CarPlay with Roon arc not showing all albums by artist

[connor]

Hi @maximasr,

Thank you for your post. There are sorting limitations to the user interface for Album list view, as other users have posted, with Apple’s integration. There’s a resulting sorting order mismatch between Roon Remote and Roon ARC on many CarPlay head unit displays. If you try adjusting font size or other available UI settings on the display unit or within the phone and ARC, it might change the display slightly.

One more thing, I like to use the RADIO function for the artist but when I do, it pretty much plays the same tracks from the same artists. Too bad that it can’t use the same radio code that runs on Roon core because that seems much more random and I don’t remember of it repeating like ARC does.

ARC receives the radio stream directly from the RoonServer - there’s no separate algorithm controlling track selection for Roon Radio in the mobile app. The product team is investigating discrepancies and strange behavior within Roon Radio over here: Roon Radio repeats songs multiple times [Roon Investigating]. If you can provide an example of a track that is repeating more often than it should in Roon Radio, this is especially helpful we pinpoint the issue in logs.

I initiate play thru my iPhone with Roon arc, all albums play thru CarPlay.

You’ll need to specify the issue here a little more precisely - is the concern that CarPlay remains tied to the phone’s audio system output via the Bluetooth connection even when you’re outside the car? Or are you concerned that all Albums are queuing when you select Play Now when CarPlay is set as the output Zone?

We’ll keep a lookout for your response. Thank you!
