ROON ARC: All of sudden, "Something went wrong" and "Poor connection" and "Searching for Roon Core..." messages [Resolved]

The cloud hosted brokering system must be having a fit.
Well, fine, this is the risk when you run any centralised system. Bug-free code is like unicorns and fail-free infrastructure is about the same. Problems happen, and they’re sometimes much bigger than ever expected and may take time to fix.
All good so far. This is engineering.

What is not good at all, in a grand scale by now, is the total lack of communication about it from Roon Labs. That is support, marketing and sales failing big time, making an engineering issue much, much worse than it should be.

Problems happen. It’s the way you communicate about them that will make those problems bad or good events.

The regular support guys like @Wes and @connor are probably aware, but the real communication should now come from C-level, like @danny

you need to see the positive side: it only affects ARC. If the problem were extended to Roon, with the inability now to use it offline, we would all have to find alternative ways of listening to music until the problem is solved.

Description of Issue

iOS device can connect to Roon Remote. Roon Remote states Roon ARC is ready and tests pass. Unable to find Core when connecting on the iOS device using Roon Arc.

Have tried setting UPnP instead of manually port forwarding (same result). Restarted iOS device, reinstalled Roon ARC. Reset router. Tried Roon ARC on another iOS device. Nothing has resolved the issues so far

I am facing similar issue and also tried using https://canyouseeme.org/ to check the IP and port all working fine.

It still worked last week and suddenly stucks at “No roon cores found” today. Tried resetting router and roon server. Nothing helps.

Same problem here in India too. Have deleted arc and will rely on Apple Music for ooh listening. It’s just as easy.

Today i noticed ARC, finds no roin cores.
Roon version 1149, latest ARC and roon remote android software.
Roon setting for ARC runs ok on noth my android phone and server (see figure).
ARC was running ok, few days ago.

Hey all, just wanted to let you know that we are working on this.

Somebody accidentally kick the roon ARC server plug out of the wall?? :slight_smile:

Same issue with ARC app not finding Core even if Roon Remote shows ARC to be ready for secure connection…

Solved for me.
I can use ARC again.

It shows “No Roon cores found” instead of “Searching for Roon core…” for me now.

Well, there is progress at least. :slight_smile:

Edit: Working now!

For me it changed from “Something went wrong” and “Poor connection” to “Core last seen 21 hours ago” (while my core is playing music on the same network :)).

Solved for me as well :slight_smile:

Hi folks.

ARC is now working. I haven’t changed anything from my end.

Hao

It is up and running again :gift:

Still not working for me :frowning:

I now get the message “Core last seen 3 days ago”.
