All technical info is in my Profile.
As it says in the Subject, Roon is refusing to play local FLAC files. Not showing artwork, either.
RoonServer>Roon on same Mac>Line Out to Amp.
There is no network involved in playback, this is Core Audio out.
Verified all drives are online and Roon is looking at them.
Have rebooted the Mac and Roon.
Restarted again; Artwork is showing.
Now Roon skips through a bunch of tracks and starts playing, say, track 8. On another album, it might be track 6. If I stop playback and hit the main Play Now button, sometimes it starts at track, but not always.
Oops, Track Failed to load, Too Many Errors, stopping playback.
Oops, now nothing plays again.
If I fire up Roon on a MacBook Pro, it can’t find the Core; I choose Use Another, and the Core shows up, but says it’s initializing.
Let’s make a little bet. I bet that, pretty soon, there will be a hard Roon crash, and my DB will refuse to load afterwards. Any takers?
Update: When I Quit Roon on the Core Machine, leaving RoonServer running, the MacBook can see the Core and connect. It cannot play files through Roon, though, they behave as above.
As always, all other methods of playback on this machine including QuickLook work fine.
