I have just started my two week trial of Roon and woud love to love it but am fhaving some problems. The first problem I discovered is that the Linn IR remote does not work properly. I have seen in other threads that the skip functions are not implemented but I am also having problems with pause. When pressing pause on the Linn remote roon skips to the next track. there appears to be no way of pausing or stopping playback using the Linn IR remote.
Can I please ask that you reproduce this issue by pressing the IR remote and let me know the exact local time + date + track you tried to pause? E.g. 1:32PM on 4/22/20 tried to pause Dark Side Of The Moon
Same problem here, Linn Klimax DSM, 7:19PM PDT on 4/22/20, track playing was “Tadd’s Delight” in Joe Lovano’s “52th Street Themes.” I normally don’t use the IR controller for anything but volume changes, but I tried this when I read the bug report by @Phill_Piatkus.
At 10:17 am 23?04/2020 UK, I tried to pause Tanita Tikaram – Preyed Upon by pressing pause on the Linn IR remote, but instead of pausing it skipped to the next track Isobel Anderson - Gentleman. Unlike @Fernando_Pereira I do use the Linn remote for many functions and it would be a big disadvantage if I could not use play and pause on the remote.
Thank you for letting me know those timestamps. I have activated diagnostics mode for your Cores and what this action does is automatically upload a log set to our servers for analysis. Once these logs are received, I will request the technical team review them. I appreciate your patience until this request reaches the top of their queue!
@noris I have moved my core to another machine so I don’t know if this will make any difference to your monitoring. Just in case I have created another time stamp. at 9:38:30 UK time playing John Grant - Marz I pressed pause on the IR remote and it skipped to John Grant - Where Dreams Go to Die.
Thanks for the reminder on this! I’m not seeing any updates to your case at this time, but let me reach out to our hardware team to check your case status, I’ll let you know what they say, thanks!
I spoke to our hardware team and they have re-confirmed that are trying to reproduce this behavior in the lab. Once I have further information from them, I’ll let you know!
The problem seems to have got worse some time in the last year. In the past pressing pause would skip to the next track while pressing next or previous track would do nothing. Well someone has ‘fixed’ the pause issue without fixing anything else. Now I can’t use pause to skip or to pause. I can’t use skip to skip either. I am worse off.
I spoke to the team regarding this issue. There are no specific updates that we can share at this time, but we are still looking into this with Linn’s assistance.
