Describe the issue

Roon constantly plays a portion of a song, then skips to the next track. It says Tidal is slow to load. Nothing has changed with regard to my internet/wi-fi setup. I have gig speed connection. I check the speeds when the issue occurs and the speed is always >500-600Mbs.

Describe your network setup

Roon running on iMac 27" Late 2015 3.3GHz intel core i5 running Monterey 12.7.6. Ziply fiber internet connection. BluOS streamer at the stereo. I've double checked all software/firmware is up to date. Logged out and back into Tidal multiple times...

Hey @Jason_Monfort,

Please let us know the exact local date and time, along with the track, the next time this happens. We’ll enable diagnostics for your account.

Also, we have seen users have a better experience in the past if they change their Router’s DNS servers from the ISP provided ones to Cloudflare DNS, Quad9 or Google DNS. Can you please give this a try and let us know if it helps?

Occurred at 5:36pm PST Attempting to play Joe Satriani crystal planet. Made it through 4 tracks then start skipping.

Hey @Jason_Monfort,

If you could please bring your server back online, we should be able to collect a fresh diagnostic report.

Thank you!
