@noris I’m also experiencing this in both Roon and ARC w/ Qobuz and local file playback. My play counts are increasing whenever I pause and resume playback and I’m also getting duplicate last.fm scrobbles. I posted about this a week or so ago here.
Edit: While I am loving the updates (especially ARC) this issue rather annoying.
Edit 2: Btw, last week I provided my thoughts on ARC (here) and how it brought me back to Roon after a year or so away. Really hoping this duplicate play count/scrobble issue can be addressed.
