Outstanding, Roon!

Oh my according to that FAQ, it will be looking to maintain a connection with your network through port forwarding. Its a brave Roon team I’ll say that

Still waiting for the update … it is now 10:30 PM here in Perth Western Australia.

Nice to see we can sync music, so we can download while offline. Be nice to see the read the full announcement at 5pm GMT.

Synology NAS users will have to wait for a new package I guess ? Or will it pull it like it did for 1.x versions ?

ChrisRoon · September 20, 2022, 2:38pm

It’s 14:37 UTC time though, you still have 90 mins to wait.

Sean_Burke1 · September 20, 2022, 2:39pm

I’m assuming it’ll take some time before the .spk is updated for Synology devices to access ARC?

Well, it’s not yet 16:00 UTC…

Unless you have a good Internet connection at home or wherever your core is, downloading will not be a good option. I know my home upload connection is not good enough, at 10mbps to make downloading from my server a viable option whilst away.

LOL about ARC cause the guys at Roon knows nothing about the desastrous german mobile network coverage.

ChrisRoon · September 20, 2022, 2:42pm

Should’ve advertised it as 16:00 Zulu time, that would have caused some real confusion.

Grzegorz_Gromadzki · September 20, 2022, 2:44pm

But it is optional to use it and they really can’t change that fact so why not to implement it. I wil show it to my friend who is a vinyl guy - I will conect with my phone via line in and I will say " Future is here, Old man!"

I almost bought a second subscription for work recently. Glad I waited.

i am beta testing ARC since some weeks in german mobile network without problems or interruptions, even on the Autobahn. (Network is Congstar/D1 LTE)

Paul_Whittaker · September 20, 2022, 2:47pm

The package is already available and has been tested.

Paul_Gordon · September 20, 2022, 2:48pm

I knew there’d a be reason for jusitfying having 1gig download & upload at some point.

gTunes · September 20, 2022, 2:48pm

In the US, the Roon app (not the new Roon ARC app) has now been updated to Roon 2.0 in the iOS App Store. This new version requires an updated core. Roon Remote (Legacy) is also now available.

This is exciting and I’m looking forward to it. I hope, on iOS, that voice control works and I’m looking forward to a future update with CarPlay support!

Gareth_Irwin · September 20, 2022, 2:48pm

I’ll say this much Roon won’t be adjusting my network anytime soon lol.
