Be careful until the remote apps are available. I just updated and can’t connect.

Does anyone know if there is a 1.7 update to Roon Bridge for Linux?

 

There is not.

Warning to Qobuz users: roon 1.7 won't play hi-res files from qobuz...

Ouch.

Qobuz high resolution works for me.

This change really bugs me. Why did Roon disable track numbers by default? We've only been identifying tracks by their numbers for decades and now everyone has been pushed to not do this? I love the option to enable/disable but this seems like a "we know more than the customer" type of move. Sure track numbers aren't needed, but this whole hobby really isn't needed.

I suspect the default option for any new settings that are introduced is "No". In this case it moved your cheese, but as you say, it's easily rectified. Personally, I prefer my music without track numbers. Everybody's different.

I hear you for sure but the default should’ve been “no change” rather than “no” in my book. 
 

Guess that’s why I’m not involved with software development 😁

Anyone having trouble with tracks skipping (track starts and plays for a bit, then skip to next) (happened with both Tidal and Qobuz)?  I've had it happen several times in the last 15 min.  Internet is working fine.

Yes.

I must say that version 1.7 is much slower when navigating via the iOS app.

I thought that was my phone. Thank you.

Via my iPhone 11 Pro 512 it's even slower. My iPad Pro is just slow :~)

Chris, it seems to be a bit zippier now.  Does it appear so on your end after the update?

No. I even rebooted the core and iOS devices :~(

Is anyone having issues with Roon Remote connecting?

 

My Roon Server is on a Mac mini running MacOS Mojave, Roon 1.7 (latest build), and a beta of iOS 13.4 on my iPhone which I am running Roon remote on.

Beta = problematic

That could pose a problem :~)
