Roon Issues - Not able to play certain tracks

I have been running into this issue when Roon is in the radio mode where spontaneously it runs into a track it can’t play. It just sits there trying to play it. 
When I go to that album and attempt to manually play that same track on Qobuz the result is the same - it won’t play. Plays other tracks from the albums just fine. 
If I go back to Roon radio and skip that track the next song is played no issues.
No such problems with Tidal. 
 

I have rebooted the Roon Nucleus One, rebooted my network, rebooted my DAC. 
Even signed out of streaming services and signed back in. No bueno. This is in addition to it being sluggish and requiring an almost daily reboot to maintain sound quality and proper operating speed. Now this…
 

Anyone else with this problem?

I commiserate with everything stated about Roon, past, present, and future.

I nearly sent my Roon Nucleus One to my garage vice and crushed it out of existence. That is one POS hardware platform, plastic heatsinks included. I have a Teddy Pardo 19V power supply I will be selling at some point.

I do agree with @mapman on a more powerful machine running Ruin (good one @audphile1 ); it’s been running on an i7 windows 11 PC without issue so far. Roon radio runs non stop 24/7 whereas on the giant POS ruined nucleus nONE, it would crap out after a few songs.

@mclinnguy Tidal is great. Zero issues with performance or sound quality. 
See if you can sneak in a free trial. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on it.

I had a weird issue where Roon had trouble with some albums if I had some of those tracks locally. So, for instance, if I purchased track 4 of an album, it would not be able to see that Tidal had the whole album.

@audphile1 😆😆😆 exactly!

Ad for my Nuclear trash one: free to good bat and hillside. Must shoot slo-mo video capturing the destruction.
