B146 ARC Can't access my downloads

Early Access
1

Okay, so after Friday’s train debacle, I reinstalled ARC via Flight Test.

It connected immediately. I can now see my entire library, as normal.

But, all of my downloads had disappeared so I re-added a box set.

It’s there. It has a tick next to it. But when I click on it, all I get is a black screen with an alternating red & blue line at the top.

So, leaving aside the fact that I don’t see why all my downloaded content should disappear when I reinstall the app, why can’t I see the freshly added content?

Don’t know the answer as to why you can’t see your new content, but a reinstall of ARC is the same as a reset; it will delete downloaded content and start afresh with a blank slate…

Yes, I gathered that. I’m just not sure why you’d build it that way. Music on my phone are just files on my phone. Why surround them with a Roon fence? Just have them as files on my phone that can be accessed generally.

In any case, I seem to have moved on from seeing my downloaded content like this:

2023-02-19 17.45.17
2023-02-19 17.45.171125×2436 75.7 KB

Whereupon I’d click on it & get nothing but a black screen with an animated alternating red & blue line at the top, to clicking on it & seeing this:

2023-02-19 17.21.25
2023-02-19 17.21.251125×2436 244 KB

No cover images, even though they all very definitely have cover images, and an animated circle where the play icon should be, followed by:

2023-02-19 17.45.51
2023-02-19 17.45.511125×2436 200 KB

“something went wrong”

No sh*t Sherlock!

And then:

2023-02-19 17.46.07

Poor Connection.

Er… This is downloaded content on my phone. What exactly are you trying to connect to?

So, have I broken something at my end or has ARC just thrown a wobbly?

ARC working here in the Netherlands - just downloaded Bernstein’s Candide as a test, and it’s playing.

Perhaps @support should try and gather logs from your phone…?

If my previous experience here is anything to go by, I won’t be left out to dry.

And this morning, as if by magic, they downloads in question appear to be working normally.

Go figure.

You must have an electromagnetic field around you that comes and goes!
