Thanks, Michael. Yes, I’m kind of a protocol nerd, so I’d love to see some traces. But the real key is that post by @mike from 3 years ago, on exactly this issue:
And everyone should feel free to open a feature request related to us changing how storage works in Roon – this would be a big change, so we would want to see real interest in this kind of use case.
Roon support doesn’t see this as an issue. I can just picture the dialogue at the support desk:
“Hey, this guy TKelley has a problem with his set-up. The Core keeps banging on his NAS.”
“Yeah, that’s not a configuration we do well.”
“Where should I prioritize it?”
“Is his system still running? Can he play music?”
“Yeah, it looks like everything works, he just doesn’t like this part of it, and doesn’t want to change his configuration.”
“Well, if everything’s working, it’s a feature request, isn’t it?”
“Oh, yeah, I see. OK, I’ll send it to the development team to add to their queue.”
And let me say again: from three years ago. Don’t hold your breath.
