Won't play tracks until file is 'located'

I update when the app tells me to. Today the release is 1.8 (build 936). Since the first post in this thread I think there have been 2 updates.
The latest failures are in build 936.

Hi @John_Kustak1 ,

Thanks for reaching out! Can you please share a screenshot of your Roon Settings → Storage tab and how the directory looks like through finder?

Build 943 is current.

Dear Roon,
Been getting application quits and report to Apple. Do you get these reports?

Roon panicked and wouldn’t open. (build 936).
I rebooted machine.
Roon asked to be updated.
Roon updated to build xxx, took a while to perform database update.

Roon - setttngs - storage:

Version:

Thank you.

John

BTW - the first album I tried playing after the update and after I replied to your post… It didn’t play, skipped through all tracks. It was showing the artwork.
Second time playing - it worked. Still a frustrating experience.

Hello @John_Kustak1 ,

This looks like a crash we are investigating in another thread here:

I wonder, do you also have Monterey 12.3 or above? Do you have multiple network interfaces active by any chance?

I’ve also activated logging for your account, can you please use the Roon app for at least a few minutes and let us know so that we can check to see if logs have further clues, thanks!

Hello,
I’m happy to help out troubleshooting the issue. I am current on all Apple versions and have Monterey 12.3.1 currently.
My iMac is hardwired to the internet, but I can Wifi if necessary.

I had to force quit Roon this morning and re-booted. Roon promptly crashed on its first start up.
Crash report saved.
Reopened
Took 1-2 minutes to load.
First track chosen, played successfully.

I will listen to music most of the day. Let me know what I can do to help.

John

Hi @John_Kustak1,

I appreciate your patience as the tech support team takes a deeper look into this problem.

It will illuminate the problem if we know the details of your storage configuration. When you have a moment, would you please upload the following screenshots to the thread?

  • In Roon, navigate to Settings → Storage and take a screenshot of the storage settings.

  • Click “Add Folder” and take a screenshot of your File Browser.

Thank you!

Roon just finished playing an album, so I go to navigate to another album and the aforementioned issue of it ‘skipping’ tracks occurs. Also it is not displaying most of the artwork.

Here are the requested screen shots.

JAK Big is a Lacie 10TB drive that holds all the files for playback. Apple iTunes library is scanned as is my FLAC library. The bootleg library is also separate but all on the same drive. It is connected to the thunderbolt 4 port with nothing else. I direct connect it, no hub on this connection.

For the curious…

For a couple of days everything worked. Today it reverted back to crash, crash, not playing songs until asked many times. I rarely shut down my computer and did not do any updates today that I know of.

Hi @John_Kustak1,

I appreciate your patience and I’m sorry to hear that the issue is back with a vengeance today. We’ll take a look at the diagnostics around the time of this most recent crash - it will likely provide us with additional clues to finally pin this down.

We haven’t forgotten about you and hope to bring this to a quick conclusion once we’ve isolated the problem. Stay tuned.

I’m frustrated and happy to help. Hope the logs help. Feel free to let me know if there is something you want me to try.

Hi @John_Kustak1,

Looking through the logs around the time of the most recent crashes, Roon isn’t communicating properly with our metadata servers. I recommend setting aside the Roon server, which will help us identify if the issue is with the network:

  • Make a Backup of your current RoonServer Database
  • Exit out of RoonServer
  • Navigate to your RoonServer’s Database Location
  • Find the folder that says “RoonServer”
  • Rename the “RoonServer” folder to “RoonServer_old”
  • Reinstall the RoonServer App from our Downloads Page to generate a new RoonServer folder
  • On the Roon Remotes, press “Use another Core” and connect to the new database

Let me know if this helps at all.

Backup Made
Roon - renamed Roon_old_20220523
Reinstalled software - 1.8 Build 952
Setup new core and devices
Library is scanning. May take most of the day.
Music is playing and app is working as expected so far.

John

Hi @John_Kustak1,

I just wanted to follow up and see whether or not you’ve experienced stable playback since we last checked in. Hopefully everything continues to run smoothly since you last update.

Hello and thank you for following up. Things are improved, but I did have one glitch on Monday.
Basically I keep Roon running 24/7. For a few days everything was as expected. But on Monday I was listening to an album, songs would stop. It was a 96/24 file, but when I played the 44/16 version it too stopped mid-song.
I restarted my Roon core and files played normally. (I did not restart the iMac)
I continue to monitor.

Here are my raw notes:

PG family and the fishing net - 2 gaps.
2:02; FLAC 96/24 file. 3 error, kills entire song.
Time of error changes each time I play the file.
First 5 tracks played fine.
Intruder - gap , second gap.

Room core error- file loading slowly.
Moved to next track. Room stopped again
Froze for 15 seconds. They I could start the track again.
Stopped again

Will try CD quality.
Files stopped as well on Alac 44/16

Restarted roon core

Playing 96/48 family and fishing net.
No problems.
