Multiple problems with latest builds

[killdozer (Brutalise me with music)]

Hi @ds_2, Welcome to the Roon forum, sorry to see you’re having issues, I’ll try to add a little info to help:

@ds_2

Red icon in Roon with message: “Metadata Improver: Halted. Roon needs a software update.” Even if I have been using latest software for days.

Roon is reporting - Metadata Improver halted

Hi @Tom_Russell, Our team has been looking into this and similar reports and what we’ve found is that this seems to be stemming from something on the Core or network that is blocking the Core’s connection to our servers. This might be firewall, antivirus, VPN, or even a VOIP system. Do you have anything like this on your network? If you have a different machine that you can use temporarily as your Core does it exhibit the same issue when the current Core is in this state?

I suspect the Tidal login issue causes most of your remaining issues. Roon reaches out to Tidal for searches and an overview. Adding Tidal albums will also fail if there’s a connection issue. If there is some kind of network blocking on your core (as suggested by the Metadata improver issue) that might also cause the Tidal issue?

Finally, depending on your tech know-how and bravery, this link Synology Linux Roon Server cache delete might also help (remove cache contents). For extra reference the contents of my cache directory (NUC with Debian an RoonServer) looks like this:

ls /var/roon/RoonServer/Cache/
devicedb-prod.zip  devicedb-prod.zip.etag  httpcache_2.db  httpcache.db  qobuz  qobuz_1.db  sessions  smc.db  tidal_2.db

I hope some of this is useful.
