Roon 1.8 (Build 943) Feedback

[PixelPopper]

That’s certainly my experience (& recollection)

After updating my iMac and iPad to 943, Roon stopped working when the iMac goes to sleep. It shows “no audio devices found” and then loses connection altogether. As soon as you manually wake up the iMac, Roon works again. This is very frustrating, using Roon remote always woke up the iMac and it worked flawlessly until this update.

Maybe Roon has fixed something. My Dell XPS 15 control device has not locked up today. Fingers crossed.

EDIT: Nope, still happens.

I am having a similar problem
Every few minutes the system locks up

Clearly, there is a programming bug when they added Magic Keyboard support.
Now, if I’m typing something in the Search function and I hit the Space Bar key to continue typing my search term, Roon iPadOS app would not realize that the Space Bar tap is part of the Search term entry, and not part of my desire to pause the music. Of course, if my search term has multiple words with multiple spaces, the music starts and stops each time I hit the Space Bar key.
If I remove the iPad from the Magic Keyboard and type in the Search function, taping the Space key on the iPad touchscreen keyboard would not pause the music.

If you go back to the focussed album page using the navigation arrows the focus will stick, but it’s removed if you select Albums from the hamburger menu. I’m fairly sure this hasn’t changed, but may well be misremembering.

@Suedkiez

Right now I have a bookmarked focus on a bunch of artists and that’s all I am interested in for now, so a sticky bookmark whenever I go to albums would be more convenient. Instead of having to choose the bookmark every time. I don’t remember thinking this until recently, but now i do, hence asking myself if it changed

At first in build 952, the non-sticky behavior had continued.

Then, at some point, the bookmark stuck again in recent days when I did that, i.e. I go from a bookmarked focus on albums to Hamburger > Albums (or somewhere else and then Hamburger > Albums), and the bookmark is still there. And was not sure I liked it anymore because how to get rid of the bookmark?

Then, suddenly 15 minutes or so after posting the above, the stickiness stopped again after a restart of the remote. However, I restart the remote frequently and previously the sticky behavior had survived

The occasional stickiness seems like a bug then

Yep, if the behaviour is intermittent, this sounds like a bug.
