PgUp / PgDown button works for faster vertical scrolling.

Aha success! If anyone else has the issue where the View More option doesn’t show on release date…make sure your library stretches over at least 6 or 7 decades

@Neill_Strickland Dark mode is in settings, general, theme

[Saturn94]

Very odd. Perhaps try rebooting your Core and iPad?

EDIT: Oops, slow typer. Glad you got it resolved.

There’s stuff I JUST DON’T GET. See picture below: names of the artists appears twice, second line being smaller. The first line is just text, the second one is clickable. Why does it appear twice? Why is only the second one clickable? Heck, why is it the smallest, more difficult to aim for, of the two that has the link? Is there really someone, somewhere, who thought any of this was a good idea?

[QuinnT (BANNED)]

I think it is just a display bug, no big deal.
I would not make a big thing out of it, sooner or later someone will fix it.

[Phil_Knowles]

Thanks @Jim_F
That makes no sense from what I can see on my setup… looks nothing like your image. I have a Nucleus and streams the display via Chromecast. I have an old style bland image.

Huh, seems you’re right, I don’t see this issue on other pages. Sorry, I guess I’m getting a bit angry with all the stuff I dislike with 1.8, this one was uncalled for.

@Placebophile

As it stands now I have to click Home, scroll down, wait anywhere from 20 seconds to several minutes …

Seriously? If that’s your experience, I wouldn’t be happy either, but that’s not the experience I have with a minimum spec NUC. Scrolling is smooth, responsive and images populate quickly. It takes literally a second to scroll down the home page, click on Discover and see the new page populated.

Maybe you have an underpowered core, some sort of misconfiguation or a network problem? Post to Support for some assistance.

@QuinnT

Only moaning, and no specific, useful comments?

mm hmm.

Not a fan of pithy Churchill quotes, I see.

Anyhoo…

They killed Kenny. Some initial impressions: Still no love for the red-headed step child of Roon - History. Focus and filter nearly everywhere has been one of the major features touted for the release, but it’s missing from arguably one of the most useful places for it. There’s no configurable columns either. The only new thing about history is load times are quicker. So now it’s useless, faster. And the row widths are higher so there’s even less info shown. Why not implement the same s…

Agreed. See above “workaround”.

People were crying out for consistency across the experience. An important distinction.

Is there a way to remove or collapse this section from the artist overview as there was in 1.7? [image]

Roon 1.8 (Build 748/756/763/764) Feedback

Sorry I wasn’t very clear. Enter the tag view for the album, right click the album to select it, then in the ellipsis menu the option appears to remove from tag. A picture paints a thousand words… [image]

If you click the Tags view under “My Stuff” in the main menu, then drill into a Tag to view the albums underneath it, do you not get the option after you highlighted the album(s) with a right-click?

Roon 1.8 (Build 748/756/763/764) Feedback

Not sure if this is a 1.8 bug/feature/quirk, but Roon Radio always seems to go for a streamed version of a track (that’s not a library version) even when that track is in my local library at the exact same file resolution. Not a huge deal, but it means my track stats and play counts aren’t updated. I don’t want to restrict to local only. The mixture I had in 1.7 was good.

[Jim_F]

Must be a restriction of Chromecast.

@Terry_Martin

2: There is no alphabetical target point (I don’t know what to call it), where you could click on and quickly go to a point in the alphabetical order of the albums.

It’s there … just grab the scrollbar and the letter or year is displayed so you can move quickly to a specific point.

[Damian_Kurgan]

I have same issue with Nucleus+
For the artist page it is a minute for discography 30s or error “not found”

[Patrick_Conroy (Pat)]

Help! After seeming to work well for about a day I got Roon to hang (app marbled, title bar shows ‘Not Responding’) on Windows by clicking on a link to an artist, so I killed the app and now when I start it it loads saying ‘Loading artist…’ and then hangs. Is there a ‘safe mode’ that I can get it to forget where it was when it starts? I captured a dump file the first time it hung and can make that available if it would be useful.

[Alfred_Linthicum]

No playlist info at the track level? - you just distroyed much of Roon’s usefulness. I want to play music I have selected, not have to wade through a bunch of stuff just to pay a track

[Martin_Webster]

To be fair, you still wouldn’t have a review or any more information displayed for that album with 1.7.

Do you have any albums (release date) from the 1960s or earlier?

[Lukas (Lukas Lösche)]

I feel like the database is missing an index or something. Whenever I filter My Artists with a tag that only shows 42 out of 607 artists it takes forever to load. On the order of 2-3 minutes.

Whereas if I use the same tag to filter the My Album view it shows 1527 of 3158 albums almost instantly.

[Phil_Knowles]

Why would you think I said you were lying? I said it makes no sense with what I am seeing…
Yes…Chromecast could be the issue.
