Roon & HQPlayer Issue

[The Computer Audiophile]

This is so annoying. I have Roon server and HQP running on CAPS Twenty. This has worked for about a year. Now, Roon stops playing after a few tracks and the music can't be restarted without fiddling. 

 

I've heard many times that running Roon and HQP on the same machine can be a no-no, but it was working so good until now. :~(

 

HQP works great by itself. I left it running over night, and heard perfect music when I sat down at my desk this morning. 

 

Anyone have this same issue or know of a fix? I'd try the Roon forum, but waiting a month for the first response doesn't sound thrilling.

I've always kept the two on separate machines but had a thought, have you tried configuring Roon HQP setup to use the IP address instead of localhost 127.0.0.1?

Trying this now. 

 

I also just noticed, the playback counter doesn't move along with the track. It's always at 0:00 when outputting to HQP.

Just updated HQP and switch to using the actual IP address of the machine and same issue.

Hi Chris,

when I had this problem I had to make a clear data from HQP
if that is not enough, you have to uninstall HQP from Roon and reinstall it
good luck

 

I think the Clear Data option fixed it. Playback counter is now moving and playback seems to be working as well. Fingers crossed :~)

I left it playing overnight and it's all good this morning. 

 

Thanks to everyone who offered help and cheers to the power of an independent forum!
