Description of Issue
Hi, when playing playlists and albums from Tidal, the songs are pausing multiple times, then skipping to the next song. I get a message saying something like “Tidal is slow loading and there could be a connection issue.” This hadn’t happened before but now is continuous. When I play the same Tidal music via the Tidal app or Bowers & Wilkins app it works fine, so the issue is Roon-related. I am not expert on computers so reading posts in the Roon community with similar problems wasn’t much help.
I encountered a similar issue this week. I am running Roon ROCK on a NUC-I5 streaming to a Cambridge Audio CXN. Whether I am streaming music from Qobuz or from an SSD drive attached to the NUC, I started noticing that the music would pause, mid-stream, and then continue after a second or two or would just move to the next song. This afternoon it was happening every 10 mins or so. This just started after the most recent s/w update (ROCK 1.8, buIld 903).
I have also been suffering from this for a couple of weeks now. I run three systems based on Sonictransporters and they have been 100% rock solid for years. Now it is hard to get it to play at all as it just keeps saying that every track is unavailable on Tidal then skips then says too many errors. It does this when I pause a track and restart it. I doubt Tidal just removed the track that instant.

I encounter similar issues since last update. I have a Roon Nucleus and stream to an Auralic Altair G1. I stream from Qobuz and now and then some tracks from the SSD inside the Roon Nucleus. Tracks will stop playing for a second or two and then remain playing or I have to restart the track manually. Very annoying. Problem occurs both when streaming from Qobuz or from internal SSD.
When streaming directly from Qobuz to Altair, so without Roon, no problems at all. Therefor I also address this problem to Roon…
I’m having the same “Tidal is running slowly” issue and Roon skips to the next song. I have the Roon Nucleus, ethernet cable (audio quality) connected directly to my router. I get 900 Mbps. One of my speakers is also connected via ethernet to the router. The other speaker is over the Wi-Fi, which is probably around 700 Mbps (speed test on my Macbook Pro).
Thanks,
Nick
I have also experienced this over the last couple of days - also last week, but I think that was due to a larger cloud outage. Just logged out of Tidal everywhere then rebooted core and remote and logged back in and it seems to be OK (for now…).
I had issues with TIDAL MQA tracks played through Roon kicking out of MQA and into PCM, as indicated by my DAC (iFi xDSD Gryphon). After only a few seconds, they’d go back into MQA, and then repeat the cycle.
For the solution, I had a similar experience as @Rockhound.
Signing out, signing back in, rebooting my MacBook Pro core and restarting Roon (in no particular order) seemed to fix the skipping/format shifting.
I’m still having this problem. I restarted my Roon Nucleus and logged out of Tidal. No love… Just about every song drops and then skips to the next one. Super frustrating.
No, just when streaming from tidal and radio stations. With radio stations, I get a message that says something like the internet address may have changed… Cheers
Hi Roon Technical support. Any feedback please? I am still having issues with both Tidal and when streaming radio. I find it hard to believe it is my network given how simple my setup is. As mentioned above, I have the Roon Nucleus connected directly to my router on a QED Performance Ethernet Cable Graphite. I have fibre to the premise and get 900Mbps. I should not (could not) have any latency or capacity issues. Yet, songs constantly skip from one to the next when streaming Tidal and Radio streaming drops constantly.
Thanks,
Nick
Have you upgraded to 913 - that seems to have fixed it for some users? Also, have you set the DNS server in your router to point to Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) - this also helps some users?
Just an update. In addition to pointing my DNS to Cloudfare, I purchased a better (high end) router. After 4 days of listening to music via Tidal and streaming various radio stations, I have had no problems whatsoever. Music is playing smoothly. Not sure if it was my router or the DNS, but problem solved.
Thanks
