Guys,

This is driving me nuts my 818v3 is online and I have enabled it in Roon, it's showing as ID40, but when I click play nothing happens it just freezes.

And in my house the 218 is having the exact same issue, it just simply won’t start via Roon.

Please help

818v3 has an ID41 not ID40, was that a typo?

Can you describe how your devices are connected?

What device are you running Roon on?

Are both Meridian devices running the latest fw, V4.00 for the 818v3, the 218 is updated via Sooloos or by running the Sooloos config program if you have never used Sooloos?

As a test connect the 818 or 218 and the Roon core directly to the SAME network switch then connect the switch to the router (do not use your router as a switch) does it work now?

Lastly has it ever worked?

This is a long shot, but are you running the very latest version of Roon? There is a fix in there for a bug with the Sooloos protocol losing connectivity to the end point. Other than that, I’d echo the previous comment about testing with an ethernet switch, rather than a router.

Do the devices have the standard configuration in them or have you put in a custom config?. They should work without issue straight out of the box provided your network is not restricting things.

Mine does this occasionally.

Try turning off everything connected to the network - hifi gear, computers (especially the Roon core), switches, router. Then turn them on one at a time, but starting with the router, then any switches, then the Roon core, then last (really, last) any Meridian gear. Works every time here.
