I´m using a MacBook Air as an endpoint. It plays nicely and goes to sleep after 1 minute to save battery. It keeps playing until I change songs, then I have to wake the MacBook for it to play.
Going to sleep is generally a good thing as it saves battery and keeps the MacBook running as little as possible.
Hi @Ingemar_Hansson ---- Thank you for the report and sharing your feedback with us, very appreciated!
May I very kindly ask you to please share screenshots (“Battery” and “Power Adapter”) of the “energy saver” settings being applied to the MacBook Air acting as your RoonBrridge?
Sadly it´s in Swedish but it corresponds to the English version. I run the MacBook on battery only, it sound better. For now i run the energy saver all the way to the right at “never” and use the sreen saver intstead. It works that way and I don´t have to wake the Mac when i change songs.
It would be nice though, to be able to let the Mac go to sleep and have roon work anyway. I don´t know if thats possible right now but it would make a pleasant audiophile feature…
Hi @Ingemar_Hansson ---- Thank you for getting in touch and providing the requested screenshot, both are very appreciated!
I am pleased to hear that the mentioned adjustment(s) to the “energy saver” has yielded the result you wanted Currently, the endpoint must be active in order for Roon to be able to communicate with it which is why the mentioned MacBook must stay awake. While I cannot make any commitments that this will ever change in the future you are always welcome to voice your opinion/idea in the feature request section of the community site as this is regularly monitored by our produce manager Mike and the DEV team.
