Roon 2.0 - Crashing on MacOS due to ".NET ThreadPool Worker" [Ticket In]

Since upgrading to Roon 2.0, my Roon core running on a 2018 8GB Mac Mini constantly crashes, whether or not I am using Roon. I understand there are going to be issues, but this does not seem to me to be an uncommon or antiquated setup. If it is no longer supported, would’ve been nice for the upgrade program to have noticed. Please advise if there is a quick fix, or if I just have to wait until the next patch.

Roon Core Machine

mac OS Monterey 12.6
Mac mini 2018 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i3
8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

Networking Gear & Setup Details

Mac mini hardwired to Router via Netgear switch
Roon clients connected via Eero Pro mesh network

Connected Audio Devices

Failure is on core, not connected Roon clients

Number of Tracks in Library

29000 tracks

Description of Issue

Roon 2.0 core on Mac Mini is crashing, whether Roon clients are playing or system is idle. Generates and sends a detailed crash report to Apple.

Same here. It keeps crashing within couple seconds whenever I open the application. I use Intel core Macbook Pro and I don’t have that many tracks in the library.

5 days and no response from Roon on this support post so far. Perhaps they have responded elsewhere about what they’re doing for Roon 2.0 issues, but I haven’t seen it. I do see lots of post reporting core and client issues on various Mac platforms with the 2.0 upgrade.

Yesterday, I tried to roll back to 1.8, and followed the instructions elsewhere on how to do that. After installing a 1.8 client on my iPad, I followed the link to install 1.8 on my mac Mini core. The installer instead installed 1.5 on my mac Mini, and it continually failed when checking for an upgrade. After messing with that awhile, I decided just to go back and reinstall 2.0 core on my mac Mini. After doing that, it refused to find my library, so I had to restore from a backup. I’m back up and running with 2.0 again and experiencing the same issue before.

My roon Core is not failing immediately, it will play for up to an hour or so before failing. I have also had a couple of crashes of the Roon client on a brand-new M2 MacBook Pro, which look similar if not identical to the failure I’m getting on may older Mac Mini.

This seems to me to indicate there’s a problem with 2.0 on the mac OS Monterey 12.6, since that’s what’s running on both machines. Guess I’ll just stand-by and wait on a fix for 2.0, though it sure would be nice to see something from Roon about what’s going on to either my specific issue or overall. Can’t help but make the observation that remote capabilities of Arc are not terribly useful if the core is constantly failing and you have to be home to restart the application.

Not my experience with 2.0 core. No responses from Roon on my support message on this.

Hi @Scott_Purdy ,

Thanks for your patience here while your case reached our queue. Can you please copy + paste the full error code here? This looks like a .NET error, but it’s not clear why it’s happening. I’ve also activated diagnostics for your Roon account, please open the Roon app for at least a few minutes when you have a chance and let me know, thanks!

I just got home and restarted Roon core, it is up and running now for at least a bit. Will post the full error code on a separate message.

The error report is too large (32 MB) to copy and paste in its entirety as text in a message. Sending the first portion of it. It goes on like this for awhile, but does have some other blocks as well.

Looks like recursive calls causing a stack overflow.

I am experiencing the exact random failures and crashes on the core which is ruining on iMAC with Monterey (12.6) installed. I also have an open thread with zero feedback from ROON. This is frustrating so I ended up downgrading to 1.8 Legacy (I was lucky and it worked).
Is your problem solved after ROON monitor your account ?

I expect that they’re still looking into it. It was late yesterday afternoon when I restarted Roon core and uploaded the error report. I’m trying to keep the core restarted when it crashes this morning so they’ll be able to monitor.

Noris, any thoughts on the problem after taking a look?

Hi @Scott_Purdy ,

I brought up your crash snippet with the team, but it seems that there is not enough info in the crash snippet. Can you please upload any relevant crash logs to the following link and let me know once uploaded? Thanks!

Thanks, Noris. I have uploaded the full crash log to the site on the link.

I am having the exact same problem. Also crashing .NET ThreadPool worker. I updated my Mac Mini dedicated Roon server this week… my Desktop Mini (2018 i7 64GB) sees the server, but the Roon client crashes… my iPAD can’t see the server anymore. This was never a problem before the update.

I am seriously doubting the software engineer of the Roon ecosystem. Nothing but trouble! Old config had constant 200%+ CPU load on my Mac… this new configuration just doesn’t work. What a complete headache this is.

My wife doesn’t understand it anymore either. “Why don’t we just use Spotify… that always just works!”… and Honestly… I don’t have an answer to that.

Hi @Scott_Purdy ,

Thanks for sending the crash log over, we took a look over it, but we are still trying to determine the cause of the crash.

@SEUNG_HUN_LEE / @Assaf_Kantorovich /@Ernst_Jan_Holscher - Can you please also upload your crash logs to the same link? I would like to see if there are any commonalities between them, please let me know once uploaded:

Noris -
I’m also experiencing a similar crash on my Roon remote client running on a new M2 MacBook Pro. It is crashing less frequently than the core on my mac Mini, but has happened several times now. I uploaded the full crash report to the link. Specs on this machine are:

MacBook Pro M2 2022
24 GB memory
macOS Monterey Version 12.6

14 posts were split to a new topic: iPad Mini 4 - Disconnects from Ubuntu Core

Sorry but can’t upload logs because I downgraded to 1.8 Legacy due to all the crashing issues with ROON 2.0.

Use the link to the files uploader that @noris posted earlier in this thread:

Same here
(Edit: downgrading to 1.8/legacy was really easy and flawless. I don’t need ARC right now.)
