B149 Music plays but ARC UI stops responding

Early Access

Hey @Early_Access

Since the most recent update, to ARC v1.0.9 B149, I have noticed this behaviour a few times. Most recently yesterday on my usual walk (where ARC has worked perfectly in previous builds).

I select a playlist or album to play and set off on my walk. The music plays as expected for about 50 minutes or so but whenever I open the app on my phone I find that browsing around the ARC UI is not possible, even during normal playback.

Yesterday I saw this happen and captured a few screen shots;

and subsequently (again music still playing);

Eventually I decided to kill the app, which obviously stopped playback and then when I relaunched it I got this;

When I was finally able to get the app relaunched it then went on to work properly again.

Well for what it is worth I have left early access, I couldn’t live with the inconsistency. Let’s see if Production is more stable.

Thanks for reporting and I am sorry for the frustrating experience. Let me flag this in today’s meeting

Thanks for the reply @michael. I am pleased to report that I was out all day yesterday using ARC from the production channel and I didnt have a repeat experience of the above. ARC was very stable.
