Roon requires you to run there server software on a computer, one of average to high end spec or a high end nas.

Chris,

that's the hardware requirement for Roon ( with the GUI ).  If you're using Roon Server you'll get away with a lot less than that.  I run Roon Server on a four year old Synology NAS, and it runs fine.

Hi Chris,


Does the Roon Mode disable the Tidal Application ? My page won't load anymore. Too bad, cause i disabled Tidal in Roon, to not be so abundantly present in my own library.... Thought id play Tidal from within the MM/Bryston interface.


Cheers,
Marius

Hi Ron,

After looking at the recommended specs of Roon yesterday I figured I wouldn't be able to run it on my NAS which is only a couple years old. It has an Atom processor and only 1GB of RAM that I can see on the Settings page. Mine is also Synology, the DS415play. What are your NAS's specs and how are you running it? I didn't see any Roon related packages when looking around Package Center yesterday.

Oh and I also do not have SSD drives. I'm using 3 WD 6TB Red NAS drives.

Ah cool, thanks  :thumb:


it is indeed, and if you register you can post in the relevant forum on https://community.roonlabs.com/c/linux/qnap-synology , Christopher responds within the minute....  :thumb:


btw u can use a Hdd usb drive, change its name to RoonServer (forget about creating a share on the external Usb drive, the Usb drive is already the share itself) and Roon Server will startup correctly


Keep in mind you have to add local folders, since they are on your NAS, and you run RoonServer from your NAS.


Cheers,
Marius

I'm running a Synology 1512+ with 3GB of RAM.

hmm, you have a lot more RAM than I do. Are you using HDD or SSD drives? Is the 1512+ 32bit or 64bit?

Thanks

Wow! Great work, Chris, et al.

I will try this when I get home and may have to eat my words and re-engage with Roon (my 1 year license is valid until end of July).

I am eager to see if there is integration with the BDP-1 display panel and control buttons, but either way I am eager to hear how it stands up to MPD playback.

Excellent work Chris.  S 2.28 works great in Roon Ready mode.  Any chance Bryston users will see HQPlayer compatibility (NAA mode) in a future firmware update?

Tidal Web App should still be functional, it could be that the Roon Ready app isn't releasing to audio interface

Well, whatever the case, no music loading in the Tidal application in MM.
Maybe i have to wait for the Roon server to update, although i wouldn't know why, because my BDP stands idle right now, while the updating process is going on in the Roon interface and on the Nas (RoonServer)

Marius

I'm running a Synology 1512+ with 3GB of RAM.   


Same NAS here, experiencing heavy gaps/dropouts in playing. 16 and 32 bit. Maybe because the RoonServer is still updating my library.


Also, i'm on 1 gb memory and external Hdd. Tomorrow an SSD arrives, and 2gb extra memory is on order.... Maybe that will help.


Maybe i need to dive into the setup, and check for special settings.


Cheers,
Marius

Hi Marius

I have Roon installed on my system at work (desktop computer) and also at home (laptop) and no issues at all. :scratch:

I think the NAS is not up to the task?

HI James,


I suspect that to be the case indeed. I'll wait for the indexing to finish and my SSD and extra system memory to arrive for final judgement ;)

Roon released new updates today (officially naming Bryston btw) and the Synology/Qnap support. Maybe that helps too.

I'll check BDP system logs / memory usage also, the BDP1 might be a bit under specced ?


Cheers,
happy experimenting,


Marius
