Zbee Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 While Tidal has very high-quality music files and a broad library, its UI is crap. On my music server, I run Roon as a front end to Tidal and it is very good. - Is there any way to use Roon as a front end to Tidal on my C4 system? - Is there a way to connect my music server (Salk Sounstream) to C4 and control music through it? - Is there a way to download Tidal music on C4 for times when our internet crashes?

msgreenf Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 If you have a nucleus, there is a rooned river for control. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbee Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 Thanks msgreenf, I just found this on the Roon site: The Nucleus-only restriction has been removed, this module now works with all types of Roon Cores The Control4 module has been open-sourced, you can find a link to the GitHub repository below if you wish to make additional module changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have your dealer install the drivers posted on GitHub. https://github.com/RoonLabs/control4-roon-driver You don't need a nucleus with these drivers, I run a macmini. Roon driver is now all opensource. You'll have 2 ways to control music with Roon -> either through the Roon app or through Control4 interface. The Roon driver in control4 will also show tidal. So just to be really confusing, you can also control Tidal direct through control4 or via roon through control4 or through Roon direct.....

It is pretty good, and it is certainly miles better than my alternative, which is the (crippled) Sonos driver. However, the Roon C4 interface is much more stripped down than what you are used to seeing in the Roon app. It is also buggy, and, since Roon has basically washed its hands of the driver's continued development, those bugs are likely there to stay. On the plus side though, it is free and works with any kind of Roon core, so you've got nothing to lose by giving it a shot!

JSTRONG Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 For those of you using the Roon driver on Control4, are we supposed to see album art on the touch screens? I just see the plain roon logo and no meta data I have 1 room in my home that requires Roon to control the HiFi Audio source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSTRONG Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Rs130 Rose mofi is the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topspin14m Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Rs130 Rose mofi is the source. It may be something related to the interaction with the source. I use Qobuz (and used Tidal) and got album art, but I don’t use a local source. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roon Server (latest update gets rid of "core") 2. your DAC I didn't know if the rose is the server, dac or both?? FWIW, can confirm I do get the album art if source is from Roon server or Roon playing Tidal. My DACs going to C4 are Blusound and a Hifi Berry PI Hat.
