database and error message about Metadat Improver is gone more importantly, all the Album art can now be displayed. Phew!.

Hi @Stephen_Graham,

We are looking into this issue, but as @grossmsj mentioned, a reboot typically sorts this out.
Can you please try to reboot your Roon Server and let us know if it helps?

[Stephen_Graham]

I did that and it does seem to have fixed the problem. Thank you.

Happy to hear that the reboot helped clear this up @Stephen_Graham!
Do let us know if you run into any other difficulties!
