Description Of Issue
My father lives in South Africa and last time I was out I helped him set Roon up and he subscribed for a lifetime subscription. He is loving the service, but we have run into a weird bug I can’t work out. In SA there are currently power shortages, so the power goes out or a few hours, often a few times in a week.
When the power comes back on the core restarts and roon server is restarted on login. No problem. You can browse the library from any remote (ipad or wired PC), BUT when you click play, the osciliating 3 bar icon begins moving but the seek bar does not move, and no audio plays. It doesn’t matter if it is local / tidal music.
If i restart the core, everything is fine. I even created an automator script to restart the core 5 mins after power on, but this doesn’t work. Weird, right? I’m totally confused as to what to try, as at the moment i’m having to remote in (teamviewer) and restart the core for him every time, which is driving us both mad!
Many thanks in advance for any help. Phil
