Description Of Issue
This is not a wifi or network issue. Around 9am this morning, Roon stopped playing mid track and I lost connection to the Core, according to my iPad. On my PC, I could ping the NUC but Roon remote could not connect to it, nor could I bring up the NUC page by entering the IP. Checked the NUC and the orange action light is constantly flickering, for 30 minutes now. I have no visibility into what it is doing, so I don’t want to force a reboot (in case that bricks the NUC or something).
any idea what might be happening?
how do I stop it from happening at inconvenient times (and instead push it to 2AM or something)?
It just looks like a forced update. Everything automatically went back to normal after 80-90 mins. I just would prefer to have control over WHEN this happens. Something along the lines of a warning message and a scheduler function (’ a new version is available for download/install… would you like to do this now or later?’
There was no power outage or hardware issue. It was playing while I was working and then it stopped for 80-90 mins while it decided to do its thing…
AFAIK, Roon doesn’t do forced updates that would cause what you experienced. Any update that requires a reboot/relaunch of the Roon software components should be flagged to you, requiring you to initiate the reboot/relaunch. It shouldn’t do this by itself (although it can prepare the installation). You do have control over how the installation process is configured:
Thanks Geoff, I will look for those settings.
To be clear though: I saw no sign of a forced reboot or shutdown. Just a forced update followed by a DB rescan, during all of which the ROCK was unaccessible and the activity led on the NUC flickered incessantly.
In settings/about, I see (under Core) Roon Optimized Core Kit with the version etc, but no cog wheels.
I also see Roon Bridge Ropieee (second room) with no cog wheels
What are you using as your Roon Remote to view these pages? A smartphone? These options are only visible on PC/Macs/Tablets… (Sorry, should have made that clear).
Ah - thanks for that - I thought that the iPad and Android tablets would have displayed the options. Windows tablets certainly do, but that’s only to be expected…
