Intermittent Freezes and Delays in Roon Playback with Qobuz on Shuffle (ref#9C3E8N)

Hey @Jonathan_Winer,

Thanks for the detailed follow up!

We checked numerous timestamps and observed the same pattern across each occurrence. There are repeating FTMSI-B timeouts with Qobuz, causing the file not to download in time for playback.

Your Roon Server likely had a good upstream connection initially but then lost it or it got throttled. Bandwidth regulation could be one thing, as well as interference from other devices in the network.

Yes, 5000 tracks is the max limit for shuffle, see more about that here.

My apologies here as I failed to recall this - if the device was removed from the chain and issues persisted, we can rule it out. :+1:

However, we’re still seeing bandwidth limits being set, likely causing these issues. For example:

Were you able to review any options to allocate additional network priority to the Nucleus from your router settings?
