Gotcha, all useful info. It must be driving you mad. I think ISP provided routers are typically awful and tend not to do well with busy network traffic.
Does your ISP provided router allow a modem mode so you could acquire a competent router and put that in your network instead? I would be looking at Linksys and then like and would consider using DD-WRT firmware, although there are plenty of other good choices.
You could consider using your NAS as your router also, and this way no needing to buy anything. Iām sure it would be competent but Iāve not tried it.
A chap in another thread suggests they have solved drop outs by trying a different cable, so methodically switching those out and gathering results sounds like a good thing to try also.
since latest QNAP firmware I now have no ability to log into the QNAP version - just the spinning wheelā¦ Runs fine on my mac. Deleting and re-installing everythingā¦
I am wondering whether Iāve just discovered my long term issue but not sure how to validate.
When I bought the internal nvme SSD set up for the Qnap I put Roon on the 250gb SSD and then another 1tb SSD I used for read wrote cache acceleration. So far so goodā¦
Iām just wondering if the database is on the SSD or still on the spinning drives. Having looked in my (probably messy) file structure there are more than one āroonserverā folders - some from times gone by, but I canāt see where my current one is.
Questions:
How do I see the location of my qnap Roon database? Obviously at the moment with qnap firmware issues Iām running a cut down version on my iMac unil fixed.
If it is on my raid hdd, how do I move it? Some seem to say stop the core and copy, but in qnap Roon core there is āmove databaseā. In both cases however I donāt seem to be able to drag and drop the db or even access the SSD with commands (I wouldnāt know what commands to type as not that geeky).
If I just installed the Roon core from qnap store onto the SSD, and then restored from older backup (which is what I think I did) then would that automatically put the DB on the SSD or automatically put on HDD which is where the restore is from?
I still suspect that the option to set your ISP provided router to āmodem modeā and then use a good quality router of your own will help with dropouts, although it is just a hunch based on my own UK ISP experience and it costs money.
Iāll have a go at answering your Qsā¦
I think you need to log in to your QNAP QPKG, or wherever you have your Roon core installed. Thatās where I see my Roon DB location.
Log in and clock āchange DB locationā
I think it would put it where ever the DB location is currently set. You could remove the whole lot, reinstall from scratch and then restore.
To me, it seems like fixing the QNAP login is your first step unless youāre set on the mac now.
Iāve got rid of everything the the SSD and started again
hereās the picture I have of the SSD dedicated on QNAP using their QM1 approved card.
Should it be set as a Static volume to start with?
If so, I donāt seem to be able to create a Storage Pool - or donāt I need to as itās all one drive so itās all the Storage Pool.
Challenge with moving DB or copying anything seems to be I canāt see the SSD in the File Manager or anywhere. So I si=till donāt know where the Roon DB was actually being stored (I can see lots of folders on my RAID HDDās called āRoonServerā so I guess over the years Iāve stored in a couple of placesā¦
Is this setup my starting point?
All the videos seem to start with installing then creating a Volume but Iām not sure if thatās because theyāre SSDās in the main HDD Bays rather than my nvme card slot or Iāve even installed this little bit wrong firstā¦
THEN, if this IS correct, I āmigrateā Roon from the HDDās onto the SSD but I have no idea if just moving the App or the DB automatically follows. Any if it doesnāt follow automatically, how do I move it (because I canāt see the SSD on file manager anywhere to drag and drop it)??
No idea if this early am brain dump makes any sense at all, no coffee yet!
Seem to have discovered that my backups may not have been as robust as planned. Theyāve been backing up but the location and even though āsuccessā seems to struggle to find any in the last year
Any ideas how I access my iMac (on the same network) as a shared location Network Share?
Have tried this and also the longer IP address for remote login but keep getting unexpected errorsā¦
I have a 4-bay Asustor AS5304T with a 1.50GHz Celeron processor, 4GB of RAM and 4 x 2TB Seagate HDDs, giving 4.45TB of storage.
Roon performance seems fine; itās running the Roon Server app, the database and all the music is on it.
Iām about to run out of storage though, and my external backup drive is bursting at the seams. Whatās the best configuration of drives I should go for to achieve all of the following:
