Increase roon display text size

[Judelow]

Hi
Simple question, I use a tablet as a roon display (not remote).
I would like to increase the text size in order to read song information from anywhere in my livin room. Is it possible ? If yes how?
Thanks

For android there is no option for bigger text.
You can try going to full screen mode:

Or try triple tapping to zoom the screen? (magnifying mode on android)

You can also try changing text size for the tablet in the tablets settings menu, “settings/Accessibility”
or try one of these methods:

Honestly, I gave up on this Display view because it’s not possible to read from across the room and is a significant amount of dead space.

Instead I use the very nice Web Controller which there are now 3 different dev branches. I think I’m using the original 1.0 right now.

Roon Extension: Roon Web Controller v1.2.0

I recently found this great extension and decided to make some tweaks to it better suit my personal use, i.e. showing what’s playing on a small iPhone SE next to my hifi setup, and occasionally skip tracks or pause & play when I don’t want to reach out to the actual Roon app on my iPad. Really love the work Mike had done originally, but I thought the visual details could use a few tweaks here & there at least to my designer eyes – and the scrolling of longer texts I found to be a major visual d…

I like what @mnp75 did with the interface but I do find the Vue (2.0) code easier for my “non programmer” brain to read. Although the 1.0 interface is an absolute pleasure to read from across the room and @nmp75 looks to have updated some of scrolling text behavior.

Thanks, is there an easy set up guide somewhere?

It’s a Roon Extension… so no

Actually, the 1.0 is still available to enable from the extension manager and that’s probably the easiest way to get it going. Info on various ways to get Roon Extensions here…

Extensions. An idiots guide

Thanks. Where do you get that installer?

If you run Roon server you can run extensions on the same server. You just can’t run them on ROCK. README here:

Hi ,

I have been struggling quite a bit wih Linux commands on my raspberry pi but I managed to have v1.2 running perfectly !!

In a nutshell, what are the main advantages of v2 alpha? Despite few display features, I dont see quite a difference? Am I wrong?

Plus, do you know how to display time on the screen?

Thanks again

@Judelow

advantages of v2 alpha

It does look different and the Vue framework is more modern but other than that I don’t know.

Don’t know about displaying a clock.

@Judelow

but I managed to have v1.2 running perfectly !!

Excellent work. Your questions are good I just don’t have answers. Would ask in the other thread though as I’m sure someone has figured it out or maybe a feature request.
