    Roon Bridge is a lot more reliable than UPnP due to the closed sourced network that Roon operates. I still get minor issues when using UPnP, but hard to complain when UPnP is free.

    1000% more reliable. My home Rpi/Ropiee based streamers are up for months at a time. My work Rpi/Moode/BubbleUpnp streamer gets rebooted at least once a week, often more.

    Upnp can be used a bajillion ways on insane number of devices. Every setup will have reliability differences. Overall, Roon will be more consistently reliable because of what @YMO said. But before I had Roon I ran a couple of Sonore USB endpoint/streamers and a couple of Sotm ones, in UPnP mode with BubbleUPnP on my phone and they were all super reliable. RPi has been the least reliable, with UPnP or Roon.

    @rlow So my issue might be because I’m using a Raspberry Pi? I was afraid of that.

    RPi + OS. The Pi OSs with UPnP just seem downright buggy, especially Volumio. Never tried Moode. There may be others that are far more reliable.

    I never really had issues with moOde with Roon Bridge on. As an UPnP renderer it’s mostly good.

    @YMO I didn’t realize Moode could also do roon!

    There’s a catch with moOde with Roon Bridge: While the on/off on Roon Bridge is available, the drivers itself isn’t included with moOde. You have to install it via terminal, super easy.

    Well, I’m gonna try Ropiee first anyway.

    Scroll down until you see Roon Bridge armv7hf and then copy/paste/enter the three commands. After it installs, reboot moOde and turn on Roon Bridge.

    Ropieee is pretty plug and go and reliable. But I have hit a few snags via some updates - after updating it, Roon just can't see it anymore and I try everything to no avail.Only thing that works is to reflash the card with full Ropieee. This has happened maybe 2-3 times over a year or more. Other than that, it just works.
