Describe the issue

I’ve gone for years without any problems with Roon; it just worked. Unfortunately, since early April, I’ve had a problem where Roon will not play selected music. I subscribe to Qobuz and suspected the problem originated with their servers. However, the same problem with Roon not playing selected music sometimes occurs even when I choose music stored on my Nucleus+. What I have found is that if I reset the Roon Database and Settings, the problem is solved - until it occurs again. It’s not an everyday problem, but it is an annoying every-week problem. Somebody told me there may be a problem in the ‘handshake’ between my Nucleus and the Roon software, or between the Roon software and my dCS Network Bridge - through which I play my music.

Is there a permanent fix for this problem?

Describe your network setup

I'm using a Nucleus + connected to a dCS Network Bridge. Other components include a PS Audio DAC, PS Audio pre amp and other pieces turntable, SACDplayer, Ayre amp none of which, I think, figure in this issue
