I’m using a Grimmaudio MU1 as Roon core (pre installed on the streamer), with latest software updates both of the streamer and for Roon. I have a Qobuz subscription and stream music, but also buy albums that I then store on the MU-1 hard disc. The system is controlled with an IPad and worked fine for some weeks. But recently, after adding more albums to the internal hard disk, the “Metadata improver halted” message appeared with a spinning wheel in the upper right corner. Also, some of the album artwork that I added to the library is not displayed anymore.
I’ve tried to do some adjustments as suggested in this forum, but none of them is working.
So, my last hope is to get help from the Roon support team directly.
Have you made any edits to this content in Roon?
Is the album identified in Roon?
Is this content from local files, TIDAL, or Qobuz?
I tried these steps already, without success.
Also the latest software versions are installed.
mu1-003272 (192.168.129.3) O
Roon version 2.0 (build 1272) production - Read change log
You have the latest version installed.
I rebooted the core several times which didn’t solve the problem neither. I’m now considering to completely resetting both the Grimm Mu-1 and Roon database. Would you recommend that?
Disclaimer: I’m just another Roon user trying to help other users.
Now to your question. Based on the linked help article and past occurrences, the likely source is not the Roon software itself. The Roon software relies on the networking capabilities and connection of the computer it is installed on to work properly. In your case this seems to be a Grimm Audio MU1 device, so I would suggest you contact Grimm Audio support to help you troubleshoot further. That is my recommendation.
Thank you for your time.
I contacted Grimm in the first instance … they referred me to Roon…
I’ll try again, but there seems to be an impressive number of Roon users experiencing the same issue. There are numerous treads in this forum and it looks like most of the users get around this problem more by coincidence (rebooting and similar stuff) than by clear instructions from Roon.
All the best,
Ralph
Rebooting (and ensure that Roon is fully updated) are “clear instructions from Roon.” If these don’t help then it’s most likely network related. Your network is not provided by Roon so they, and also us other users that try to help, can just give hints. The actual troubleshooting has to be done by affected users.
I move the thread to the support section of the forum (as users are instructed to do by the help article). Please make sure to follow-up with a filled-out support template:
