Unable to connect to Concertgebouw Orchestra via Roon Radio (ref#06OYKJ)

Did AAC streams work recently? If I recall correctly, Synology removed at least AAC support from the built-in codecs a longer time ago.

What’s your Synology OS version?

Did you install the third-party codecs as described under Appendix: Adding support for additional audio codecs (like AAC…) on this page?

Also check this out if you didn’t:

Using FFmpeg “git master” build from John Van Sickle unpacked and installed on my SSD’s RoonOnNAS > bin directory. This is principally to ensure complete AAC support since Synology’s removal of built-in AAC support in 2023, but it provides the latest codecs for other other audio formats as well. I extract the entire git master build into this bin folder, and ensure that the permissions in ffmpeg and ffprobe are “755” (owner has read, write execute; group has read and execute; all others have read and execute.). You can check that Roon is using this version by looking at the RoonOnNAS.log.txt for a line that looks like "ffmpeg: /var/packages/RoonServer/shares/{RoonDatabaseVolumeName}/RoonOnNAS/bin/ffmpeg". If it instead points to something like /bin/ffmpeg, it is not using the John Van Sickle version, and you need to check the permissions of your self-installed version. Visit Roon on Synology NAS will no longer play AAC files to see this in action.
