If Volumio UI is unresponsive as well then this probably has nothing to do with the Now Playing plugin.
So I take it that Roon is running on another device and sending an upsampled stream to Volumio? Are you sure Volumio is not resampling it again and maxing out CPU usage so that it becomes unresponsive?
you’re right it’s not the fault of “now plaing” itself. as you write, roon is on a separate pc, volumio takes a signal from roon and releases it to usb for usb. the music plays and doesn’t stutter. but the volumio as if it bypassed this signal because the progress bar or, for example, the title of the author or the song does not work. below I put the signal path from the roon! please help me 
I will add that I have a raspberry pi4 4gb ram.
this is not a Volumio issue, your Roon Bridge bypasses the Volumio UI, works as designed…
OK I understand. is there a way for volumio to somehow intercept this signal for the purpose of connecting the lcd screen and displaying the transmitted content?
Yes, there is way to show a Roon Remote Display on a Volumio install (done it as a prototype), but needs an extra/ different screen plugin, then for what purpose? You still can’t have both UI’s at the same time.
Roon Bridge was only created to let you use connected Volumio output devices as a Roon endpoint in a Roon installation, period.
I think this is going very off-topic, the community is about Volumio, not Roon.
I understand. Mainly I just wanted to focus on the volumio that allows you to come out on the screen, but to get the data from the roon. The only way it seems is airplay, but it causes a loss of quality.
I might be stupid, but still don’t get your point. You want Volumio to use Roon? Instead you should ask Roon to create simple arm/x86 clients that act as an endpoint and can also display the Roon remote display 
It may be possible with Roon Transport API, to have a plugin that listens to changes in a zone (which should be the same zone as Roon Bridge running on Volumio) and updates Volumio player state with now playing data contained in the zone information.
If I were using Roon, I would be willing to give this a shot. But I am not using Roon nor interested in doing so. Therefore unable to help you here, sorry.
I just realized that with podcasts, I have a similar problem. Indeed, the podcast is stopped and the duration does not stop (left).

Do you observe the same behavior in Volumio’s UI?
From the player state you provided, which I assume was when the podcast had stopped, the ‘status’ is still play, and the ‘seek’ / ‘duration’ are 1346104 milliseconds and 549 seconds respectively. So at this point, you will see Now Playing showing ‘22m 26s’ on the left and ‘9m 9s’ on the right. Because the ‘status’ remains at play, the time shown on the left keeps counting. Is this correct?
The player state is reported by Volumio. The Now Playing plugin does not produce this information. If the player state info is wrong, as it appears here, then you should see the same (mis)behaviour in both Now Playing and Volumio’s UI.
I think that’s exactly what it is about. I understand you’re not interested, but maybe you know someone who could do something like that (even for a fee).
Wouldn’t you be better of with Ropieee, which supports the std 7Inch LCD?
here is the information about spotifyconnect

I don’t have the same information between now playing and the volumio web interface. The web interface, everything is correct.
Patrickkfkan can the now playing plugin take a roon url for screens?
I tried to enter the given address but nothing changes. thank you
No, that’s not how the plugin works.
I’ll see if I can reproduce the problem by playing a podcast
Hello Patrick,
I am using your now playing plugin, which is such a delight. My screen is an old Apple iPad mini 2 with iPadOS 12.5.5. It works perfectly and is running constantly for more than two weeks now. There is only one little flaw. When I enable the idle screen in the settings of the now playing plugin, it just shows a white screen, when the idle screen kicks in. However on my PC with Firefox and even on my iPhone with iOS 15 it works fine. So the reason must be the deprecated HTML-Rendering-Engine of the old iOS 12. But since everything else works perfectly, is there maybe a workaround to use the idle screen with the older Safari browser? Thank you!
I wish I could help, but I don’t have an Apple device to play with, let alone one that is running a legacy browser. But even if I do, I’m not sure if it makes sense to modify the code for the sake of maintaining compatibility with old web technologies, only to sacrifice some functionality in the process…
Too bad there are no custom ROMs for Apple devices that would allow you to run a newer Webkit version. Which is one of the reasons I opt for Android.
Thank you very much for your effort, Patrick. I fully agree with you. Even without the idle screen, your plugin is great and I am happy that I still can use it with the old iPad.
