Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon?

· None of the above quite fits

Tell us what's going on

· Hello,

I’m setting up a dedicated Windows 11 Home media server (Intel-based mini PC) connected via HDMI to a Sony AV receiver and TV.

Software

* Roon 2.70 (Build 1671)
* Roon Server 2.70 (Build 1671)
* Windows 11 Home (fully updated)
* Firefox (also tested Chrome)

Hardware

* Mini PC connected via HDMI to Sony STR-DH790 receiver
* Receiver connected to Sony TV
* iPhone running the latest Roon Remote

What works

* Roon Server starts normally.
* Library is available.
* iPhone Remote connects normally.
* Playback works correctly.
* I created a WASAPI zone (“Living Room”) using HD Audio Driver for Display Audio (WASAPI).
* Audio plays correctly through HDMI.
* Web Display registers successfully in Settings → Displays.
* The Displays page shows:
* Firefox on Windows 10 (Web Display)
* Sony TV via Chromecast (disabled)
* Opening http://localhost:9330/display/ displays the large Roon logo.

Problem

The Web Display never changes from the Roon logo, even while music is actively playing.

More importantly, the Display controls described in the Roon documentation do not exist in my installation.

According to the documentation, there should be a Display icon or a “Display Now” / “Start on Playback” option associated with the active playback zone. I do not have those controls anywhere in the Windows application or iPhone Remote.

Because those controls are missing, I have no way to associate the registered Web Display with the active playback zone.

Troubleshooting already performed

* Restarted Roon.
* Enabled WASAPI HDMI output.
* Verified Exclusive Mode is enabled.
* Verified playback through WASAPI works.
* Verified Firefox Web Display registers correctly.
* Tested Firefox and Chrome.
* Confirmed http://localhost:9330/display/ loads successfully.
* Verified Web Display appears in Settings → Displays.
* Confirmed music is actively playing while the browser remains on the Roon logo.

Question

Is this expected behavior in Roon 2.70 (Build 1671), or is the missing Display control a known issue?

If not, how can I associate the registered Web Display with the active playback zone when the Display controls are absent?

Thank you

Once you have selected the zone to be displayed, click on the loudspeaker icon in the bottom right and you should see something like:

There you can see the little ‘display’ icon (second from left after the moon shaped sleep icon).

Clicking on this gives the list of displays that that zone can be displayed upon like:

Now click on the ‘display now’ to the right of the desired display.

Notes:

Screenshots are from an Android phone but other control devices should be similar.

I only have one display available so that is all that appears in the list.
