Hi Guys,
I see that ROON and TIDAL become extremely popular.
Of course this is not a business app but since most of us put all the music collections on NAS storage - I do not see why we cannot create ROON server or bridge.
As we are closer to another lockdown - let get busu and create this plugin :smile:

Why is this in the Emby forum? Roon looks to be its own standalone software.

"Because there isn't a FreeBSD version" would seem to be an adequate answer to this question, according to their download page.

"My FreeNAS server isn't working, so I'll ask questions here about Synology instead." Makes about as much sense.

In any case, unless you know something I don't (which is entirely possible), Roon doesn't run on FreeBSD, so it wouldn't be possible to put it in a plugin. You could always create a Linux VM to run it in if you wanted.

Tried already....
Too cumbersome. If I do this then I just will run it on VMware.
Will play a "beet around the bushes" for this task and will see what will come out.

Agreed; if you have a different hypervisor solution, that would probably be better than running the VM on FreeNAS.
