I’m shortly looking to install Rock on a NUC but don’t have ethernet near the screen and keyboard that I will be using. Is there a means to complete Rock Installation step 6 (installation of codecs) whilst still being offline at that stage? e.g. I wont have an IP address at this point so I’m presum…

So sorry to hear. Restore backup on new core Go to settings / storage For each watched folder (and hopefully you only have 1, but I can’t tell from your screen shot), click on the three dots on the right of that folder and click “edit” Hit browse and choose the new path to the location where your …

Thanks for all these clear answers and helpful info. I now understand that I can only transfer the codec file from a PC across the network to the Rock codecs folder.

Thanks all, I’m piecing it together and see the path. Thanks for all the links, I think i have everything I need so I’m poised to give it a go and see what happens. One last question of clarification. After Step 3 copying the codecs, Step 4 in the instructions says “Restart Roon Server using the …
