Hi Eric That could be annoying. I have just update my 2020 mini to 13.3 (2 days ago) but have no crash until now. What kind of roon do you use on your mini? Roon or Roon Server? I had roon for about 1/2 a year and when switched to Roon Server the stability was better (since you screen share in to y…

My experience too. I’ve been running Roon server on an M2 Mac Mini for a few days, and I’m considering giving up on it. When working it’s extremely snappy, but it crashes too often.

Welcome, Eric. That’s the dreaded .NET ThreadPool Worker crash and this is the existing thread (and workaround) for it: [image] Roon 2.0 - Crashing on MacOS due to ".NET ThreadPool Worker" [Ticket In] Support Hi @Ned_Neece , This does look like the same issue that others …

Damn, I wish I’d seen that before dropping €600 on Mac mini.

I only use the control GUI on macOS and never any issues. Core on ROCK and I love it because it literally always works without any maintenance, as I wrote in the Mac Mini vs ROCK thread :slight_smile:

Have switched to Roon Server for now. I’ll reply back after a few hours of use.

An update on my experience: I’ve gone back to ROCK on a 5 year old 7i5 NUC, because ROCK runs so much better on that hardware than Roon Server does on a 2023 M2 Mac mini. With the Mac I was getting frequent “Waiting for Core” messages, and more drop outs than I’d like to admit. Very disappointing r…

My experience changing from Roon Core to Server on my dedicated Mac Mini. So far no more crashes of Roon Server on the Mac Mini, but now I’m getting frequent Roon crashes on my Mac workstation where I control playback all day long. At least it doesn’t interrupt the music - I’m playing primarily to …
