I’m someone who likes to queue up 6 - 10 albums at a time, particularly with new releases. When I tap the queue button in Roon it’ll take 6 seconds to load the list (this happens even if there is only an album or two queued).
Once I’ve tapped it and its loaded, the next time I tap it, it loads straight away. Problem is, I’ll leave the app to listen to the music and come back, it then does that again.
Managing the queue then becomes irritating and I find myself gravitating towards other apps just to listen to music because its faster.
Is this a me problem or is this just the way the queue works in Roon?
You may consider to reveal your core’s specs for potential suggestions to be meaningful - I have a hunch, you may be running some old Mac mini or under-spec NAS?
No comparable problem here (check my config by clicking my avatar).
I use long queues and I haven’t had this problem on any remote (I use Android and Windows). Now I have a queue of almost 4 days (more than 1100 tracks) and it loads instantly.
Apologies, I’m running the core on a 2017 macbook air. Core is plugged into a nighthawk router. Use remotes on iOS and android, problem is on both. Cloudflare DNS.
Good to know its not just the way it works. I’ll have to think about a core upgrade in that case.
It’s odd though since all the other screens are pretty snappy.
PS - everything except my iPad and iPhone is hard wired.
PPS - Hmmm, I just added a bunch of tracks to the Queue and tested how long the Queue screen comes up. It’s near instant now, just like the other screens. I give up trying to explain anything Roon does, lol.
I also just discovered when in the Queue screen, if I click the Queue button again it takes me back to the previous screen I was viewing. Am I the only one who didn’t know this?
