Then report a bug in the Support category of the forum, if this is what you seeing. My experience is that Focus is seeing Compositions on unidentified albums/boxsets.
You have beer on me.
already reported it in the beta section. Am just interested if anybody else is experiencing the same.
Sorry to hear about your issue. I did note this message on top of every page of Roon Labs forum which made it clear to me that 1.8 had to be installed on core and device. Am I missing something? Never mind, I see you wanted it also in the release notes.
Roon 1.8 is here! Remember to update your iOS and Android devices first, before you update your Core.
Youâll need 1.8 on both your Core and your Remotes, so make sure 1.8 is available in your favorite app store first!
UPDATE: You all hammered the community site so hard that we had to upgrade the servers. Things should be back to normal now. Hope you are already enjoying 1.8!

Damn⌠I performed the update and now: âThere was an issue loading your databaseâ⌠Cannot acces to Roon on my Mac and on my iPhoneâŚ
Tried to re-install /opt/RoonServer on my nuc, no succes⌠What is happening!
Did you scroll all the way to the bottom of the list (It is scrollable). There should also be a slider bar just to the right of the list, indicating itâs scrollable.

I imagine that there are new features that I may come to like, but early impressions are not favourable:
- Large serif font used all over is ugly and out of keeping with the overall look.
- Very unhappy that I can no longer favourite a track directly in the now playing view on my iPhone.
- Add to tag isnât working properly on the iPhone. I donât see previously added tags and sometimes the list of tags doesnât show at all.
- And where have bookmarks gone on the iPhone?

Well guys, I have to say, the emails leading up to 1.8 release built up the expectations. That these were met or exceeded is testament to the work that has gone into the new interface. Good work that man. Loving it
Particularly like the vertical scrolling of library AND I can now use Roon portrait or landscape. Update was a breeze on galaxy tab s7plus and s20 phone (both via play store), 432evo updated silently in the background error free as well. Big thumbs-up from me

Why show irrelevant release dates in a focus view (1920s, 1930s, etc.)? Warp Records was founded in 1989. You can filter genres, performers, composers and canât filter release years?

I also prefer the horizontal scrolling. I could peruse my albums much more quickly and easily.

A post was split to a new topic: Roon crashes when opening some playlists
Love the update. Modern interface, clearly thought through. There are some strange bits, but overall the way I use it, seems faster. I, for one, am a fan of whitespace. And purple is as good as any other distinctive color. We shall all get used to it.
My one note is that I get a lot more âspinning cursorâ - seems like querying either local USB or Tidal or something has more latency.

I can see a few more focus categories have been added. But when I try and do a focus that means something to me I cannot.
So for example. I have tagged Classical Piano as Classical/Piano. If I want to filter on solo Classical Piano then I can +focus âClassical/Pianoâ and -focus âConcertoâ and that gets me what I want.
But I cannot do it the other way round. If I do +focus âClassical/Pianoâ and +focus âConcertoâ. I get all solo piano, all piano concertos and all other concertos including violin, cello, saxophone, orchestra etc.
If I want to focus on modern choral sacred music that excludes avant-garde I have similar problems although fiddling about with my genre hierarchy might help. There is also the composition view but that is too crude and the metadata too incomplete to make those sorts of filters.
In order to overcome this I have ended up using a lot of the old green âroon tagsâ. They are still there but not green anymore. So file tags and roon tags instead of the visual clue of green and blue are now grey and grey, with the only visual clue that one uses a capitals and the other a capitalised type face.
I must say I find the use of large type faces and so many different ones and the general layout and the poor use of screen real estate in many of the screens quite bewildering. I am not seeing any new functionality. What have I missed?

If you press on âView moreâ you can select individual years

Thanks for mentioning that. This is horrible.
@support Need to be fixed.

Youâd be surprised but not everyone checks the forum first. The release notes of the IOS app are there for precisely that, itâs their entire purpose⌠would it have been so hard for Roon to mention such a critical point there? Now I am stuck with an IOS device that canât be used without forcing me to move to 1.8âŚ

A very rapidly growing thread hereâŚ
First of all, hats off to the Roon team, hard work has evidently gone into this. There will be a number of issues to sort out by the looks of it, but it worked fine for me out of the box.
Leaving aside feature requests and just commenting on a few bugs I have found so far:
- Some albums tagged as âalbumâ appear in the âsingles and EPsâ section (e.g. Pink Floyd - Meddle)
- The album version information on the album page is truncated if it doesnât fit on the screen; preferably it would appear on the next line
- Please - the ability to hide the âpopularâ section on the artist page!
- When browsing âversionsâ of an album, there appears to be more info, but the actual version is a bit hard to find and should be more highlighted
- A lot of unused space on larger screens(not really a bug, but can be improved)
- In the artist page, the âcompilationsâ heading is actually showing albums âwith various artistsâ, not compilations - compilations are appearing in the main albums section
- In the artist page, the album release date should be labelled for clarity
- When browsing album images, you can no longer scroll through them with the mouse scroll wheel (at least in Windows 10)
- Again not really a bug, but I agree that the waveform seekbar could be a little bigger (also, if it could be more detailed/higher resolution that would be excellentâŚ)
