Description Of Issue

Everything seems to work ( very pleased with service ) but Roon only reads about 107 folders from dnla service when it has 500 folders.
Is there a limitaion with the trial version?

Roon doesn’t work with DNLA. It works by you specifically pointing it at the file locations you want scanned. Where is your Roon core? On the laptop?

Ah , yes mislead the community here, it is connected to network drive same issue, only reads so many folders then gives up, check files etc all ok.

5

Have you checked in settings/library to see.if it logs any skipped files?

6

The trial version is fully functional so I’m not sure what’s going on.

What is the folder hierarchy of the music directory? How has it been added in Roon. Are permissions fully open on all directories?

That could well be a limitation of the router then. All’s well that ends well!

Hi @Ian_Underwood,

Welcome to the forum!
It sounds like you sorted the issue out, so I’ll go ahead and mark this one as [Solved].
If you wish to read more on storage, I would suggest looking over our Add Folders By Path guide.
