Very nice! As a request: is it possible to get the artist, album and song information too? So I can get it displayed on my dashboard, The way displays are implemented in Roon itself are very limited.

Thanks!

Hello Bas,

I already added this info as tags. But I will look at the dashboard since I currently not use it, maybe I overlook something.

I just released a new beta, with a long requested feature: the ability to start internet radio and the artist radio. It currently only works on outputs. I plan to enable it for zones as well once it’s stable.

Best,
Merijn

Deleted my post because I was asking if I could start playlists or radio stations in the future and somehow missed the bit that it was in beta already. Thanks for making the app Merijn!

Really nice to see so many ppl are currently enjoying the app. I am gonna release 1.1.1, first in beta, containing the latest nodejs driver. The current driver is a bit outdated, but it’s great to see it just received some love from Roon Labs.

Yes, this is possible, good one. I just added the action cards for shuffling a genre, and starting a playlist. Release 1.1.2 is in beta now, once stable let’s put this one live for all users.

On search for artist and playlist, I get this error:

Am I doing something wrong, or is it a bug?

When I use the “Shuffle Genre xxx” on a specific player (I have 5) it starts playing on another :slight_smile:

Thank you for the bug reports! I need to do more work to stabilize this release because of updates to Roon Labs’ internal driver. Also the app doesn’t detect yet when the Roon Core goes offline or online yet, which is important for enabling or disabling devices, flows, and input forms to avoid errors. We currently have around 15 test users, please continue testing. It helps! Hope to give an update soon!

Merijn, does it help if we submit via the diagnostics report so you have a bit more data and context?

Yes, that surely helps, this way I get a bit more info on where code gets stuck.
