Description of Issue
Roon radio not working - I have had Roon ROCK in place for several years with solid performance on local files and Qobuz streaming for all endpoints. No other network issues in the house. E.g streaming HD video over WiFi is flawless.
I have only recently tried to use the Live radio function. No stations from Roons presets are working, with the exception of Radio Paradise (which I believe is FLAC). I have tested lets say 25 other stations at random, including my prefered BBC radio stations in UK. NONE work - “playback was interrupted because a file failed to load”. I have also tried manually adding stations but none work. Same condition on all endpoints.
I have checked and reloaded the CODEC file - extracting it and renaming to ffmpeg.tar then placing it in rock/data/codecs. No difference after rebooting twice…
That’s not correct. You need to extract the downloaded codecs file, possibly twice (depending on the extraction program you use). In the end, you end up with an extracted folder that contains lots of files, among them a file named just ffmpeg. This is the one you have to copy to the ROCK. No renaming. Screenshot from mine:
Download ffmpeg - Roon will need access to the required codecs via the /Data/Codecs/ directory. You will need to download these codecs on another computer before placing them on ROCK.
