Tidal Takes Forever to Play in Roon

Description Of Issue

When accessing Tidal through roon, it takes minutes, up to 10 or 15 for a track to play. Qobuz seems to work fine. But when I use the Tidal application I have no issue playing music.

It’s 10-15+ seconds, not minutes, for me, but same issue.

You can see the troubleshooting I’ve done, but nothing has fixed/changed this problem for me, FWIW: Tidal very slow, Qobuz very fast

Hello @Joe_Thornton, and thanks for your report! Does this issue still occur if you connect your core via Ethernet as recommended in our networking best practices?
