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

Wow … major positive difference for me personally. I rebooted twice and am listening to Christmas music (it’s not too early, right?!). I’ve been streaming on Sonos these past few weeks as Roon was just so bad in playing back music since that last update. I can skip songs quickly (as you know, there are a lot of bad Xmas music tracks and the 30-second delays were just killer), search response time is much improved, etc.

Hopefully this keeps up as I play the rest of today (168k tracks, 17k albums, 7k artists). Thank you, Roon!

I have to confess listening to “The Chipmunk Song” over and over – and right now as it happens.

Alvin!

@Zenit How many time is needed between the 2 reboots?

Why are two reboots needed? I am curious.

Disabled features in the ROON backend? Isn’t there auto-scaling in cloud-computing etc. used?

Personally I waited until the blue circle stopped in upper right corner (where it re-indexes your music) before I rebooted for the 2nd time.

And I think Roon may have saved Christmas :christmas_tree:

Thank God for Roon search! It has just introduced me to Bob Rivers and his wonderful Christmas album, “Chipmunks Roasting on an Open Fire”!

After 2 reboots

HOME fast
GENRES very slow -----------
QOBUZ fast
TIDAL fast

My Library
ALBUMS fast
ARTISTS fast
TRACKS very slow ------------

SEARCH fast - only sometimes about 8 seconds (for example: mozart)

Overall: it is a great speed update - thank you from austria

After about 20 minutes …now searching for “mary black” took about 20 seconds

So, reboot did only help some time

Double reboot seems to have worked here (~150k tracks) as well. I am noticing like others that searching Genre and Tracks is a bit slower than albums, artists, etc. That said, currently the search is significantly improved since I installed the newest build the other day.

I have just done the double reboot and so far search is dramatically improved.

I am hoping it stays that way

I never update, I wait 2 months at least. My core is 1311, but Windows endpoint updated? automatically?. On this one endpoint search is slow, on the server is much faster. I have no idea why people click the update button as soon as they see it

Everything was very slow - home screen, skipping songs, searching - everything. I’m on a Nucleus. Rebooted once (before I saw this thread) and didn’t see any improvement. Saw this thread 9 hours later with a solid 15 seconds from skipping one song to the next and tried a second reboot. Now everything is back to it’s peppy self.

I was skeptical of the 2nd reboot trick working and it did. Thanks!

I’m curious what features were disabled…

Got a little bit better after 2 reboots, but still is not as performant as it was before.
Made search tests after each reboot.

But what the hell should be the difference between 1 or 2 reboots?

Same issue for me! Has there been ANY communication with the Roon Team about this??

The 2 posts directly above yours are replies to Roon‘s message, note the logo. The message was this:

haha, this software is a laugh!

sorry, I meant Service. or QA.

Thought it was just me. I’ve been rebooting my roon roc every few days hoping to improve performance. Change analysis settings to slow hoping that would make a difference. Had some searches just hanging there for over 2 minutes at which point I just gave up and used Naim’s app to play Qobuz. Just gave the 2 reboots a try and quick test was bringing back results in about 5 seconds. Hopefully doesn’t get worse. Would imagine most of their staff is off for rest of the week.

Sadly the same issue here. It takes even longer than 30 secs
