Description of Issue

The problem started with Roon not being able to detect any Audio Device, my device is an Esoteric N-01 that is both a DAC & Streamer. I’ve restarted router, N-01 and LAN switch but it still won’t work.

Then I tried to deinstall and reinstall Roon (ver 1.8) on QNAP. After Roon was deinstalled, I wasn’t able to find Roon download from Application Centre on QNAP. Someone said QNAP newer OS no longer has Roon available for download. Then I downgraded QNAP to version 4.4.0 (2019) but Roon is still unavailable.

Questions -

1. Where can I download Roon now for my QNAP?
2. What can go wrong with Roon not being able to detect N-01. I can in fact ‘Enable’ N-01 on Roon, after enabling there are still no Audio Devices available for streaming songs.

Where can I download Roon now for my QNAP?

Whilst waiting for QNAP to re-approve the installer … it can be manually download …

QNAP security advisory for Roon Server

I have put the updated qpkg on the roononnas.org website for manual installation. I added a note to it, to install it at your own risk, as it has not yet been approved (or rejected) by QNAP. I have added checks to verify the session id of the logged in user and added a sanitation step for a function (which is responsible for storing the database location). These were the areas, that have been reported to cause the security issue. I am very sorry for the trouble this might have caused.

Thanks Carl. I actually found Roononnas.org web site earlier. Have downloaded and re-installed Roon. Now it all works. Appreciated your help anyway!
