Playback notification

[Suedkiez (Just a fellow user like you)]

I’m pretty sure this is about app notifications on Android or iOS. I very much doubt this has anything to do with Roon Radio.

There was recently a bug that made it crash on Android when app notifications were off, quickly fixed in another update:

Mobile-only Roon release 2.70-hotfix is Live!

Hey Everyone, In this follow-up release, we addressed the recent regression which caused the application to crash on Android when disallowing Roon Remote from sending notifications. You can learn more about this issue here. Along with that, we addressed a couple of other mobile-only minor issues. No Roon ARC update in this release. Thank you for your continued support. The Team at Roon Labs Build Numbers Application Build Roon Remote (iOS / Android) 2.70 (build 1673) Production …

So it shouldn’t matter anymore if they are off or on, but I’ve never seen this warning either and have no idea why it’s there.

While the bug happened, the workaround was to enable the app notifications, so maybe you want to do this. It won’t hurt:

Workaround: enable Notifications for the Roon app on Android

The crashing occurs when the Notifications permission was declined after the 2.70 update. To restore it:

1. On your Android device, open Settings → Apps.
2. Select Roon.
3. Tap Notifications and toggle Allow notifications on.
4. Fully close and reopen the Roon app.

(Alternatively, long-press the Roon icon → App info → Notifications → Allow.)
