Description of Issue

When I do any search I get “no results found”- or sometimes something that has nothing to do with what I searched.

Examples help.

This happens. Some discussion here:

Search is Extremely Poor

Hey @Johnny_Ooooops Thank you for the overall detailed critique of search at roon. I understand the frustration and even share it with you in many aspects. That being said, there have been many changes going on in and around search that might not have been super obvious. The past year there have been new features/content in roon that were not directly in search, but affected it nevertheless. We have added another streaming service to roon - KKBox, there has been the Wikipedia integration, and …

Hey @pierluigi_gastone,

Thanks for taking the time to write in! Sorry to hear you’re having issues with search. We released a handful of updates related to search performance, but these updates were only applied to the current 2.0 production of Roon.

Unfortunately, your best next step here would be to update from 1.8, here’s more information on what that would look like:

Roon 1.8 <-> 2.0 Migration FAQ

That answer doesn’t help at all.
I find it incredible that you just hand me an article and basically suggest “get on with it”.

So:
What download option should I use?
Mac all in one?
Mac server?

Am I upgrading the core on my Mac mini.???

Then what do I do about controlling roon from my iPad?
Is there another download for that?

So now I used the all I one Mac link and downloaded it to Mac mini- no idea if it roon 2.0 but I have to assume so.

Now I downloaded the same to my iPad - and now I have roonl legacy 1.8 icon and then a regular white roon icon- I open that and it DOES NOT connect to the core.

So now what?

All of this is in the article. You have to upgrade everything. 2.0 and 1.8 don’t work together, it is either-or. The article is more comprehensive and mature than support could probably write in a post here. Also take note of the red box at the end of the article. I.e., read the whole article to understand if you want to make the switch.

The Core on the Mac Mini: If you were using the all-in-one with 1.8, you will want to use the all-in-one with 2.0 If you were just using the Roon Server on the Mac Mini with 1.8, you will want to use the Roon Server with 2.0.

Note that there are two sections in the article with links:
Download Links for Roon Core 1.8 (Legacy):
and
Download Links for Roon Core 2.0:

Choose the download link from the appropriate section.

For the iPad, the link for 2.0 is also in the article, in the Download Links for Roon Core 2.0: section, under
Download links for your Roon Remote:
Where you find this link (or you can simply search for Roon Remote in the App Store on the iPad)

Hi @pierluigi_gastone,

Checking in on your status, I can see from your account page that your core device seems to be up to date on the latest 2.0 build. Nice work!

Are you running into any other issues?
