Description of Issue
Hi,

The problem is in the albums arts, but only in the Remote LG smartphone. I don’t have issues on the PC or on the Amazon Fire HD8, I also use both as Roon Remote.

In the LG smartphone the album arts don’t appear in the Roon Remote. I can do the trick to clean the image cache in the configuration, this solves the problem momentarily. Then for some reason all arts including Tidal arts disappear. I have tried reinstalling the Roon Remote, restarting the phone but nothing solves the problem. I also made a new installation of Roon Core and Bridge and restore the database Roon, but the problem persist.

Here are some screenshots of the last time with this issue on LG smartphone.

Hello @Eduardo_Valdivia_Esp,

Thanks so much for sharing the comprehensive description of the issue you’re experiencing. We’re sorry… :pleading_face:

Could you please navigate to your phone’s Settings and check how much space you have available. Could you please send us a screenshot of the Roon App in Settings → Roon?

Hi @beka,

Thanks for your reply.

Today I have another issue. I renewed my Qobuz subscription. I had the account disabled for a few months. I’ve logged into Qobuz from Roon, I can see the albums but I can’t play any. Minutes go by and it’s like Roon wants to connect but nothing happens. I have tested the Qobuz account with the smartphone app and from the PC and both play normally.

Days passed and I didn’t receive a response from Roon’s technical support. I did my own research and found the root of the problem. In the router I had the IPV6 option activated, I deactivated this feature and both problems were solved. Now I can see albums arts on my smartphone and Roon can play music from Qobuz.

I hope that my experience can help anyone who has a similar problem.
