As you can see in the screenshot above the roonremote interface is missing letters. I can get rid of it once I restart the roon app on my tablet.
Any idea why this is happening or how it can be solved? you can ignore the error message below, somehow the internet connection is not stable at the moment
restarting the nexus 9 is not necessary. just restarting the roon app does suffice to fix it. also, there are no apps running in the background. at most, the chrome browser might be running when i decide to browse the web. but usually i am using the nexus 9 exclusively for roon.
the behaviour in the screenshot above only happens randomly when i turn on the nexus 9 screen for controlling roon. if it helps: i am running roonserver on my nuc
Kian, just a quick question. Are you leaving the Roon app running and turning the screen off and then when you turn the screen back on the disappearing letters occur?
Did you check to see if you had many apps running at the same time? My experience has been close apps and then restart Roon i.e. it has always seemed to be a resource issue.
Interesting, although characters shouldn’t be missing ‘just’ because of that. Normally I don’t have that many apps running. However, I’ll keep an eye open for that.
By any chance do you have your fonts set to anything other than the default setting. I’ve seen this happen when the default font size has been changed, either larger or smaller.
If the Roon app is in the background for some time, characters start disappearing. It doesn’t stop with that, as this screenshot shows. Except for more characters disappearing with time, other parts of the screen disappear or just the opposite, they stay in place, while others are placed on top of them and the whole screen is a jumble… In this case on my Pixel C…
Hi @Bluebeat —— Thank you for the report. Unfortunately, this looks like a performance issue, meaning that Roon needs a certain amount of video memory to run but for some reason your device is running low, which is causing issues as the interface is rendered.
In most cases, this means too many things are running at once, or something is using an inordinate amount of memory. Does this persist when you restart Roon? What if you quit other applications first? What about after a reboot of the device?
We’re always looking for ways to improve Roon’s performance and we may be able to make this better in the future. For now, we’ve found that in most cases these issues tend to come down to a device (usually in a temporary state) on which the required graphics memory is simply not available. Let me know how you do with the tests above and we can look into this further if you’re seeing this consistently.
