NOTICE HOW THE LOCATION DOES NOT START WITH /root

Hello @Troy_Reece, and thanks for the information! Are you able to play those FLAC files from another application? Do they work in Roon if you move one of them to the working “DSD Music” folder or somewhere else?

Files are fine, access is fine. I tested them using another program. I am not understanding why files begin with /root.

I ended up disabling the “MUSIC FOLDER” in the storage section and things started working. For some reason I cannot remove it. I remember that I restored the database from a previous roon core running on a mac. I think this is why the “music folder” is there.
