I have the same issue. Everything works fine, except the new Smart Playlist feature is not there.

Yep, same here after update. Running Remote on Windows and server on ROCK.

Solution: I restarted Roon Server Software on Rock and now the smart playlist feature is available.

This seems to be necessary in order to get the ability to create smart playlists showing.

I had the same problem running Roon Server on DietPi. Fixed by stopping and restarting the Roon Server service.

No need to reboot the whole server (Although that would also work).

Thanks for the tips. I was wondering where they were after I got the latest build.

Rebooting my Nucleus fixed the issue.

I tried restarting the Roon Server as you suggested and now I see the Smart Playlist feature! Thanks a lot for your post!

interesting. the update ALREADY reboots the server.
sounds like it needs a 2nd reboot after the update is present.
if that’s the case this really should be mentioned in either the smart playlists blog post or the release notes as it’s not the standard roon update behavior.
Also that smart playlists blog post is awful lol it barely has any info on how to use this

I think it might depend on the order in which the different parts update. But yes should be mentioned in the release notes.

There’s an 8 minute video though, which is pretty comprehensive.
Edit: And I have no idea what else could be said than what’s in the text already

2nd reboot worked.

It’s just Focus with a different way to save it, more or less.

Post the updates (client and server) I only had to manually fully reboot my ROCK server once and it now works fine. Happy days!

There’s a topic in Feedback now about this similarity if anyone wants to add their $0.02

Stupid question: How do I restart the Roon Server Software on Rock?
