Have you tried MPD direct play yet? Use a controller like Rigelian or MaximumMPD and play direct from your ssd to the player. Mconnect channels from server to Mconnect and then to the player. PGGB magic.

Rigelian still doesn’t work for me - and it appears that it won’t as long as my Server and Player run on two different machines.

For reasons unknown, my PGGB files aren’t being properly scanned by MinimSever. The folders are either empty or missing tracks. This was a problem in my former setup and I hoped the switch to MinimServer would have corrected it but no such luck. Glider keeps crashing when I try to sync my library so that’s probably part of it. I hated these UPNP apps a decade ago and it seems they still stink just as bad as they did then. Many of my PGGB tracks show up under Unknown Artist. It’s 2021 - how the heck could ther still be apps unable to read tags? HQPlayer and Roon can both find the tags for these tracks.

Sorry for the epic rant but I just want this to be plug and play. I did purchase a license for MinimServer. I hope I can make tweaks to help it along. They do generate a log of the files they couldn’t read along with the reason why. I will look for this. I went through this crap when I owned an Auralic Aries. Roon was such a godsend because they were able to intelligently derive the tags. That was 2016 or so - so I would hope that MinimServer has gained some smarts since then.

Hello there, Magic. Welcome back.

HQPlayer is sounding at least as good as it was before the restart mania.

Bonus… no more hi pitched squeal when stopping MPD in middle of track.

Something to try. In browser type yourIP/v2. For me it takes me to the underlying sonicorbiter software. Could be dangerous.

Could be dangerous

Very

Hmm, finished the 3.1 upgrade on CX and EX, everything seemed to go fine, but upon launching Roon, I couldn't find the Core, was prompted to unauthorize another running instance, and now it looks like I'm setting up Roon from scratch. Did I screw something up?

That's what I experienced. After restoring your last Roon backup all will be good.

I doubt it will be dangerous ... but probably should be avoided.

Well I’m stuck after stage two, no stage 3. Tried 1-1 time, don’t bother they don’t phone. Mark after asking clarification 3 times what happen to me, has gone quiet. couple of other members are in same position, wondering if they should return units, yikes. this Wasn’t what I signed up for, and do offer condolences if any one else is having software or other upgrade issues.

They've asked for patience. If you aren't hearing back from them it's likely because they are helping to solve someone else's issues. This is just how things go sometimes in the world of tech upgrades.

With 3.1, my K50 hasn’t frozen up once yet, unlike 3.0. We’re still in early days, but that alone made the update worth it
