I’ve seen the text a lot on my screen: “Qobuz media loading slowly. This may indicate a networking or connectivity problem.”
The track I choose to play isn’t played and Roon skips to the next, in my Play Queue.
What could I do for a smoother playback performance maybe? Looking forward to hear from you.
You might need to post details of your network and server setup
I’m in the UK and have been streaming Qobuz all afternoon, the first 7 Van Halen releases and they range from 96 - 192k, I have not had a single dropout, skip or pause.
Sometimes Qobuz service seems to differ between countries, using Roon I’ve always found it to be reliable.
I have my server (Apple Macbook) and also my Roon Ready device (Devialet Audio) connected fully wired. And as a Wifi router Fritz!Box all up to date. For optimal performance as far as I can see.
I would suggest posting in the support section, maybe your server logs can indicate the cause. @Roon_Moderators can this be moved to the Support area please?
Axel_Lesch, yes I did a power cycle on my Fritz!Box, this morning.
My current setup is all wired. From router to the server as well as from router to my streamer and Roon Ready device (Devialet audio). Also I’ve removed the Fritz!Repeater out of my network some time ago.
I use to jump a lot between the tracks that I choose to play that I’ve put in my Queue. Maybe that’s an important thing to know.
I went to an hifi audio store one year ago, with the most advanced equipment and setup as well I believe. I’ve auditioned some nice (LINN) hifi ROON Ready speakers there that I would like to hear.
In fact I’ve noticed exactly the same as I’ve done at home, now and then. There was skipping of tracks I select to play here, as well.
Isn’t this a common thing, with ROON? Maybe it’s a bit too demanding for nowadays gear to really get it right? Or maybe I’m the only one bothering?
Looking forward to hear from you.
I can only speak for myself, it’s not the case for me .
I’m just thinking of something. Back then it was about long gaps between tracks, Roon generally scrolling slowly through the library, stalling and skipping tracks, etc. I made a screen recording at the time to show that it wasn’t the same for me. @Sjors_Ehv
It’s enough if you watch from 3.30 minutes onwards.
For testing purposes, could you enable the iPad/Macbook as an endpoint in the settings and see how it goes?
Update
I have no idea if it’s related, after a quick search I found:
Axel_Lesch, I’ve just tried iPad/iPhone as an endpoint and it went well. After I switched back to my Devialet endpoint and it went well as well. It went clearly better than before and I wish it will be going like it does now. Thank you very much for the feedback.
