Hi everyone!
Maintenance releases of Roon, Roon Server, and Roon Bridge have gone live, with a number of bug fixes and improvements.
We’ve been hard at work certifying a new crop of Roon Ready devices. As of Build 154, six new products are now certified Roon Ready, including Musica Pristina’s Virtuouso DAC, Bryston’s BDP-Pi. SOtM’s sMS-200, and HiFiBerry’s DAC+, AMP+, and Digi+.
Elsewhere in this release, we’ve resolved a number of long-standing issues. A crossfading bug reported by a member last week led us to discover an issue related to analysis of files with sample rates that are multiples of 48k. This is now resolved, ensuring file analysis and crossfading works as designed for this content.
Another long standing issue relates to endless “Identifying” spinners after an import – we’ve been hearing about this issue for a while, but we were finally able to pinpoint the cause and resolve the issue for this release.
Another member’s report helped us identify conditions under which dropouts can occur when content is stored on a NAS. While the initial report focused on gapless playback, our investigation revealed a deeper issue related to network latency. The fix should make dropouts even less likely in setups where network storage is involved.
A few bugs related to playback behavior were also resolved, including ensuring that Play From Here respects banned tracks, and resolving a recent regression related to “Play From Here” behavior on playlists. Other bug fixes detailed below involve Focus, Export, selection states, Version extraction, editing, and more.
This release also includes some improvements to Roon’s diagnostic and usage reporting. The diagnostic changes help our support team resolve issues more effectively, while usage data will drive “big data” style improvements to Roon’s Radio and Discover features in the future. Accordingly, we’ve reviewed and updated Roon’s privacy policy to ensure that it accurately describes how data is managed during support incidents and during your usage of Roon.
Finally, a few pieces of new functionality are implemented in this release. The play count display on Album Details has been redesigned, and will now track play counts for TIDAL albums in Roon even if they’re not in your library. On the file info popup, we’ve also added the ability to copy paths to the clipboard, so it’s easy to navigate to the file’s location when you have access to the same storage device as your Core.
That should do it for this release. Thanks everyone!
The Team at Roon Labs
