Description Of Issue
In my GUI for Roon, I see a spinning circle icon in the top right hand corner, next to the bookmark icon. If I click it, it says “Metadata Improver: Paused”. Also, says “Roon is having trouble verifying your connection with our servers, so metadata improvement has been paused. Check your internet connection and make sure that you’re running the latest version of Roon.”
Internet radio works fine and I can also play music from Qobuz through Roon, so this would suggest internet access from my Core is ok?
This error typically means that your Core is having trouble connecting to our servers, so it sounds like something about the VPN you’re using is causing an issue here. I’d look into what options are available with this VPN and maybe set exceptions to allow traffic from Roon to not be blocked or altered in any way.
