Hi, I was a happy Roon user before moving the Roon core from my i5 desktop computer to the synology 918+ .
On my 918+ , i setup the roon core on an external SSD drive and most of my files are on the harddisks . Then the 918+ connects to the network and a Roon ready device Cary DSM 500 as the playback device. However, Roon behaves very unstable and always stop playback after just a few mintues of playing , then I have to wait for few seconds until Roon detects the roon device.
Should someone experienced the same problem before, please kindly share if there are any solutions for the problem.
I can think of 2 scenarios here, either it is performance related or it is related to your network:
Is your DS918+ still scanning your library in the background?
You can also look into the activity panel in the DSM web administration of your DS918+, to check if the cpu is in use excessively.
My bet is it’s still analysing the music too…what is the default option for cores etc when installing Roon. On a NAS this is the single biggest CPU usage (bar DSP) that is likely to hit a NAS
Thank you for all the help. I finally figured out the problem…it was the network switch. It runs perfect after i disabled jumbo frame feature on my switch.
