Brian,
This has nothing to do with this specific problem but I thought I just write it here instead of starting a new thread.
With RoonServer and HQ Player on my server controlled via iPad: When listening to music and opening the iPad’s bottom menu e.g. for reducing brightness of the iPad, the music stopps for 5 sec and then starts playing again.
Is this a known bug or maybe just me?
Can’t say if this is Roon-HQP-related since I have a DSD only DAC and therefor can’t try Roon on it’s own.
I haven’t heard of this happening, and to be honest, the symptom doesn’t make sense to me–the iPad isn’t even tangentially involved in the playback chain. It’s just a remote.
I moved this out of the other thread because as you noted, it’s a different problem.
I have noticed a remote behavior that I was ignoring until I saw your response to this thread. I have roon server running and a number of times I have left roon playing on roon radio and it goes on for hours without issue. But when I bring up the ipad app, a few songs later (when the app is running), roon suddenly stops playing. From that point pausing, or attempting to start the song has no effect, it is only when I forcibly close the ipad app and restart it that the song can be started again. This has happened at least two times in the last week.
I bring it up here because of your statement that the remote has no effect on the playback chain.
@mike, @vova, I know this is going to be an annoying one to test, but we need to run it down. Lets get it reproduced in-house, then we can discuss what might be going on.
After reading this, I tried to reproduce what Joe experienced and can confirm that this happens also with my installation, at least in part.
When I close the app and reopen it, some tracks later the bar freezes.
Then when I try to restart the track, HQPlayer shuts itself down completely.
FYI I have roon and HQ on the same machine and with windows OS.
Hey guys, I think I missed the notification here – we can try testing this.
@Christoph_Zander@JBNY - can you guys give me a run down on your system, audio devices/outputs, and storage devices? We’ll try to match your setup as close as we can, and go from there.
@mike
