Roon 2.0 Build 1174 and ARC Build 98 is Live!

Hello Everyone,

Today’s earlyaccess release is focused on refining the presentation of Wikipedia data within Roon.

Based on feedback from this group, TiVo (Rovi) data is now split into three separate categories (Album Reviews, Artist Bios, and Composition Synopses) which can be independently prioritized by the user. An application of this additional functionality would be to prefer TiVo album reviews while still utilizing Wikipedia for artist biographies.

Other changes involve distributing Wikipedia data to more screens and individual user interface features of Roon. Please do let us know if your preferred data source isn’t showing up where expected.

As always there are a number of bug fixes and performance enhancements throughout Roon and ARC. Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you encounter any bad behavior.

Thank you for your continued support,
The Team at Roon Labs
