Focus on Remote (iPhone)

[Fabiano_Souza]

Focus is the most valuable feature in Roon.
It is all I ever wanted to organize and manage my large library.
Unfortunately its not present on iPhone Remote, tho I am bound to have my notebook at hand for my listening sessions compromising the experience.

Do you have plans to include focus on Remote?

Definitely a big +1!

+1 from me too

Yup, we definitely have plans to include focus on mobile.

I am a Roon newbie. Reading the post I understand that the Focus feature is not available thru Roon Remote. So what are the means to use it ?!

It’s not available on the phone versions but is available on Tablet or Pc remote. One other feature is only available on pc and that’s uploading custom filters to the DSP engine other than that tablet and pc are the same, phone is limited due to it lack of screen coverage, or is the excuse that is used in this case.

Many thanks. But what is the URL to access these features? I tried http://192.168.1.50:9100/display/ but I only got to see the current track playing. What did I do wrong?

There is no url, display feature is for now playing only it offers nothing else it’s for those that want to see artwork and lyrics on a big screen. True remotes are apps you install on phone, tablet or pc.

Mobile apps as 1st class citizens. Coming up on the 4th anniversary. Happy Feature to you.
Don’t hold your breath.

Tablet stuck in phone mode [SOLVED: bad DPI from manufacturer]

If your screen, after compensation for DPI, runs at what our graphics designers have deemed large enough for the full ui, you are in tablet mode (which is similar to the desktop mode). If your machine doesn’t hit that spec, you run in phone mode. The resolution, post DPI compensation is around 1024x700. What most people around here call portrait mode is really phone mode, and waht they call landscape mode is desktop/tablet mode. The phone mode does not really have browsers… you can get to th…

I just figured out a sort-of workaround for this issue, maybe some of you will find it useful:

Focus for mobile App

After getting annoyed about the lack of the “Focus” functionality on mobile a couple of times already, I’ve finally figured out a work-around that works for me: Set up your search / filter on desktop, then save it as a “bookmark”: [Screenshot 2021-01-02 at 16.18.48] The bookmarked items are then available from the mobile app. I still can’t create new filters from mobile, but that’s okay for me.

I would love to see this feature! When will it be available?!

[currycooqoo]

I also select the focus on Mac, bookmark it and display it on iPhone.

[Thilak_Thankappan]

Is this feature available in 1.8? I don’t see why this it is so hard a UI feature?
Not everyone is walking around with an iPad or Mac all the time. We must have feature parity between desktop and mobile.
