[image] Chris_Jenkin1: the log file shows it is using the system version of ffmpeg, whether I put the new ffmpeg file in the bin folder or not. ok. Just for clarification: You’ll need ffmpeg for the amd64 architecture. When you download it from johnvansickles page , you’ll normally need to ext…

OK - so I used the AMD64 ffmpeg, no change. The UI still shows Roon is using the system ffmpeg version. I then stopped Roon, moved the entire 5Gb RoonOnNas database without change back from the plug-in Samsung USB SSD to where it used to be, in my Media folder on the main QNAP storage, restarted Ro…

And just to add that it was a job and a half getting Roon working after all this - the database move seemed to corrupt something. Had to start over, fortunately not so much lost - had to set up all the audio devices again. Now listening to calming Radio 3!

Out of curiosity, are you still having this issue with the new builds? My gear is similar, and I’m using a USB ssd drive for the database. I’m able to update my ffmpeg but the system reverts every night, forcing me to retsart the service if I want to play Live Radio or mp3, etc. What’s the differen…

I gave up trying, put the core back on the NAS discs and focused on improving the network instead. So now, apart from the well reported but yet to be fixed (by Arcam) problem with the Arcam Solo Uno volume control via Roon, Roon loses the Arcam perhaps once or a couple of times a day, and finds it …

I’ve got this issue as well, also on a TS 251+, also with the roon software on an external SSD drive. I had it previously working with these devices, but due to a long story, ended up reformatting my SSD, reinstalling Roon, and when I add the new Jogn Van Sickle ffmpeg to the proper folder and rebo…

Hi Mark - no, sorry. I gave up. Performance is OK with the QNAP spinning discs, and even the Arcam Solo Uno is not dropping out as often at the moment. My only thought is whether it depends on what kind of plug-in SSD is used. I just used a USB stick, but maybe something else is needed. Chris

@crieke Any thoughts or advice on this?

Nothing further tried at the moment.

I have exactly this problem. Moved to a Samsung SSD for database. Tried putting ffmpeg into RoonOnNas/bin. It still picks up version 3.3.6 (system version?). which ffmpeg do I need? I have QNAP T235A but Roon Server is on the Samsung SSD. I have tried the AMD and the i686 but neither get pic…
