Describe the issue

Set-up is a Taiko as core, Naim ND555 as streamer. Using Qobuz through Roon, when I try and play a track, I get the error message "This track is not currently available from Qobuz. Too many failures. Stopping playback". I have tried all the fixes currently suggested using Google but to no avail. Any help greatly appreciated.

Describe your network setup

Cisco router, Chord Electric 8 Switch, Taiko core, Naim ND555 streamer.

Hi @october14

Welcome to the Roon Community.

I’m a fellow Roon user. Roon Support don’t work on the weekends.

The affected tracks that don’t play and give you this error, do they play within the Qobuz app?

If so, do they play for the full duration of each track?

Hello mate thanks for the welcome.

All the tracks play fine in Qobuz itself without issue, and also play for the full duration.

I’ve tried all of the following so far:

  1. Closing Qobuz, then logging out of Roon core, starting up again.
  2. Reset router, switch, core and streamer, then Roon then Qobuz.
  3. Bypassing switch and networking direct into both streamer and server.
  4. Changing passwords on both Roon and Qobuz.
  5. Updating all software to latest versions.

Hi @october14,
Thanks for writing in to ask us about this issue. I think the best way to proceed with troubleshooting is to take a look at your Roon server logs. Can you please use the directions found here and send over a set of logs to our File Uploader?

Hi Daniel thank you for reverting back.

I’ve now uploaded the ios Roon server logs via the suggested method.

The errors I am experiencing with Roon were recreated at 5.05pm and 5.07pm New York time today.

Hi @october14,

Thanks for the update! We’re seeing something odd from Roon Server logs - Roon is reporting an incorrect local date:

Info: [1] Local time is 9/15/2025 8:43:57 PM, UTC time is 9/15/2025 6:43:57 PM

Can you confirm the system clock on the Windows machine is set correctly? If the system clock is consistently incorrect, even after adjusting, the BIOS clock may be misconfigured.

This could very well be triggering Qobuz related playback errors as well, for example:

Warn: [Broker:Media] [qobuz] [http] error result from http request: {"message":"Invalid Request Timestamp parameter 

Let me know if the above help! :+1:

Hi Benjamin thanks for looking at the logs. I think part of the problem may be that I had Roon on my Windows PC a few years ago, I stopped using Roon, and am now coming back. Now however I am using Roon on my iPhone 13.

I have uninstalled all versions of Roon on my Windows PC, but is it that the streamer or server are still trying to talk to Roon on my PC, hence the failure? Just before uninstalling everything this morning, I tried to boot up Roon on the PC but I just get a blue spinning circle.

I have now uploaded another log file recreating the error this morning, but after uninstalling Roon and Roon Server from my Windows PC. The snippet below relating to the Qobuz track failure.

Also recreated the error again here 20mins later and uploaded the log relating to that also:

Let me know if anything else looks a little odd to you.

Hi @october14,
Thanks for showing those snippets to us. In our diagnostics we still see the system clock issue that @benjamin mentioned in his post. Do you have a different computer that you can test out as a Roon server?

What are you using as a Roon server after you uninstall it from the Windows computer?

Hi Daniel thanks for the update. The Taiko unit is now my core.

The audio chain currently does not have a PC in the mix. Only a Naim ND555 streamer, the Taiko, and an iPhone 13.

Is it possibly a problem with the clock on the Taiko then?

Hi @october14,
Since the Taiko is your server right now it probably is the source of the clock problem. I did notice the our system shows contact with a Windows 10 server named “EXTREME20082” signed into your account 13 minutes ago. Was that you testing a different computer?

Hi Daniel thank you for confirming.

Yes that was me - I need a Windows Roon UI to buy albums from Qobuz to transfer to the Taiko core. It’s not obvious this is possible through my iPhone.

I have raised a separate ticket for the Windows Roon issue I am experiencing (blue spinning circle), though this may be related to the Taiko clock also.

Hi @october14 ,

The base operating system of the Taiko Extreme is the Windows 10 RoonServer that we are noticing in our diagnostics. Since it sounds like you don’t have any access to the onboard operating system, perhaps Taiko support would be able to make the time/date adjustments, I would reach out to them directly. Let us know how this goes!

You were right - the clock on the Taiko was incorrect, which was causing the problem with Qobuz.

Assistance greatly appreciated thank you!
