Description Of Issue
After upgrading the QNAP package, Roon no longer starts. I’m using a dedicated SSD 256GB drive for the Roon database which is on volume 2.
I also installation “Roon Server” on this SSD, just to have everything fast.
But on this new version, I can’t pick the share from my volume 2 (SSD) as my database. I can pick the one from volume1 which runs on slow HDDs.
Interestingly my second volume was missing a linux link file under the /share directory.
After adding it, I was able to set my database folder to the 2nd volume.
Howerver now the Roon is installed in additional top level directory ‘RoonOnNAS’.
Don’t see a reason why this was added.
I had to manually copy my roon database under the ‘RoonOnNAS/RoonServer’.
Now it works fine, but had to spend 2 hours to figure out what is wrong.
I may be having the same issue. I cannot connect to Roon core 1.8 build 831 or restore a backup. The Roon UI says the core is ready but when I hit “connect” I’m asked to login. Once I login the Roon icon just spins forever. If I select “restore a backup” and select a backup (build 814), it goes through the process, tells me a database update is required, and then dies on the vine as before. It just won’t recognize the core.
Actually I’ve managed to fix the issue directly after the QNAP package update (see my next post in this topic). Whatever change was done in Roon in the follow up release did not have any impact on my installation (good or bad).
I think the real issue with the updated QNAP package was that it now expects the Roon database in a subfolder ‘RoonOnNAS’. Previously I was able to use a dir I wanted.
