Onkyo receiver info shows "UNKNOWN" for the input — volume and mode are fine

In short

A cosmetic gap, not a control problem: certain input selector codes — notably the TV/eARC input on newer Onkyo, Integra, and Pioneer models — were missing from the label table, so the info line renders UNKNOWN while volume and listening mode display correctly. The label is added in an upcoming update; control is unaffected in the meantime.

What's happening

The receiver reports its active input as a numeric code, and Roomie translates codes to names. The code these receivers use for the TV (ARC/eARC) input wasn't in the translation table, so the info line falls back to UNKNOWN — for that input only. Switching inputs, volume, and everything else keeps working normally.

When it's fixed

The missing labels are added in an upcoming update. If you see UNKNOWN for other inputs on a current build, contact support with the receiver model and which input you'd selected — the report is genuinely useful, since each label maps to a specific code we can add.
