RoonOS 3.0 HDMI Display not showing track details

Roon Software Discussion
1

I have my RoonOS 3.0 installed and connected to a HDMI monitor.

On initial startup the display shows the Roon logo:

So, something is being sent to the display (via the OS?).

However, playing a track there are no track image, lyrics, etc as per the release notes. Display remains as above.

I believe I have it configured correctly:

So I guess the Roon server is not talking to the display.

RoonOS is running on a GEEKOM A5 Mini PC,(AMD Ryzen 7 7730U,16GB RAM(up to 64GB),512GB SSD), however, everything else Roon wise is working as it should.

Any thoughts, thank you.

Have you attached the display to the Zone that is playing? First click on the Zone’s speaker icon to bring up the Zone settings, then click on the Display icon to attach the display to the Zone.

There is likely no matching graphics driver included in Roon OS.
Note: Roon OS / ROCK is designed to work with a limited selection of hardware (Intel chips based NUCs).

I guess that might be the case, however, forever hopefull :).

yes, see screen shots.

I’ve used several non NUC setups with Intel chipsets and and so far no issues…in audio devices it shows up as a tv on the hdmi ports showing on the core

Yeah but this one is an AMD

I have a Geekom with an AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS a Radeon 5600 and 32Gb of RAM and the browser window works. This is the desktop I run Roon on. I don’t use ROCK, the RoonServer is on another machine. I manage the RoonServer with a NoMachine remote Desktop.

So this may or may not be helpful.

Once you’ve got the URL and pasted it into the bar (I use Waterfox, which is Firefox), go to the Roon app and click the symbol for the sound of the zone, probably just a speaker but if your zone is Ropiee or similar the icon will vary. So long as the Roon splash screen is on the browser the monitor symbol should be on the popup. Select that and it should identify the monitor (in my case Firefox Windows 10 - though it’s 11), enable the display and the browser window will show the Roon Album and Track.

Yes, but this is through the browser, which is separated from the graphics hardware by several abstraction layers.

The question in this thread was about the HDMI output of the new RoonOS 3.0 on Nucleus and ROCK, which is a very different situation

10

I got that when I re-read it, which was why I edited it. It likely is going to be drivers.

11

It would seem there are multiple support threads raised by others on this issue, so I guess an update maybe forthcoming.

Either way it’s not a deal breaker rather a nice to have that I can live without.

Thanks for all your responses

regards

Can you try restarting your Roon Server on your ROCK/NUC? I recall that this was necessary when RoonOS 3.0 was in Early Access to get the display function working…

Hi Geoff, yes tried that multiple times, no luck.

Hi, yes confirmed web interface works OK.
