I must say it runs rock solid here. And so much easier to get it to work than trying to get Roon to work with a Wine Bottle. Running Linux Mint 22.1 with the Cinnamon desktop.
Bought you some coffee. Cheers.

Community Remote : after a while
- At first, as I will point out some functions I miss, Iâd like to say that you did a really great job !!!
- I installed it for a while now and I end up realizing that I am not using it much. I therefore tried to understand why and listed below the elements that push me to use either my phone instead or ⌠a bloody windows OS PC :
Must have (in order to use only Community Remote)
- (non existing) fonction âfocusâ (which I love to use in an attempt to rediscover a non-already-in-a-playlist track I love and missed for so long) but basic shuffle is provided.
- no possibility to connect with data / artwork a track / album making it necessary to find a windows OS based computer⌠(more a message to roon team as I have to mention that Jan already explained the roon API is not allowing to do it but nevertheless, I am frustrated having to get a windows OS PC to make those corrections)
- playlists are accessible but I didnât find how to add a track being played to a playlist
- âqueue transferâ is not working as expected. Trying to throw the queue from my linux PC to a Marantz doesnât change the queue of the Marantz.
Nice to have
- I thought I would have some but with the addition you brought my listing disappeared
Just for information
- not a problem for me but if it helps, the grid view is not working for me (Kubuntu 24.04 LTS, Community Remote 0.2.0)
- when listening a track, I canât scroll forward nor backward in the song

try to connect to my roon server, feed in IP and 9330 as Port. CRemote ask my for my name and then âRequest Accessâ.
I donât unserstand the process. What I have to do next?
You have to use your Roon Remote to setup the extension.
Perfect, working now many Thanks

Hi, thanks very much for building this.
Iâm new to Linux and have just started using a debian set up.
This app is working well for its core function, which is playing my music, but I am definitely missing some features from the native Windows app.
For example, when I would click on an artist or song it would tell me the album of the song (e.g. something discovered through Qobuz) and it would link me through to the entire album, other artists on the same album, their discographies etc and I could basically jump down a rabbit hole of listening to an artist and adjacent artists discographies.
On this app when Iâm playing a song through streaming, if I click on the artist it doesnât come up with their discography and itâs not clickable through to the album etc.
New to Linux. I love Community Remote. I wish Windows Roon had the âplay random album featureâ This is fantastic Thank you!

When you scroll down on the live radio list and select a channel, the list is refreshed and you jump to the top. So, to play the next channel, you have to scroll down again to your previous position.
Would be nice if the position were kept.
Itâs different than Community Remote, but Iâve written an app to play random albums for Mac and Windows. See more info: Random Roon Album App
just an appreciation comment : thank you so much, incredible work from you guys, you just revived my old Z4 tablet, I can now browse Roon and read while listening !
additional kudos for integrating true randomization, which I love so much

Another really happy and appreciative user - thank you for all you work! Running on AlmaLinux 9, coexists happily with the Random Radio extension. Only thing I had to do was manually enter my serverâs IP/port, and then restart the flatpak.
Just wanted to drop a huge âthank you!â for Community Remote! I can finally control Roon from my primary desktop!
Built from source on Arch and went perfectly, no issues.

Just installed Community Remote on a Linux Mint system, no issues. However two things which seem odd and Iâm curious if itâs âjust meâ or if anyone has noted them before.
Left side, Artists, Albums, etc⌠If I long-click I see I can toggle which items are available here. Cool, fine, but after I enable what I want and donât want I donât see how to apply and exit that mode. Basically just had to quit the app entirely.
Secondly I see no queue management whatsoever. I can add a song or an album and the queue consumes itself, but I have no way of simply clearing the queue entirely. I can keep clicking next, next etc which is silly but even then Iâm stuck with the last track having to play out. Or, I guess, pull up Roon on my phone and do the job right.
Cheers,
Robert
I dont have answer on item 1 but I agree that queue management would be a most welcome addition to this app. Havenât heard from the developer in a while tho.
