MacMini core slows down after a few days of use (memory foot print >10GB)

Hi @shinyc,

Thanks for giving the Mac Mini a try. I spoke to QA regarding your report today and I have some feedback for you here:

Can you provide some more information regarding this? By “RoonServer library” do you mean just the music files or is the database itself on the drive? Are you using symlinks or something similar to link to the Roon database?

In another thread you had open (Backup failed at XX:XX:XX / Error backing up database), you mentioned that it was looking like the database might possibly be corrupted. Are you still using this same database or have you started with a fresh one?

If you try using a completely fresh database and add only TIDAL/Qobuz content to your library, are you still able to enter this state of high RAM usage or does it only occur when your 200k+ tracks are part of the database? To set up the fresh database:

  • Make a Backup of your current Roon Database
  • Exit out of Roon/RoonServer
  • Navigate to your Roon’s Database Location
  • Find the folder that says “Roon” or “RoonServer” depending on your install type
  • Rename the “Roon” folder to “Roon_old” or “RoonServer” to “RoonServer_old”
  • Reinstall the Roon App to generate a new Roon/RoonServer folder
  • Verify if the same usage pattern occurs
