IPv6 a cause of several frequently searched Roon data retrieval errors

For those that may have reached this thread because of:

“Can’t connect to Roon Search” message when trying to search
Whole albums won’t load, only individual songs on albums
‘View complete album’ command missing
Favorites from Qobuz / Tidal aren’t syncing
Metadata images are blank or sparse

All of these happened to me on a new Roon server build on Linux. I thought the db was corrupted. I noticed the router had IPv6 DHCP leases. Once IPv6 was disabled on the device all of the above problems disappeared immediately.

I hope this helps someone

IPv6 is something that should be enabled on all modern networks. DHCPv6, however, is not something that works with all devices. I recommend configuring your network to use SLAAC only and see if that works for you.
