If I could send you screenshots, you would be able to quickly assess the situation.
Fatal error caused by Roon, system crashes, Roon closes unexpectedly, crashes Oh oh, something is wrong in a pop-up from Roon ...
In the Roon Info section, the Roon Server field says that the latest version is already in use, but Roon Remote Control says “Waiting for Roon Server.”
The Roon Server status is indicated as: Roon Server Status: Running.
I use Roon Remote and Roon Server on a MacBook Pro with macOS 15.7.3 - and the computer is used exclusively for music playback and was extremely stable “until Roon came along.”
I am desperate because I have been unable to solve the problem despite hours of trying and searching the internet. Perhaps you have an idea (or hopefully, you certainly do)?
My guess is that I am not staying “stable” connected to your server or that the Roon Server is not consistently connected or recognized. This is because the crashes do not occur when playing music, but when “reading hard drive, indexing” and “waiting for your Roon Server” (which is installed on the same computer as mine) is regularly displayed, and then problems occur.
Very strange - can you please help me? I have been trying for two months and am annoyed.
Clicked on the small green spinning circle, "Add music to music library… identified and the blue bar starts slowly and after a few minutes, new window:
“There was a problem loading your library.”
Then I am asked to restore a backup, even though I “only” wanted to import the data.
I created the current log afterwards and sent it to you.
Thanks for confirming Roon is running. We were able to retrieve diagnostics and have been able to locate the issue, it looks like your Roon Server has run out of space:
Critical: scx: System.IO.IOException: No space left on device : '/Users/snej/Library/RoonServer/Database/
I would clear out some space on the device. Do you have any backups of your Roon database made? It may be safer to restore from a backup to avoid issues down the line.
Indeed, I was able to free up a lot of storage space by deleting APFS snapshots and music data that had been stored locally up to that point.
I will test the result and can well imagine that it has certainly been useful and your answer helpful, but I fear that there is another problem: When I first wanted to start a backup today, Roon told me in the “Settings - Info - Roon Remote Control” section, “Waiting for Roon Server” (instead of the expected message: The latest version is already in use, as is the case with the box directly below it (Roon Server This Mac), and at the same time the top line shows that the Roon Server status is “running.” The backup could NOT be started, and the next screen informed me that "Waiting for your Roon Server, does not appear to be running. Starting Roon Server did not work, but as already mentioned, the top line of the monitor shows the server status as “running.”
Hopefully you have an idea what I can do - so that the “waiting for the Roon server” comes to an end.
If you could please send me a link, I will send you a screenshot of what I described above.
