Metadata Improver: Paused - Roon is having trouble verifying your connection

Roon Software Discussion

This is frustrating at best… for no obvious reason. Professional network and administration, high-speed internet connection, everything was working, until it doesn’t. Something, always something… unable adding albums, reboot of the Rock… works again, until it doesn’t. Database resets, etc. Works again, until it doesn’t.
Adding music to library now stalled. Metadata improver: paused.

Blows my mind actually how a good idea for a Software gets worse and worse over time and the product damaged with useless features.

same problem here. When I open Roon, the red “!” is lighten. A click on it says “Metadata improver paused” because of connection problems.

What will happen when I disconnect the core and then connect again to the same core? Will I loose my database and have to import all albums again?

No you won’t.

This normally means your internet connection to Roon “Home” wasn’t made as Roon started up. Just restart the server software again and it will clear. No damage to the db or your library

I see his daily when I restart my system, the Roon server starts quicker than the network , so Roon is running with no internet for a minute or so , a restart always fixes it.

My internet connection never goes down. And still I get the “Metadata Improver Paused” from time to time.

When you start Roon Server it connects with Roon cloud , if this misses for some reason this error will occur

I must have restarted my NUC ROCK 6 times in the past two days to fix various issues and yet this persists - very annoying!

Check the internet connection ?

restart Roon Server from the WebAdmin page BUT make sure your internet connection is good before you do. This error tends to be where Roon can’t connect to “home” as it starts up

I see this daily as I restart from cold, I just restart the server

How is the NUC connected to the Router ?
