Hi @Mikael_Stenhem,

Automated diagnostics, which were activated when you submitted your report here, indicate that you’ve used Roon since you last posted. Are you still encountering this freezing issue with your queue?

If so, does it make a difference if you try to change Zones in Roon? Are you able to play to another endpoint? What about if you right-click on an Album (since you mentioned you can browse), and select “Play Now?”

Please let us know if you still require assistance. Otherwise, this thread will auto-close after a few more days of inactivity.

Thank you and we’ll await your response.

Hi @Mikael_Stenhem,

We haven’t seen a response to this thread yet and it will shortly auto-close without any new activity from the OP.

However, the diagnostics available to our team indicate that your RoonServer machine encounters a locked .tmp file when it attempts to access the RAATServer registry to register Zones.

The most common culprit in this scenario is third-party antivirus software (possibly even the Windows Defender firewall). Make sure that both RAATServer.exe and RoonServer.exe are safelisted in any security software you’ve installed on your RoonServer machine.

You mentioned that playback on both your iPhone and your computer was failing. Logs also indicate that RoonServer is having a difficult time reaching Roon Remotes over the local network, which would include the RAAT instances on the iPhone. It’s entirely possible that this is also the result of an overzealous firewall/anti-virus software, but I recommend enabling multicast forwarding in your router settings administration page for due diligence.

We hope this equips you to make the necessary changes to restore playback. We’ll watch for a response here, but be mindful that threads auto-close after a duration of inactivity from the OP, as mentioned above. We’ll respond promptly if you have any further questions. Thank you!
