Mine is now very fast
Time will tell, what happens after some hours
Thank you for this tip for disable the ARC-part
didnt do anything for meā¦ if its better, for me it is indistinguishably so.
Today, when I hit āHomeā everything starts to load up and refresh apart from āRoon Playlistsā and anything below it. Takes about 1-2 minutes before it appears. Search is ok, no problems with playback or Qobuzā¦ even Genre screens are relatively fast.
Iāve rebooted a couple of times to see if it will help it but no. Still slow asā¦This has to be the worst release Iāve experienced with Roon. Itās been nothing but trouble.
Edit. It just seems to be Roon server that provides stats on playback and Roon Playlists that seem to hang.
Same thing here. Nothing wrong last night, but todayā¦ It takes ages to loadā¦
Thanksā¦ I was starting to think the Rock NUC was on itās way out or something!!
Did several reboots as well. No difference whatsoever. I guess the Roon team is too drunk on champagne after selling the company to release a decent version.
I guess you are correct that the problem lies on the Roon side of things.
Iāve been checking the Unify router stats for Roon and itās all ok! Very low latency and solid wire connection
While I like ARC, Iām seeing an uptick of scans of the Roon NUC looking for an easy entry from different locations around the world.The Ubiquity router blocks them but itās becoming obvious that hackers realise there is a potential opportunity there.
Again, just as a datapoint: here in the US, I havenāt experienced this slow search / slow performance issue through this whole period.
155k+ local tracks + Qobuz integration.
As another datapoint, Iām in the US and do experience this issue ever since I got the update quite a few weeks ago (so I donāt think itās country/region dependent).
168k tracks + Tidal integration
Itās unusable for me and have been using my backup solutions for music listening ever since the update (Sonos / Plexamp / WiiM)
On next day slow again
And ARC port is no more set on 0
I manually set it ro zero - but on next day it was no more zero
And slow again
How to set ARC port to ZERO and save this setting
I now put it to 0 and search is faster again
Actually Arc-port is 0
And it is really slow again
The new release is not funny - please fix it ROON
Here is what I am seeing, LOCAL files only. ROCK is running on a fanless NUC and the files are stored on a NAS, everything is GB wired.
- Nothing is playing. Select a file on pc or Ipad. Click PLAY. It takes 40 seconds for the file to start playing (used to be less than 5 seconds).
- File is playing. Go to the UI on the laptop and click on another album. It takes 20 seconds for that album info (tracks etc) to load on the laptop screen (used to be near instantly). Click PLAY. Takes 20 seconds for the first track to stop playing and another 40 seconds for the second track to start.
Quite frustratingā¦
Update: restarted ROCK once more and ānormalā response speed was restored. Weāll see how it evolves over the next few days.
It seems it has been temporarily fixed for now.
Yes - seems much improvedā¦
Iām having loads of problems too. I use a NUC with a celeron processor running ROCK. was considering buying an i5 NUC because of all these problems. I only stream from Qobuz - no local storage. Has Roon become too much for the celeron processor to handle?
An i3 has been the minimum spec cpu since Roon launched.
Without knowing the specific type of CPU and generation, it is impossible to say if a Celeron or an i3 is meeting the minimum specs or which one is faster.
Latest Celerons such as G6900 or N5095 are pretty fast, their roon relevant benchmarks are at least on par with an i7 in the Nucleus+ Rev A or the i3 in all NucleusĀ“, if not superior when performing multiple zone streaming.
One of the important cpu spec is individual core speed, since Roon is mostly run on 1 core and only uses multi cores for very specific functions.
I got the impression that it was an older NUC not a new one and is having issues. Bringing the hardware up to recommended specs is a good start.
That is the case indeed with roon, and modern Celerons, especially high-frequency dual cores such as the G6900, are pretty good at that. Many of them also have a pretty effective turbo mode allowing for some seconds of overspeeding a single core and handing the task over to another core afterwards.
