Description Of Issue
Power went off twice today. Have restarted the ROCK and TNAS twice. Roon scans the TNAS folder fine. When I start trying to play music via an iPad or iPhone as the remote it plays for about 10 seconds and stops. When I look in Storage, it now says the TNAS folder no longer exists. If I select the same folder again in Storage, it scans the TNAS again successfully. Then the same failure to play starts all over.
EDIT: Noticed now that when sorting albums by Date Added, this is completely screwed up. Roon core finds the NAS. Will play a song for about 10 seconds, then loses connection with the NAS. When I go to Storage the NAS files are being rescanned. Then I can play a song again and lose connection after about 10 seconds and the whole process starts over again.
My NAS scans the filesystem after a power-outage for errors. This may take some time depending on the storage size in the NAS. During this time, other scanning processes like the one from Roon might overstrain the NAS and fail. Check the NAS and give it some time if needed.
Over night Roon successfully scanned the 22,000+ tracks on the NAS. It shows them in Albums or Artists, etc. When I try to play a track is says my storage location is offline or there isn’t enough music in my library or some similar type message.
Hello @Scott_Monroe, your issues seem to be connected and best served by a single support ticket, so I’ve moved your posts to one thread. Let me know if this is wrong.
Fresh install of ROCK on Intel NUC successful. NAS file storage location selected where music is located. Scan and Import starts. Fails every time so far. No better off now than before the fresh install.
Not once has anybody ever asked me “Why is your NAS that you use for music files connected to your NUC ROCK via ethernet cable and a dumb router switch, instead of via USB cable?”. Somethings you just have to figure out for yourself. Good luck all you folks having ROON problems. ROON’s help documentation would be vastly more useful the new users and non-IT people if it contained some schematics/pictures/drawings to visually explain the way to get the best sound out of your system.
Hello @Scott_Monroe, thanks for the feedback here and my apologies for the delayed response. By your last post it sounds like things are working again, please let me know if you continue to see further issues and I’d be happy to help!
I’ll know tomorrow if everything is working again since Roon take a long time to rescan all the files. My guess is a Synology NAS is in my future to ultimately fix this problem.
Well, it is tomorrow and the problem still exists. ROON loses connection with the NAS file folder, just like it was doing before this problem started. Am going to buy a new NAS and hope that solves the problem.
You asked what model Terramaster NAS I have. This is the one.
[TerraMaster F2-220 2bay NAS 2.4GHz Intel Dual Core CPU 4K Transcoding Media Server Network Storage and it has two 4TB WD Red hard drives in it.
Roon sees the folder on the NAS that contains all the music files. Overnight it scanned and imported them all. When I try to play a song, it will sometimes play for 10-15 seconds and then just stops. And, when I look in the Storage menu it shows the drive can’t be found. If I look at Albums or Artists, the screen is empty except for the message shown via screen capture below:
EDIT: you also asked if the NAS is also still connected to the NUC via USB. It is, and ethernet cable too.
