Description Of Issue
Roon works perfectly on all devices until I get to playing music from Tidal, at which time I get the message “Tidal is loading slowly. This may indicate a networking or connectivity problem” This occurs on all devices. It does not occur when playing from my own music files through Roon.
Do you have the latest firmware installed in your BlueSound devices? There was a recent update (BluOs 3.10.0) that resolved a lot of people’s connection issues.
What Router are you using? If your core machine is using wireless to the router that could be the source of your problem. Try an Ethernet connection from core to router if possible.
I am using the latest version of the Blusound so I don’t think that is the problem. Also, I have the same issue when playing through my Gold Note streaming device. Also, the problem only occurs when playing Tidal. Locally stored files play perfectly.
I’m using an Orbi Router, which has worked fine with Roon since I installed it more than a year ago. Also, the problem only occurs when playing Tidal, not with locally stored files.
I started out all wireless and it worked most of the time. But the issues you mentioned did occur on occasions. After wiring the connection between the core and router it hasn’t happened. Since then I’ve added Ethernet to the endpoints as well. Not a single drop or skip that I can recall.
Thanks Mike. My setup makes wiring nearly impossible, and my in home wireless is quite good. I don’t what happened this time but I’m happy to have my music back.
