Good day,
I would like to know how to read a complete album randomly ?
Thanks
Thierry
What do you mean by"read’ ?
Thanks for your answer
To play.
I would like to listen my music per album and randomly in my collection
Ah ok. All the tracks on each album but the albums in random order. I don’t think there is a straight forward way of doing that.
You would “Play” the Album then click the shuffle icon (looks like infinity symbol). If you have shuffle already set, then it will just shuffle, I think.
That plays the tracks shuffled, I think, the OP wants the albums shuffled. All the tracks in the right order within a shuffled set of albums.
Exactly Ged, you’re correct.
If I understood the requirements correctly, there is an existing extension covering that: Roon Extension: Random Radio v0.2.0 (do the album shuffle)
As someone who pretty much only listens to full albums, I use the extension a lot. And it simply works!
Thank you !
But impossible to install for me
I have some error during the installation
It is chinese for me !!!

UNQUOTE
Have you executed the installer with administrator rights?
Right click on the installer and select “Run as administrator”.
Thanks for this precision.
Installation seems ok
But there is nothing in the settings / extension
I fail to understand how to install an extension !
It is complicated for having only album played randomly !
Thanks in advance for your help !
First step is to verify if the service is running. Enter services in the Windows search bar, open the Services app and check that Roon Extension Manager is in the list and running.
If it is, then you might check your firewall settings. Enter firewall in the Windows search bar, open the Windows Defender Firewall app, select “Allow an app or feurure…” (at the left) and check that Node.js has been enabled for the private network.
Service is not running in services but is there, node.js is enabled. But than still I can not install cd player extension because it needs dock.
Hello,
Perhaps I am stupid but I fail to install any extension on Roon.
Why is it so complicated to play some albums randomly ?
It is possible with my Squeezebox and J.River Medi Center but not with Roon !
Really strange !
I have tried to install all the stuff manually like this, but I do not understand all !
