Roon search extremely slow - how to fix it? BUILD 1353

Now we are missing a monitor tool in ROCK for cpu, disk, network, processes …

I was missing it all the time - but now - in this version - it is impossible to help roon solving the bug

Another release of screw the pooch or shift the issue or rob Peter to pay Paul, whatever. Seems at least once a year Roon becomes an unusable PITA as far as simply not being able to sit down and have an enjoyable listening session.

Everything fine, update to fix a bunch of issues for some configurations with memory leaks… and break who knows what for others.

Yes long searches, super long track skips even within the same album and even intermittent pauses of the audio, all introduced with 1353.

Sigh.

This has been driving me mad for a couple of weeks. I assumed I had a NAS problem until I dropped in here. Frustratingly it has really upset my other half who hates tech that doesn’t meet expectations, as well as hacked me off.
If there isn’t a fix really soon the software should be rolled back - this is not a good place to be given the price of subscriptions.

I have similar experience. I generally have no problems with searching in Roon, but if I include “The”, the search is extremely slow. For example, searching for “Beatles” goes quickly, if I search for “The Beatles”, it goes very slowly. Have made the same attempt with several artists who have “The” in front of their name, and the same thing happens every time. Searching for “The The” is almost completely useless.

I was concerned by huge time in searches, interruptions during playlist playing, and chopped sound, connection loss between my iPad, iPhone and the server
Roon server is on a dedicated laptop Huawei Matebook X Pro on Windows 11, core i7
Music is on a Synology NAS

After reading the thread I decided to automate a daily reboot of the Matebook X Pro (at 4 AM) with automatic launch of Roon Server at restart.

I’ve done this a few days ago and I never had any of theses issues since. :crossed_fingers:

Have a similar experience. As a standard, my roon on NAS is set to shut down in the night and reboot everything in the morning. Never had any issues (except for a slower text search) and roon since last updates being even faster than before.

When I deactivated the energy routine and kept it running for a week, I noticed roon is using significantly more RAM and some features like search and composition list are taking double the time to load. Still not annoying but noticeable.

My Roon is on a Nucleus Plus. I suppose a software reboot of the server before I go to bed each night would be some kind of solution, but I’m hoping for something better than that.

I am also doing my daily morning reboot before breakfast

I think all you need to do is a soft reboot by restarting Roon Server software, and don’t need a hard reboot by rebooting your device.

Where do you find this screen?

I think he means number 2

Now if Roon offered the option for restarting Roon core after the completion of a successful backup that would be amazing

I am asking as I can’t find this screen in the Roon UI. Still don’t know even with a 1 and 2 on the screen. :slight_smile:

Typer the IP address in the browser:

Torben

Which of course only exists with ROCK or Nucleus but I don’t know which Roon Server @Martin_Friberg has

Why should they offer this possibility? because they are unable to fix a major bug in their system?

All this tricks to restart, reboot, are just quick and dirty workaround to a non functional ecosystem.

I find it a pity that a system that is made to play music just fails and stops because their engineers thought they were smart enough to develop a powerful search engine, and are now failing to deliver to their customers. :hot_face:

It only exists on Rock Martin and is part of the web interface.
Do you run your Core on Rock?

On Mac and Windows it would be the equivalent of stopping and starting the Roon server

A NUC. Have no clue why these things are so hidden. Tried searching for a web UI in the Knowledge base and got to non-existing pages, or simply the web display…

IP address, yay, another thing I have no clue what it is. But that is def on me.

Oh come on Michael!
There shouldn’t be any reason to schedule a restart of a server functionality.
Fix the instability! …rather than adressing the symptoms…

Go to your settings, on the Configure tab there is a button:


Click the blue ip address in the dialogue that appears.
(If you are running a Roon OS device on your network)
