Description Of Issue
After the last Roon server + client update starting Roon on the Client takes a very long time, then Roon asks for my login, then I have to unauthorize. This happens every time after rebooting the Server.
Starting the Client (ASUS UX31a, Core I7, Win 10, 64 bit) takes a very long time. Win 64 Version of the Client is no longer working at all. Win 32 bit Version works somehow, but is very slow, after minimizing the Window Roon crashes (White Screen) and has to be started again. DSP Presets are not automatically initialized, I have to open DSP, which takes a long time.
Had also this weird Metadata Improver fail, after rebooting the server it was fixed. Then I had to login again…
Before the updates everything worked fine, I didn’t change anything else on Roon, Core, Library or Client.
Are you seeing this slowness occur on other remotes?
This typically occurs if there is networking trouble on the Core machine preventing a connection to our servers. Most of the time this is not a recurring issue unless there are ongoing networking problems, but let us know if you see it return.
No, only on Windows Remote. Android and IPad work fine. Also, Roon keeps on not initializing
my DSP settings automatically.
On all Remotes I have to login and unauthorize everytime after booting the NAS running Roon Core. The NAS shuts down every night und restarts next evening. The whole process of the new login takes about 5 Minutes, this is frustrating.
Performed these steps already before and now once again. No, there´s no change in behaviour. Startup takes about 1 minute. DSP- Settings are not initialized:
As Roon crashes often (minimize Bug) I have to Perform these steps often. As I mentioned before, this is the 32 bit version, the 64 bit version crashes instantly after opening.
System is a rather fresh installation of Win10 Home.
Thank You and please let me know if you need further Information.
thanks for the information and thanks to @crieke for providing roon on qnap and the formidable support here in the forum. However, i did not install the new version yet, i´m waiting for the official release on Qnap.
Having read many posts about the white screen issue with Intel HD 4000, I realise that there will be probably no solution from Roon and yes, I have installed the latest drivers. This Problem occured since the last update, so it must have been introduced with update 571. Also the Issue with the Metadata improver, sometimes I have to restart the server twice till it works. Perhaps this will be fixed, when the new Version from crieke will be installed.
