Cool, thanks for confirming, Kevin!

Christiaan · September 21, 2021, 4:25pm

Ah yes, indeed, you had to go to the three dots to find the path! Thanks for the reminder:-)

I don’t get the lock screen control on wither of my iOS remotes

ogdens_sliced · September 21, 2021, 4:26pm

I’m on android.

You have notifications enabled for roon?

anon90297517 · September 21, 2021, 4:28pm

And you enabled Lock Screen Controls in Roon Settings - Setup ?

RBO · September 21, 2021, 4:29pm

That’s what I had not done. Cheerio

Christiaan · September 21, 2021, 4:38pm

It was the same for me! The instruction "go to your Settings in Roon Remote and enable ‘Lock Screen Controls’ made me think it was an iOS or iPadOS setting, which I could not find.

For anyone who is also confused: it concerns the settings inside the Roon app on the device used as remote.

Great addtition, BTW!

RBO · September 21, 2021, 4:45pm

Same. I got them confused and thought it had to be enabled in iOS I have the dumb and cannot brain.

Maybe now’s a good time to mention that the Create Playlist buttons are colored or labeled in reverse when comparing iPad to the Windows app. When deleting a playlist, the default option should probably indeed be “Cancel” but when creating a playlist, I’d expect the default option to be “Create”.

This mixup was also the case in the previous build and perhaps even from the start of 1.8.

I think it’s not being dumb but just overthinking it!

Fuster93 · September 21, 2021, 4:51pm

Yay, thank you so much Roon team for the mobile lock screen/pull down controls!

Steffen_Rothammel · September 21, 2021, 4:52pm

great! Thank you ! btw, whats about splitscreen for iPad OS ? thx

wizardofoz · September 21, 2021, 4:53pm

There is no bridge update as per the release page

Mark_McNeese · September 21, 2021, 4:54pm

What percentage of Roon users use their android or iOS as endpoints? I very rarely do but I do use my iOS device to control my endpoint. Is there a way to allow control from the lock screen this way? That would be awesome!
Thanks,
Mark M

ged_hickman1 · September 21, 2021, 5:03pm

That’s what this release does.

Saturn94 · September 21, 2021, 5:06pm

I use iOS as an endpoint on a regular basis.

wizardofoz · September 21, 2021, 5:12pm

Suggest you actually go back and read the release notes. Or reread them as the case may be.

2 posts were split to a new topic: Album versions not showing properly

QuinnT · September 21, 2021, 5:20pm

This is great! Many thanks to Roon to make it happen.
Btw, the max sample rates in DSP is still not updated for the Linn Klimax DSM/3, they are still at 192/24 and DSD 218 as the previous release.
