Since last Saturday i have a syncing issue with Tidal.

The problem
I’m currently at Home2. I cannot check the behaviour in Home1.
The problem started last Saturday.
Tidal library is no longer syncing well. I still can play Tidal music from my Roon library but do not see any Tidal albums in Roon/Tidal/New or in Roon/Overview.
I have restarted my QNAP NAS Saturday (before the sync failure) but i do not see the relation with my problem.
Reboot the modem/router, reboot Rock and the remotes.
Log out of Tidal and signed in again
Checked if Tidal app is working flawlessly-Yes
No action did resolve or change the problem.
The sync status does not seem to change. It remains syncing.
i could not find the path /Library/Roon/Cache.
I deleted the content of \ROCK\Data\RoonServer\Cache.
Album overview changed however.
Now i have 525 albums in library.
OK, i followed your instructions.
All seems normal. Library is restored and Tidal is synced. Can i savely restore my back up?
I want my bookmarks, internet radio stations and my tags back.
Unfortunately it didn’t work.
Bookmarks etc returned but also the Tidal syncing problem.
My back up was made today when i was not logged in at Tidal.
I left it syncing a while but then the Roon app and Rock webpage were no longer accessible. I had to reboot the NUC and after i could reinstall Roon.
It is now building the library again.
I think the next step here is to enable some diagnostics on your account so our technical staff can get some more insight into what’s going on here.
However, before I enable this feature, I’d like to ask for your help ensuring we gather the right information.
First, can you please reproduce the issue once more (try accessing the TIDAL tab, as well as syncing TIDAL) and note the time at which the problem occurs. Then respond here with that time, and I’ll make sure we review the diagnostics related to that timestamp.
Today (09:20h) i repeated the steps you adviced me to do.
Roon & Tidal working well after. Bookmarks etc. missing.
After restoring from back up things go creasy.
I tried several things including restoring from a 3 month old back up and removing tidal folder from cache.
Nothing worked well.
Finally i started all over again and restored my bookmarks and internet radio stations manualy,
Roon&Tidal working as expected.
It’s frustating not being able to understand what went wrong. I do not want continue to tinker around again, i want to enjoy music.
