Roon Remote (Tablet) loses browse position every time the tablet powersaves or is stopped

[mike (Mike Fass)]

Hey @Alfred_Linthicum – thanks for the feedback here.

When using the Pad as my Roon controller it is Very frustrating that every time it powers down (timeout) to save power, when it comes back up it will retain the album that was currently selected and playing - but trying to go back to the higher level browsing view allways takes you back to the beginning (starting point). If you are working your way through the “album” view, this means you must rescan every time to get back into the albums you were working with

You should be able to jump around Roon’s library views using the “AlphaNav” feature in the lower-right:

The “View All” pages you see when browsing TIDAL or Search Results will reset, and that’s something we’d like to improve in the future.

I don’t have a timeline on when that might happen since it’s not quite as easy as it might seem – in some cases the app might need to be tracking the state of hundreds (or even thousands) of different views, and to do this right we’d need to make sure everything continues to perform well. There’s a Feature Request about this I encourage you to chime in on.

Request for option to remember last position on various pages

It would be really convenient if Roon had the option to remember whatever position I was at on the various pages so that when I return I am at the position I left. I have a large library and tend to jump around a lot from the various views so its a pain to have to renavigate back to my previous position. I know using the navigation arrow keys the last position is remembered but this method is not always possible if I jump to several different pages before wanting to return to the first one.

Your documentation on what is needed about updating the Remote App is really weak - when going to info on the version on the tablet, it gives no indication that there is an update needed or available and I see no way to configure this. When I go to the Change Log from the tablet there is NOTHING to indication what the current released version should be - this really should not be confusing.

On Windows, macOS, and Linux we handle updates and they should require a single click on the “Update All” popup. On Android and iOS, updates are handled via the respective app stores, so you’ll need to visit the store to get the latest version of Roon.

The change log link should send you to the release notes section of this site, with the latest release notes pinned to the top – are you seeing otherwise?
