Roon - Black strips on PC and iPad - When pressing a new album

[Torben_Rick (Torben - A Dane living in Hamburg - Roon Lifer)]

After the latest update I have noticed some black strips that shows up when pressing a new album. Looks like this:

Only happens the first second after pressing a new album. Happens on iPad 11 and PC (Windows 11)

Never had that before

It seems to me to be simply waiting for text to be fetched from your chosen online source. Once the text (or none) is located the bars are replaced with the text or removed.

@Geoff_Coupe - You are probably right - but I never had it before.

You never had the choice to choose between Tivo or Wikipedia sources before either.

Others from the Roon team may chip in, but the loading performance is all down to server-side caching. With a relatively small number of users at the moment and, I’m guessing, occasional cache clearouts, it’s going to be luck of the draw as to whether you hit something that has been cached or you hit something which hasn’t and therefore needs to be retrieved and processed. We’re well aware of the performance/latency requirements here.

It was improved after earlyaccess feedback but not yet fully gone. It may get better when Roon users have started to populate the server-side caches with fetched content
