Description Of Issue
Playing music via Tidal is totally hit or miss, and mostly a miss. Pick an artist, click “play now” and getting regular errors like “Unexpected Error: Limiting Roon Radio to library” and then it plays something else.
If instead I try playing an album or specific song, better than 50% chance it starts playing and then throws a similar error after 5-10 seconds and falls back to my local library. Or maybe it actually plays the song and doesn’t update the “now playing” screen… ever. At this point, if I don’t touch it, it seems to keep playing fine… until I decide to play something else and then, it’s back to more errors.
Once in a very great while it actually works properly.
FWIW, this was happening occasionally with 1.7 but 1.8 seems far worse. It also happens not just on my iPhone 8, but other systems running the latest 1.8 build as well.
