Description Of Issue
Roon force closes at every attempt to start it. I tried to delete the Roon folder and re-install several times, selecting different outputs, however the behavior did not change and it is unable to start. No error messages are shown.
Thanks for the quick response. I have been indeed making myself aware of the Roon architecture to understand a little more about it
RoonCore on the windows pc would only be up by not adding my own network library folder, once added nor the server nor the client would stay open as they crash, no error provided. Decided to give it a try to use the Synology DS918+ to run the core, even though this seemed a bit against the general advice. While this seemed a little difficult at first, as the native package is not yet ready for DSM 7 beta currently running, the docker package worked very simply and has also reliably processed overnight all my very same library that crashes the windows version. I have followed the advice on using an ssd for Roon data and app folders by attaching a SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD via USB and so far so good, the CPU usage is reasonable and there’s plenty of extra RAM installed so no concerns there. I have spotted at times that a processing speed is shown and so far it has shown a 30-40x - does this mean versus the needs it is 30 times faster or how do you read it?
