Nucleus/ROCK CD ripping locks up sometimes [Solved with RoonOS Build 254]

This is a known issue, and has been known to Roon Labs since at least last September (and there’s a ticket in to fix it, I believe). The issue lies in the Roon OS, not the Roon software itself. So it shows itself on the Nucleus/Nucleus+ models and NUCs running ROCK.

Three things appear to be associated with the issue when it occurs:

  • The CD Ripper stops working
  • The Web Administration page stops working properly, e.g. the Eject button no longer works and a Reboot says that the system has successfully rebooted, when in fact nothing has happened.
  • On the Nucleus/Nucleus+ and NUCs, pressing the power button briefly no longer shuts them down - a forced reboot is the only option (holding in the power button for 5 seconds)

One possible workaround I’ve seen posted is that temporarily disconnecting the CD Drive and then reconnecting it may clear the issue, but I haven’t tested this for myself.

@dylan - now that the furore over 1.8 may be dying down, any chance that this ticket is getting near the head of the queue for investigation? Thanks.
