Hello Everyone,
This release contains another round of improvements to CarPlay functionality. We have worked to address most of the main issues you’ve reported, including fixes for loading, error handling, and expanding the number of items allowed in lists (which means you should now see a much larger chunk of your library). When testing, let us know if you are having any issues with loading, and please let us know what build you are on for Carplay as well as what your mobile connection was like at the time of the incident.
Thank you all for taking the time to assist with this testing. Your feedback has been essential to our rapid iteration. Hope you are staying warm and safe and preparing for a pleasant holiday season, wherever you may be.
Thank you for your continued support,
The Team at Roon Labs

- Increased number of items that be displayed within the CarPlay app
- Updated Home, Library and Shuffle icons to match ARC icons
- Resume playback when CarPlay is connected, if there’s a current track in ARC’s play queue (I saw this feedback in the community and this is what Spotify does)
