bubba Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I have to go into MR web interface and select "Restart HQPlayer," or just reboot the thing. Often MR does not respond to my initial attempts to select restart HQP or reboot. I have to open/close/refresh MR page. Once it accepts restart selection or reboots, I can go into HQP preferences and select the Audiophellio and resume playback. This happens using HQP as stand alone or with Roon. Used to think it only occurred with larger DSD files, but it seems to occur with smaller files and tidal music as well. Roon drops MR periodically as well, but a lot easier to recapture. System: 2014 Mac Mini (SSD, 8GB, with Roon, Roon Server, HQP), Synology 415+, cheap ethernet switch all of which is in storage room, cat 5 ethernet cable (I think) in the wall, Cat 6 + 7 for all shorter connections, cheap switch on rack to MR, Audiophellio SPDIF Hunches: This MR is malfunctioning, switches suck, CAT 5 in wall sucks, need mo ram, settings on Synology may need to be tweaked to prevent sleeping, or something weird is happening between Audiophellio and MR to cause MR to lock up temporarily Will you folks please give me some ideas? Thanks. Link to comment
Miska Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Maybe this could be posted in the Sonore area of the forum in the NAA thread? Signalyst - Developer of HQPlayer Pulse & Fidelity - Software Defined Amplifiers Link to comment
Elberoth Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Does this also happen in uPnP mode and Roon mode ? Adam PC: custom Roon server with Pink Faun Ultra OCXO USB card Digital: Lampizator Horizon DAC Amp: Dan D'Agostino Momentum Stereo Speakers: Magcio M3 Link to comment
bubba Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 OK, posted it in Sonore area as well. It happens in Roon mode too. I'm not familiar with uPnP. Link to comment
Elberoth Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 uPnP = MPD I was having the same problem. Basicly, the uR was stopping to work in all 3 modes. At first Sonore have blamed it on the HQ Player and asked me to contact Jussi for help. Then they asked me to upgrade the software, change my USB and Ethernet cables to generic etc. - but nothing worked. I have finally got another uR, which allow me to confirm that the first one is faulty. I have sent the malfunctioning unit for refund.

bubba Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Thanks Elberoth. I'll try to contact them to request exchange or whatever. Link to comment
bubba Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Fixed problem: shoddy ethernet patch cord/cable was to blame. It was located in our security system panel that also houses broadband cable and some ethernet junctions. I need a screw driver to access this panel, so I don't usually go in there. Micro Rendu has been working perfectly after all. And, Sonore folks were prompt with requests for help yesterday, and patient while helping to problem solve this. So, thanks. Link to comment
