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?

@dwmb I hear you but have to point out that Linux based systems in particular typically require upgrades over time in order to remain reliable and secure.  I say that as an IT guy with 40+ years of UNIX experience.  
 

It’s seldom fun, but maybe it’s  time for an upgrade.    My experience with Roon tells me not a good idea to get too far behind.  Using components that can be upgraded over time cost effectively is a good strategy. 

@mapman Thank you, but I’m not an IT person. So, what NAS alternative would you suggest that will meet the new Roon system requirements and run quiet, preferably without a fan?

@dwmb  I do not use NAS so can’t really speak to that. 
 

I do use a USB drive with the Asus NUC referenced above.   I would recommend using a local disk drive over a network connected one for best performance in general. 
 

Fast CPU’s needed for Roon performance typically require fans for cooling.   The NUC is no exception however the fan is very quiet and not an issue. 
 

 

I had this issue using my MU2 with Roon and Qobuz. It was irritating. Just received an update yesterday that fixed it. Since the MU2  and roon are so closely tied, I can’t say what actually was fixed. But since a fix is available I’m confident it will be rolled out to other platforms soon.
