I’m new to roon, so this is going to sound a bit presumptuous… but I have decades of experience as a system architect on large, mission critical systems, parts of which had near real-time constraints, so maybe this perspective is useful. I have a very large (> 10,000 album) music collection. I’ve …

system 1: a non-roon music system I used for a couple of years. It played back beautifully, but as my music collection grew the user interface became intolerably slow (though playback once started still worked very well) system 2: my first roon install as outlined previously, using a dell laptop f…

Danny, do you really want to be of any help for ROON-clients? @enno @Carl Oh, great, the first sign of life from @danny , after very long time yet again in another thread and not where the questions have been placed. I am not happy at all with the arrogant, defensive style of your reply, Danny, de…

Whenever I see reports of skipping tracks, in 80% of them I believe I can walk into that home and point out where the problem is or even fix it. That is after a significant time trying different things after having those issues myself. That is the reality. And it has to be said that as distressing a…

@Danny . Thank you for looking into this. It was not my intent to do “a disingenuous thing” and I am sorry if I did. But is it “a disingenuous thing” to try to make clear that there are tens of users experiencing playback issues? I honestly don’t think so. Are most of the skips linked to either netw…

I’m not a habitual contributor to user forums, and would like to get off this thread, but I feel a need to address danny’s latest response to me. I appreciate the comments from others including francois… this is a bit confusing since related content is contained in both this thread and the “playba…

FWIW, i host Roon on an i7 Mac Mini 2012 with a 1 terabyte SSD. All my content is on a Synology server. I also experienced playback skipping until I increased RAM from 4 to 16GB.

interesting point, but similar symptoms can have multiple causes. I have little experience with WAN streaming, but can certainly see how a VPN might help by changing and stabilizing the data path. I think the process and resource management in the core software is a more basic issue (and more unde…

its not the overall hardware requirements I’m addressing (though its great that roon did the optimization work), nor is it why my modest windows box failed (though thats nice to understand). its ** what the system does when it runs into problems**. here are 2 hypothetical results of an overload or…

[image] jim_hamilton: the system slows or stops scanning and background audio analysis. metadata retrieval is sluggish. A scan of my repository takes 5 times as long as it should. My tracks still play, though search and selection are slower than usual. It does exactly this. It runs at a very …
