Description Of Issue
I just switched my music library from an internal SSD in the Roon Core server to a Synology DS119j NAS with one WD Red 4TB drive. When I select an album for playback the response is sluggish and the player often shows the album is not available. On subsequent tries the album plays. My files range from hundreds of MBs to a few GB. This happens with files of all sizes. Shouldn’t Roon wait until the read completes?
The Storage page has my NAS folder, and that’s all.
A friend informed me he used a packet sniffer on Roon and found it requests portions of a file as needed, and therefore can die in the middle of playback.
This is what @dylan means by “analysis”: Audio Analysis. Because you’ve switched your storage location across to the NAS, it is likely that Roon is redoing audio analysis of your entire library. This can take a while, and consume resources.
I just wanted to check in with you to see if things are performing better after turning off Audio Analysis or if you still require assistance here. After the new Synology arrives please let us know.
Also, I would double check to make sure that your Core meets our Minimum Requirements, as it sounds like the Core may be running out of resources.
Can you provide some more information as to the exact Roon login error your are receiving?
Is it being plugged into the primary router and the behavior is still the same?
Does the trial setup info work when you log in to the current Windows Core? Note: I would perform a Backup of your current Windows Roon database just as a safety measure.
