What is Native Mode - it is an experimental function and comes with a warning
Native mode is an unofficial development. Rouen is not affiliated with Roon Labs, and native mode is not made, endorsed or supported by them.
Native mode talks to your server through its private protocol, the one your server’s own apps use, by way of Arthur Soares’ reverse-engineering project. which its makers allow for tinkering with your own system. Their CTO, Brian Luczkiewicz, on that protocol: it is “not hardened for 3rd party use”, it can change with any server update, and misuse can cause memory or compute leaks in your server.
Read Arthur’s thread on the community forum before you use it.
Use it entirely at your own risk. Rouen comes without any warranty, see the licence. If your server misbehaves, turn native mode off and restart your server. Report problems here and not on here.
Keep port 9332 on your own network, never forward it to the internet. A server update can break native mode until Rouen is updated. With native mode switched off (the switch below) only the official extension API is used.

Your library is your server’s own album list, each album with the source your server gives it: the Source counts in Focus and the source icon on album tiles, straight from your server.

Your server’s list, as Rouen read it, has 0 favourite albums for [redacted]
Whatever you do, please don’t get rid of non-native mode please! I don’t want to rely on a very very unsupported path to make a more “feature complete” version of a tool I love for its relative minimalism!
