I know , I am often mid track on headphones when wifey wishes to pronounce then you can’t turn it off
ALAS if that’s the only thing wrong with Roon I think I’ll manage 
Strange, as that‘s not what I experience on my iPad Air with iPadOS17.3.
Maybe you‘ve got the low power mode activated?

Latest iPadOS for me is 17.2 or are you running betas? I can see 17.3 is I choose public betas.
I did check power mode and it’s normal not low power
Is your iPad Air an M1 CPU version?
Yes Sir

I am on iOS 17.1.2 (just updating to 17.2) on a iPad pro 12.9 4th Generation.
I don’t see it all the time but enough to niggle and comment upon.

It doesn’t happen to me all the time either, just often enough and very regularly. I’m trying to remember what I do on the iPad to try and identify any factors. So far it seems to me it depends how long I leave the Roon app to do other things. It doesn’t seem to matter if I leave the app when music is playing or if I leave the app with a track paused.
It’s more an issue on iPhone they have less memory than any iPad. Happens regularly on iPhone 13 same as many others.

It did not in my case. This is a case of iOS devices likely older ones getting cobbled by the latest operating system using more resources and Roon is a hungry beast. Not heard of users having this issue with later iPhones but I may just have missed them. But other apps seem to disconnect gracefully and restart and reconnect as they are supposed to on iOS. Roon is the exception here and doesn’t seem to realise and doesn’t properly restart or reconnect as you get catchef pages loading but not new ones and no play controls work although they show they do.
Using Mac laptop as Roon server with NOTHING else on that machine. Controlling from iPad remote app.
About 15 minutes into the listening session the search function on the app doesn’t work. But playlists do for a while then nothing works.
Luckily the music is still controlled by the Mac. So I just delete the Roon app from the iPad. Reload. Identify my user ID and password, etc, etc, etc. And I am back with rarely a note missed.
Yes a pain but…
I noticed last night that the app doesn’t actually appear entirely unresponsive. After listening for quite a while I went to stop playback and it was frozen. I thought I’d try some other things to bring the app back to life so I tried selecting a track to play, so music is playing and I went to play a track that was displayed on the screen. When I selected the track the context menu comes up but when I went to press the play on that track it didn’t work. The app doesn’t seem to be in sleep mode by way of iOS otherwise I expect that context menu wouldn’t come up.
Is this getting worse ? I have been listening all afternoon and as soon as Roon Remote loses focus it’s hanging every time , then it need a restart - irritating
This is a change
Latest build iOS 17.2 iPad Pro 12.9
Yep it seems to be getting worse. There is something going on with its interaction with iOS. How they have not managed to replicatethis is beyond me.

I think they’d replicate this if they were active users of an iPad or iPhone but perhaps they aren’t. I spent last night reading on my iPad and I just left Roon in radio mode rather than actively selecting music after a couple of hours I switched to the Roon app and it woke up just fine. It did that silly thing it does and scrolled through a bunch of sings it played to get to where the server was at but other than that it all worked just fine. I still haven’t identified what the actions I take that might create the circumstance where it fails. Usually I switch between reading browsing web and other apps.
I’m also wondering if it’s the server client combination, I run MacOS Server.
Further to my last post. I left the app open over night with the iPad unused. I decided to try it just now. The app allowed me to select a new end point, since my main system is shut down, then I pressed play and nothing happened. I then went to try playing a track and it came back with “loading artist” and never returns. I’m wondering if it creates a session with the service that just died over time and the app never tries to create a new session, it just seems to wait indefinitely for the server to respond?
I might try creating a windows Roon server and see if the problem goes away.
I restated the app and it all worked perfectly
It’s not operating system related it’s happened to users on all types of cores, don’t waste your time. I use Rock and it still happens others on windows or Mac.
OK, thanks for that, I won’t bother with a windows core.
I also eliminated my sessions theory, I rebooted my Mac Mini with the app connected to the core and the app didn’t even notice, just continued on when the server and core were back online.
@Ralf_Ortmanns would you mind adding your voice to this thread that Roon are investigating this behaviour the more we can show it’s not isolated as they think the better.
I’ll post anything new in that thread, I didn’t know it existed.
