Roon update in Qobuz

FYI

Dear Partners,

We have identified a technical issue affecting the availability of certain audio files on our API.

The problem specifically concerns files larger than 50MB. It results in a size mismatch error between the requested and received data, linked to a partial object caching issue.

Our technical team is currently investigating to identify the root cause and the scope of impacted files. We are working to resolve this as soon as possible.

We will keep you informed of our progress.

Best regards,
The Qobuz team

It’s fixed some but I still get error when playing some files. Nameless is one song I cannot play.

Roon is now running on my Pink Faun server. To prevent errors or files getting stuck I am not using Qobuz. Roon froze on different tracks maybe 30 times today. Then the new update appeared. I loaded it, I am using it. I have zero hope things will be better. I am sad.

(But it has been playing my non-Qobuz music nicely since the new update. I may even try Qobuz again. No, no, that would be foolish). [Cries]

Update: Still the same. Roon gets stuck same as before. Sigh.

The song that it got stuck on plays fine after rebooting both Roon and the MacBook it was playing to. There is nothing to learn other than Roon is spiraling downward.

Roon just did a software update on mine. But I have not had time to check Qobuz yet. I got things to do but will try it later.

I was wondering if the Roon/Qobuz problems I was having the last few days were isolated to me…apparently not!

The latest Roon update seems to help. I have not experienced stoppage yet, but I only listen to two albums so far.

In the past few days I encountered much more stoppages within the first hour, so far so good today.

Thatā€˜s been my experience today. Roon radio and Qobuz favourites had become unplayable. Play 3 or 4 songs, then it would stop and then start playing 5 or 10 minutes later. Today, no stoppages at all.

That is great news! Last week I almost wanted to cancel my Roon membership, then realized I was bonded to lifetime.

I have been playing Qobuz all day, and so far everything has been smooth. :wine_glass:

This article seems to say Roon will no longer work on certain streamers… any Roon experts out there know better?

I’m not a Roon user, but found this statement apropos to users here …

ā€œThe biggest concern is likely among owners of older Macs, QNAP NAS, and proprietary high-end music servers (such as Grimm, Silent Angel, Innuos, Melco, Mytek, Antipodes, Primecore, and many more).ā€

The Grimm one stood out to me since I am under the understanding that Grimm requires (or is strongly recommended?) the use of Roon. A friend is looking at the Grimm system that was shown at AXPONA, an issue with Roon would definitely require me to warn him of the issue.

I have avoided Roon in favor of my Innuos Sense app and Zen Mk3 hard drive but the streamer is so good on the PMG 512 that I was considering moving to Roon despite the subscription business model - not a fan. Additionally, theoretica (am considering BAACH4Mac) suggests using Roon… so was hoping to use the Zen Mk3 as a Roon core - seems no longer an option. Would be surprised if a Mac Mini could compare soncially to my Zen Mk3 for downloaded music playback (except with B4M).

I’m resting a few hours from my vacation today, and the news of Roon update disturbed me. My MU2 is shutdown now, and I hope I don’t hear MU2 users give any bad news tomorrow :folded_hands:

Oh man, it’s really disturbing to hear that so many of our brethren are having trouble with Roon and Qobuz.

Things were also pretty messed up for me a couple of weeks ago with Roon hanging indefinitely on certain songs, but it seems to have cleared itself up over the last ten days or so, but then my Roon Core is on a first generation Nucleus+ (using the BACCH-SP adio as an HQP endpoint), so maybe that’s why I’m not having the same problems so many here are reporting.

It would seem a betrayal of a huge number of Roon subscribers and lifetime license holders to suddenly render (no pun intended) Roon non-op on so many fine legacy devices. I can’t imagine business model suicide would be their intent, but the problems reported here are real.

That said, I’m playing Qobuz files right now without any problem…

The big Roon update has been pushed back a week to April 27th to solve some Linux and NAS user issues. That’s sounds like a good news to me.

The are moving to Docker. That’s for their advantage not ours. Not surprised it’s seeing issues. I have upgraded two older systems to container based. It’s not as easy as advertised. Supporting it on many OS and platforms not easy too. Not like they advertise that’s for sure.
