I am having problems with roon and Hqplayer desktop version 4 after latest roon update. When I press play I get error message “Playback couldn’t start: authorization error”

Are you sure that you have the accept network control button clicked in HQPlayer? @jussi_laako might know better what that error message indicates.
Yes, network control button is enabled.
After further checking here’s what I found out: the issue seems to happen when HQplayer desktop is started automatically at OS startup (running on Gentooplayer XFCE version 8.60).
After I get the error within Roon, if I close HQP and restart it, then it works fine…
Problem is that I intend to use my Roon server headless, with no monitor, keyboard and mouse.
With all previous versions of Roon I never had this issue.
Hello @Stefano_Fumagalli ,
Welcome to the forum! It sounds like this issue is HQPlayer specific, so I have moved this thread over to the HQ Player section. I can’t say if this will help with your exact issue, but we have the following guide on how to configure Roon for a headless environment:
Thanks @noris for your help. The instructions you linked are not applicable as I am running on gentooplayer (linux) and not on windows.
Authorization error likely means HQPlayer doesn’t have proper internet access…
HQPlayer is likely displaying an error “Check your internet connection!”
