Oh, c’mon @danny… Splitting hairs? The Art Director web page use case is what I’m referring to. Maybe “asking” was the wrong word. I didn’t mean that it was a term of my Roon usage. Epic fanboy here, fwiw.
That was unclear to me. Sorry.
I actually agree. I simply misunderstood that I was improving already approved image choices, not agreeing that it was the right artist for the image.
I have seen icons and banners for some artists change multiple times since installing build 880. How regularly are artist appearances in my library going to change?
I guess that bigger artists are going to see more edits but I hope my Interpol and Iron Maiden etc. aren’t going to be changing appearance every few hours.
Interpol in particular are quite funny because the Carlos D, the former bassist, has gone from clean shaven to moustache to not present at all and is now back to present with a moustache.
A few random questions here. I covered most of the forum landscape looking for answers, but forgive me if I missed one or two.
What is the case for everyone having the identical set of pictures? Can I put a picture up without it being voted upon? Say, a backstage pic of me and some artist?
I just uploaded pics where none existed before. By definition, these are new. But Roon does not release them for me to show. So how long must I wait before a vote is considered finished?
How many Roonies voting does it take to constitute a valid vote? I upload pics of the second violas of some secure orchestra.
It seems that, with 200K+ users, some pictures will be uploaded, voted upon, and replaced with regularity. For those Luddites who want to get off of this improvement train, is there a way to opt out of the process? Namely, can one say “thanks, I’m happy with my art?”
I think Art Director is a great concept and agree crowd sourcing is an excellent solution for those who want to add a visual dimension to the Roon experience.
Hopefully, there will be many photos/graphics from which to choose - hi-rez should be a priority, but many historical photos are low-rez and should remain available.
Also, since this will encourage more Roon users to create rotating artist galleries, a variety of photo styles and visual perspectives to choose from will be helpful - not just photos centered in the banner display, or tight head and shoulders, for example.
I hope you will also detail exactly how to use Art Director. If I have created my own artwork, but need to use AD to to better center the avatar, how does that happen? And should AD be used before or after editing the new photo into Roon?
Finally, the artist galleries I’ve created before/after the 880/882 upgrades have not worked in Chromecast—- although the rest of the display casts as it should. I’ve opened this, along with others users, as a separate topic but am awaiting help.
I’m having a lot of fun with this feature. I’m primarily looking to populate some empty profiles for less prominent artists so I’m going a little slower than I’d like, simply because I’m trying to get formal permission for use of the images I’m planning to upload.
I am currently contacting the Benelux booking agency for an artist that hasn’t released music in over a decade.
