Hi, I have the same issue with the same setup (“Nucleus (Roon OS1.0 (build 227), Version 2.0 (build 1143) production”, Connected to router(Fritzbox 7590 via direct ethernet cable, using Roon and Roon ARC Remote Apps on iPhone, iPad, android Tab, audio devices: Sonos and raspberry Pi streamer. All devices are in the same network. Remotes an Roon Apps connected perfectly untill Saturday 5.11 evening. Since Sunday-morning 6.11 - without having applied any changes - I’m just getting the “initializing-message” on all my remotes. My Fritz-App gives me this Information:
Remotes and Roon Apps connected perfectly untill Saturday 5.11 evening. Since Sunday morning 06.11 - without having applied any changes - I’m just getting the “initializing-message” on all my remotes.
I was just assuming the missing codecs could be related to the connect -failure. I never installed any codecs. In practice I never had any disturbing issues with the codecs. I have some AAC-files on the USB drive and I could see and play them by using my roon-remotes. Can’t remember noticing my old mp3-files that should be on the USB-Drive - but this issue never bothered me. The big issue is the sudden failure to connect from day to the next without having applied any changes.
.
Thought so Was just ruling out that some issue wiped out the codecs.
For the connection, did you try turning off the rock, the router, and all remotes, then first turning on the router, waiting a few minutes, then the rock, then the remote’s?
Unfortunately I still don’t have connection after appliying this process. May it be because my Intel-Nuc was accessed from outside? I had mixed feelings about IT-security two weeks ago when I enabled port-forwarding to use Roon ARC.
When I disconnect my external 5 TB -Drive with my music library and restart roon rock without - it still doesn’t connect. I’m not sure if I understand your hint “database problem”. What would be a possible solution?
@WiWavelength is making a good point. Roon maintains a database for your music and showing 100% free on the database SSD is certainly odd if you have 3 TB of files. The database always tends to be small compared to the SSD size, but I have 300 GB of music files and the database uses ~1% of my 256 GB SSD:
If there is an issue with the database, disconnecting the disk with the music files is not going to help because it won’t fix the database damage.
By the way, as the missing codecs are not the problem, it would probably be good to edit the thread title to reflect the actual issue. You may get more/faster help.
Is this a new installation or have you been using it for a while?
Did you make any edits to the database (e.g., tags, credits) or did you accept everything as created by Roon?
Do you have a backup of the database?
I have been using this installation for about two years with little issues - except occasional interruptions of the connection of my remotes to the roon core - depending presumably either on the current roon-built or on the updates of the audio gear. connected. Roon 2.0 was very stable in this regard. I allways accepted everything as suggested and created by Roon. Not sure about the backup of the database. There should be a recent backup - made by Roon - in a folder on the attached 5 TB -USB Drive.
I see. Do ensure that you have a backup that works, but if you never edited things, I don’t think that you would lose much or anything by starting from scratch.
However, before your make that step I would wait until @Wes comes back to this thread, he may well have a better idea
Hi Matt, thanks for letting me know. What still worries me - besides the effort of the forthcomming reinstall,is that I still don’t know the cause - why this issue stared 6/11. Hope you can solve the problem successfully.
Hi Wes, is there anything else I can try for my issue?..its interesting that my problem is similar to Erik’s…and they started on the same day-6th November after 1.5 years of trouble free usage…
