@benjamin, thanks for reporting that the case is delayed. I am, however, underwhelmed by the lack of progress and your team’s priorities.
To reiterate and clarify, you are dealing with a case in which apparently all Danish users are continuously interrupted when playing a handful of the best available national non-commercial radio stations with pop, jazz, classical and regional and national news.
When trying to play the available high quality 320 kbps streams (which are the ones users in Denmark should be able play), we get them with 30 minutes delay and after the first segment has played, we get a continuous repetition of those 30 minutes. When we play the lower quality 128 / 192 kbps mp3 streams (which I consider a temporary workaround due to Roon’s problems with HLS), they often stop and need to be restarted manually. This can sometimes happen dozens of times per hour. Both of these issues have apparently been going on for years (I see it mentioned as far back as 2022 - Some HLS Live Radio Streams Play With 30 Min Delay [Ticket In] - #5 by Hasse_Hagen_Johansen).
I, for one, will still not hesitate to mention Roon for its many merits, but to any Danish person I will also say: DO NOT BUY. Find another solution until this is fixed if you want to be able to listen to the Danish public radio stations (DR = Danish Broadcasting Corporation).
If you don’t see your market growing in Denmark as elsewhere, I think this would be a good explanation. Are your colleagues in charge of prioritization of development and bug fixing aware that this is a general issue which I believe has been affecting all Danish users for years?
