Description of Issue

Roon software thinks I am already signed into a Nucleus. If I deauthorise one, the software then immediately closes and whenever opened shuts down again immediately until Nucleus is power cycled. At this point the software will open but believes I am signed into a different Nucleus and the whole cycle starts again.

Edit - I have deleted and reinstalled the software and this doesn’t seem to have an effect.

This could be because the Nucleus is running an earlier build of Roon Server than the Roon builds on your remotes. It has been reported that one particular older build of Roon Server conflicts with later builds of Roon.

Please use the Web Administration page (accessed via a web browser) to reinstall Roon OS on your Nucleus. That will also install the latest build of Roon Server. Then, if you get the Deauthorise page again, you should be able to click the button and get into Roon…

Hi Geoff,

The Nucleus is brand new, latest shipment into the UK, and the remotes literally downloaded today.

When I was doing initial set up I logged on and confirmed that the software was up to date.

The problem initially happened when I synched the customers tidal account.

Many thanks

Mike

So what is the build number of the Roon Server on the Nucleus at the moment? Thanks.

Yes, we have seen exactly this before. Like any other device, the Nucleuses are not continually updated in the factory but have some preinstalled version. Normally, once you start the Nucleus the remotes would immediately ask you to trigger an update.

Specific combinations of a current remote version together with the outdated preinstalled Nucleus version unfortunately make the remotes crash instead or sometimes cause other weird behaviors like the one you are seeing.

@Geoff_Coupe’s advice will most likely fix the issue like it has done many times in recent weeks for others. In any case, it’s necessary to check and rule it out.

Hi Geoff,

I am back there on Monday so I will not be able to update you until. Just so you know I’m not ignoring your advise.

Many thanks.
