Roon keeps skipping to next track, doesn’t play

[mdconnelly]

I had the same problem today. I’d just made a new clean install of Roon ROCK on an Intel NUC.

Tried to play some music from Qobuz and it just kept skipping tracks, at one point it skipped four tracks at once.

I posted about the problem on the Roon support forum, but no responses all day. I think the support on Roon has been getting worse recently, no responses from them. I’m beginning to wonder if it’s time to move on from Roon.

I suspect the problems with Roon support of late is growing pains.   Their 1.8 release have created some issues and it certainly seems like their forums have been overloaded including the support thread.    Since you're using Rock on a NUC, I'll ask the question I've seen others ask...  What DNS Server do you have specified on the Rock web page? (i.e. enter the IP address of your NUC in a browser and you'll see it there).   If not set, consider setting it to one of the top-performing ones such as 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or 9.9.9.9.   

I don't pretend to understand why a DNS server would affect the problem you're having but others have suggested it does.
