Roon 1.7 crashes daily on Mac Pro, MacOS Mojave 10.14.6

Core Machine (Operating system/System info/Roon build number)

Hello. I have Roon installed on my Mac Pro, MacOS Mojave10.14.6. Roon 1.7 build 537

It crashes constantly, as in every day. I can send you the details/log from MacOS if you wish.
Which info do you need further to troubleshoot this problem?

Regards,

Exactly what model MacPro spec etc etc

MacOS 5,1 mid 2012
2 x 3,06GHz 6-core Intel Neon
48 GB 1333MHz DDR3 RAM
PCIe bootdisk
SSD datadisk
AMD Radeon HD7950 3GB GPU

Running Mojave 10.14.6

Hello @Willem_Keller, and welcome to the community! What’s happening when Roon crashes? Are you using Roon actively at the time? Does it crash overnight when you aren’t listening to anything?

Hi, thanks for responding.

Roon crashes when it is not playing anything. I just have it running so I can play music on my Linn systems. So it can’t be a case of being overstressed or something like that.

Maybe I can send yoU a logfile or something? I haven’t been able to find a log in the settings so you have to guide me to it. I can send you the MacOS crashlogif you wish. Tell me what you want me to do.

Thanks.

Same problem here. I’m running Roon on a MacBook Pro:

macOS 10.14.6 (18G87)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017)
Processor 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 630 1536 MB

Roon 1.7 (build 537)

Sometimes it will just stop at the end of a song and won’t play any more tracks, sometimes I can click on the back button and navigate around to get it to play again, sometimes I can reboot and it will work again for a while. Right now it’s acting as if there is no Internet connection. It will play music on my machine, but nothing else. Obviously I have an Internet connection since I’m writing this… :slight_smile: Joel

Hello @Willem_Keller,

I have noticed similar issues in the past where your power settings can be a factor, especially if Roon is crashing overnight when the machine might be going to sleep. I recommend adjusting those power settings and see if you still get crashes.

If that’s not what’s going on then when it next crashes please reply here with a timestamp (your local time) and we can get some logs and see whats going on in the background. Let me know!

Hi. It crashed again, without anything playing. The exact time was *according to the MacOS crashlog):
2020-05-14 18:37:26.119 +0200

I have saved the crashlog so I can send you that if you want.

There is more info in the crashlog. Please let me know how I can email that to Support.

Hello @Willem_Keller, I’ve got something to test for you! Could you please follow the directions here to disable notifications when your screen is off.

One of my coworkers had this issue and we’ve had success with a few other users. Let me know if that helps!

Hi. I’ve looked at those setting, but they were already as suggested.

So that will not be the cause of the problem.

In the meantime, it crashed again. And again while playing nothing, so just running idle on my Mac Pro Core.

Maybe there is something wrong with energy settings? They are currently as follows:

Schermafbeelding 2020-05-16 om 11.18.59

As it is now, the Mac Pro monitor goes idle after 5 minutes and the whole computer goed to sleep after 15 minutes. Do I need to change this setting ? Let me know, please.

Willem

Well, it crashed again. :frowning:

I am no programmer, but I thought I might look art the MacOS crash logs to see what I could find. I have studied a number of crashlogs that I saved, and there is one thing that has drawn my attention. I don’t know if it is relevant, but there is always a certain type of program thread that crashes. This seems to be linked to OpenHome, whatever that may be.

This is an example:

10 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x00007fff76baf40d thread_start + 13

And another example from another crashlog:

Does this mean anything? The thread number is not constant in the crashlogs that I saved, but the info is.

Let me know if you need anything to diagnose this further.

Willem

Hello @Willem_Keller and thanks for trying that! As I said previously, let’s get some logs over to my team for further review if the notification preferences weren’t the solution. Would you kindly use the directions found here and send us over a set of logs using this link. Please be sure to do this no the Mac Pro, thanks!

Let me know when you’ve uploaded the files and I’ll get them over to my team for further review.

Hi. Logfiles are uploaded.

Willem

Thanks, @Willem_Keller for the logs! I got this and the mac log crash data over to our team for further review. We’ll take a look and see what might be causing the crash. I’ll be in touch shortly!

Several days ago I changed my settings to be like that and I’m still having intermittent connectivity issues. The difficulty is that there seems to be no pattern to them. Sometimes music will stop playing and sometimes the next song just won’t start. Frequently I can push enough buttons that it somehow gets unstuck. I’ve checked my network monitor each time and Roon is still connecting to services outside. I didn’t have a bit of problem until a few weeks ago. Joel

No updates yet ???

Hello @Willem_Keller, thanks for your patience on this one. I spoke to our QA team about your issue today and they let me know that we have a ticket open with our development team to address this problem. I can’t provide any specific timelines just yet, but we’ll be sure to let you know when we have more information on this.

In the meantime, we recommend closing Roon when not in use. Thanks again for your patience here!
