Roon 1.8 (Build 831) Feedback

Saturn94 · September 21, 2021, 5:20pm

I just noticed with Lock Screen Controls enabled on my iPad, Roon now persists in the background so that when switching to another app then back to Roon, Roon comes right up without having to reconnect.

This is brilliant
Very impatient to see the lock screen
Hope unexpected volume changes will not be an issue

All nice but still no support for iPad magic keaybord (scrolling) and do I guess no option to crate playlist from Roon that would show Up in TIDAL.

It is working with my Watch, WOUHOUHOUHOUH!!

But you can’t access to the queue, maybe next release?

I have a bug also not sure I’m the only one. I need to press Next at the end of a song it doesn’t go to the next one automatically

The download server must have truly went AWOL? I have never seen such a slow DL speed on my ROCK… After 35 minutes I restarted the server, as it seems to be at high risk of being corrupted…

Internet access confirmed @100mbps both up and down and a response time of ca 10ms…

We recommend setting volume limits for any audio devices you don’t want to get too loud – the lock screen controls will respect the limits you set.

Also if you are done and want no accidental issues at a later time suggest you kill the Roon app then it’s no longer active when needing to make other volume related on the phone/ipad or even watch

Read the release notes on how to achieve playlist to Tidal, you need soundiiz sub but they have made it easier to achieve and you get a discount with Roon code.

I noticed this too and thought it was “glitch”

Edit Nah, never mind. It’s back to normal now

Thanks
Do I have to limit the global volume of the device which can be inconvenient if I sometimes use it louder than the wanted limit or because the volume cursor in Roon will be too much at the right?

Or will the lock screen volume respect the comfort limit in Roon as well which can be very convenient in my case?

Peter_Leinslie · September 21, 2021, 6:02pm

It’s the same as before. No changes.

New improvements include: a new “Date Modified” sort feature for your playlists

While this is great, I wish you could actually do this inside a playlist on a mobile phone. I’m rather disappointed that you still can’t do any sorting at all inside a playlist on a phone.

A big thank you to ROON and all the hard work put in by the team.
The latest build has rectified a problem I had with displaying artist pictures, bio etc from the playing screen.

Well done and thank you
Gareth

I agree with that! I miss this possibility since the first day.

MamaTried · September 21, 2021, 6:15pm

I had no idea there was an update until I read this thread.
Everything updated easily once told to.

mikeb · September 21, 2021, 6:16pm

Nice update, thank you Roon team!

AllenB · September 21, 2021, 6:22pm

I think ‘the much-requested gesture support for navigation’ was for iPad OS rather than iOS, so on this count, this update is disappointing. When will keyboards and trackpads (I.e. Magic Keyboard) be supported on Roon with iPadOS?

mike · September 21, 2021, 6:23pm

Yup, exactly.

If you set a comfort limit, you can still open the Roon app and use or buttons to adjust the volume above your comfort limit.

But your lock screen controls will respect the comfort limit – when the volume slide on your device’s lock screen is at 100%, you’ll be right at your comfort limit.
