So finally bit the bullet and bought a Intel Nuc to run ROCK. I followed the exact procedure of installing bios update, setting up bios, installing ROCK and installing codecs etc…I’m fairly happy but I’m finding the search function really slow 90% of the time.
My setup:
Intel Nuc 5th gen i5
16GB Ram (ddr3 1600)
128GB m.2 SSD
Fibre broadband 78MB Down 20MB Up
Netgear network switch
Tidal Hi-Fi account
I will be installing a 1TB SSD and copying over my music library from my NAS (previously used for Logitech Media Server).
Searching on my previous setup: squeezebox server on old atom based NAS is a lot faster (Tidal and local library). Also searching Tidal on Cambridge Audio Stream Magic App connected to Edge NQ is instant.
Have I done something wrong or is roons’ search function just really slow? If so this is a potential deal breaker.
Is the Roon Core since importing and building your library.
Go to Settings -> Library and see if there is an ‘Analysing’ counter.
While this is being undertaken any NUC will run slow, as all core as being used to perform this initial load & index.
I’ve not imported a library yet. Currently no local music on nuc, nor have I pointed it to the music on my NAS. Just using Tidal until I get a new SSD to import my music library too.
If I search Led Zeppelin it takes 10-15 seconds to find, then when I click on the artist it takes another 20 seconds to load the albums etc… Search Pink Floyd takes even longer
Appears there is a glitch in the matrix between Roon and Qobuz - its just completely died on me over the last 10-15 mins. I’m sure it will return to normal shortly…
same here for about an hour last night. Seemed to be ok after that. I thought I was overcooking my Antipodes (I was ripping at the same time) but it seems not lol
