Roon Runners Corner

I will try it,thank you :pray::pray::pray::pray::pray::pray:

@Polygonhell

Hello,
I have reinstalled Roon under Windows and instead of deautirising it I clicked on Oops… and I was able to select the connection that it should take Roon via the Diet Pi and it runs.

In terms of sound, I can hear what you can already hear under the Ipad when you use it as a user interface.
So no difference in that respect.
As mentioned, there is a difference between Windows and Roon Server.
Thank you again for the tip, I can now operate Roon via Windows as normal as before, the only difference is that it no longer streams directly from the PC as a core.
I can also use the Roon interface with either the PC or Ipad at the same time.

Really happy, even if it was a bit of work, most of it worked with some minor failures.
It just takes some time to familiarise yourself with everything and if something doesn’t quite work, I just reinstalled it and started again.

Thank you very much, it was a great help from you. :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray:

In case it helps anyone, the recent Windows 11 2H24 update removed my ability to browse my Rock installation and connect to the shared storage. I’d previously mapped a network drive and my Music Library folder.

Just noticed today that I could no longer simply click to browse the Rock music storage. After some fiddling I saw the error that mentioned that a policy setting may be preventing unauthenticated browsing of network resources.

Some quick searched pointed me to where to go in the registry to enable unauthenticated browsing of network resources.

Back in business now as it’s just so much easier to drag and drop newly ripped or downloaded content to the Roon server’s storage.

I love that they added pre-baked headphone presets for a lot of headphones. I did try the two available for the Sol P but didn’t end up liking them as much as not using them. That said, it’s a great feature for sure

Thinking out loud here as a means to solve a few “problems” in my existing Roon Core.

Looking to possibly implement a NAS device like this ZimaBoard 2. The fact that it allows for inexpensive SATA SSD and it has dual 2.5GbE is a nice solution at the price point.

It would solve a couple of problems I have right now, namely easily upgrading my Roon drive. I’d like to upgrade its capacity before it gets a little tight but the process is tedious and inconvenient.

Something like this would allow me to just relocate the library to the NAS which given it’s much more robust Ethernet would help file transfers. I’m also thinking that moving the library out of the Roon Core will lower the CPU overhead.

Any obvious flaws in my thinking?

Dude, this is basically how you set my ROON system up👍 works great WHEN its working😜

The only real issues i have is some ROON updates require me to reset every single piece of equipment that touches the network and in my house that’s a pain in the ass becuse it requires 3 floors and multiple rooms of equipment. Otherwise, yeah this is the best way to run it in my non technically savvy opinion :+1:
