I think so. I remember that streams with meta-data can be wonky. @BrianW might be able to say more.
I donāt think thatās the same issue. That was when a FLAC stream incorporated metadata in a substream by substream format. The BBC high bit rate stream is different.
Here we are using @alec_eiffel 's metadata service which pulls metadata from an associated server and adds it to Roon. As far as I can see this should not have any effect on the audio streaming, but @alec_eiffel will know for sure.
For what itās worth, I have just played the high quality BBC R4 stream ovsr a program change and had no problems.

@BrianW: youāre perfectly right. The original audio stream is kept untouched, the Roon Core is retrieving metadata separetely from another dedicated server, and the Roon Client is displaying it. I canāt imagine that the extra load on the network of periodically retrieving metadata can ābreakā the audio stream. I am a daily Live Radio listener and in the last months I have not experienced any dropouts on the āmetadata enhancedā audio streams, including BBC 3 and 6 (I donāt listen to BBC Radio 4).

The BBC streams are a nightmare in the UK.
Iāve just replaced all my network including router and they still cut off while no other content does.
You only have to read the post below.
I raised an issue for 6Music and after 4 days have had no response.
With all the the threads and posts about this issue I get the feeling roon support are deliberately ignoring it.
Similar in Belgium for radio Klara.
