Description of Issue
Roon app play/pause button stops responding about 3-5 minutes after Core reboot
When this is occurring, I cannot get to a “Device Setup” screen for any audio device.
If I click on the zone icon at the bottom right (left of volume control), the pop up list shows the zone device with the volume gif to the left of it like its playing. The pause button to the right of the device is non-responsive
If I restart the Core on my Synology NAS, everything works fine for about 3-5 minutes. i.e I can select one or more zones, play different music in a zone or group zones but after a couple minutes, the system stops responding and whatever is playing continues to play until it comes to the end of the queue. Then I cannot start something new.
Note, if I have not started music in the 3-5 minute window, then I cannot play either.
The remainder of the app appears to work. Ex:
- I can disconnect and reconnect to the Core, but the problem persists.
- I can search my library and select a new artist/album/song. If I press play the song does not start and the last played song still shows in the player at the bottom of the screen.
- I can go in and out of any of the settings (except as noted above device setting)
The Roon app sees my network, core and all devices. When the core is stopped and restarted, the Roon app sees it immediately.
My Sonos devices show up twice in the app, once as Sonos devices and once as Airplay devices, it sees my PC and recognizes the Lumin X1 as a Roon Ready device.
When the problem occurs, it manifests on my iPad, iPhone or PC version of the Roon app all at the same time. In other words, it does not appear to be dependent on the instance of the app or the device that the app was running on when the problem occurs. To be clear, when the problem is occurring the same current song shows on any instance/device, cannot get to a device setting on any instance/device, the zone icon shows that a song is playing whether it is or is not on any instance/device
