If you can only connect with an iOS device then, as Chris has said above, do not update the core until the iOS update from the Apple APP Store becomes available. Link to comment

Foggie Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Cool, looks to be pretty significant and looking forward to it! I'll give it a few days before I update/have time. I'm sure this will create a major sophomoric bitch session though 🙄 Curious if this will entail a "deep re scan" of ones database? AudioDoctor 1 My rig Link to comment

Personally I’m waiting for the 3D Holographic Emitters so I can literally put Diana Krall in my room.,. Nothing! It's perfect! It still works with JRiver for managing playlists and syncing them to mobile devices! The goofy patch to the 1.6 now playing display disaster still works just like before! Artist photos show cutoff heads just like before! It still doesn't adapt to monitor resolution! It still does horizontal scrolling! It still doesn't show bit depth/sampling rate on the now playing display on Windows control clients! It still uses antiquated serif fonts on the artist/album displays! Everything is bold! Don't know about the Android app because it doesn't work any more, but I'm sure it's awesome! Overall an awesome release! Well worth the wait for all the awesome new features! ds58 and sfseay 1 1 Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Are you using a user created extension to interface with Jriver? Why would you, I don't see the point? No electron left behind. Link to comment

Why would you, I don't see the point? No, I was being facetious. I still have to use JRiver to manage playlists and sync them to mobile devices. One of if not the only reasons I still keep JRiver around. Was hoping the new roon release would have something anything to help with this. This release looks like a rush job to appease users wondering what's going on. I'm wondering if it will do more harm than good. Link to comment

mourip Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Does anyone know if there is a 1.7 update to Roon Bridge for Linux? "Don't Believe Everything You Think" System Link to comment
One and a half Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 A real peeve was the sloppy handling of box sets which could contain a collection of existing albums with differing names to the title of the box set. This is now addressed, although 200 tracks might be light for popular music, such as complete works of Frank Sinatra.... "Album Screen Improvements This release also includes 2 changes on the album screen. First, multi-disc sets up to 200 tracks will now get a new All Tracks tab. This view will allow you to view the entire album in a single list, which should ensure better presentation of multi-part works that span multiple discs." The Tags are improved, Roon quote an example of titles from HDtracks as a source, all purchased from HDtracks, so these can be searched, it's handy for me as sources are from all over the place, if it's a ripped CD, the original must be (somewhere) in the house. As for Valance, wait and see. The stream to your device anywhere from home is not going to happen with Roon. The downloading of all this data is not going over the 5G/4G anytime soon, for that Jriver works reasonably well. I hope that progress bar can be moved up and the time counter can display time remaining. The internet Radio looks a lot better on screen with the genres, may actually try to use it this time around.

rickca Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 The streaming optimizations which reduce disk activity, CPU usage, and memory traffic looks interesting. Although Roon makes no claims about better sound quality for this feature, it should help. Actually, I don't see a single line item that talks about sound quality.
