Describe the issue
Embedded Lyrics not showing up in ARC (in ROON they are)
Describe your network setup
No network issues - ARC is active RoonServer on NucleusOne
Problem: Since a few days embedded lyrics are not showing up in ARC while playing. For older albums the lyrics are still showing up. When playing the same (newly added) albums on Roon on macOS, the lyrics are visible - so no problem with the tags and/or syntax of the lyrics.
How can I trigger ARC to show the embedded lyrics for newly added albums, like it worked always in the past?
Have you downloaded the affected tracks to your phone for offline playback, or are you streaming local files from RoonServer?
ARC treats embedded lyrics like track metadata, which means that they aren’t continuously re-evaluated for changes. I recommend forcing a full sync.
Please try the following steps:
Close ARC completely
Close RoonServer completely
Open RoonServer and force a re-scan of the Watched Folder hosting the files with missing lyrics in ARC. The more heavy-handed solution would be to disable and reenable this location entirely.
Now, open ARC on your home WiFi. If these are locally downloaded files in ARC, I recommend deleting and redownloading them on the phone.
Please let us know if this helps and we’ll proceed from there.
Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly and for the solution you suggested!
I was streaming the files locally from RoonServer. After restarting RoonServer and telling it to re-scan the watched folder, the issue seems to be fixed for now. I’ll keep adding new albums over the weekend and will check if the lyrics keep showing up correctly on ARC.
