Thanks for the tips. My Roon core is on a year old Mac Mini M1 running latest software. The phone App is just going round in circles-telling me I'm running the latest version then on next tab saying I need to update.....
The Roon forum is full of these issues right now after tha launch of 2.0 plus ARC. It’s your best bet, as it depends on your equipment spec. Some older and now less-supported systems need a special regression to 1.8 ‘Legacy’
That is the problem with these major updates. They will keep bloating the software every year until it obsoletes our expensive and perfectly functional music servers. I wish they’d stop doing major updates. The software doesn’t need any more features.
My Macmini M1 updated fine, as did our iPads and iPhones. But my MacBook M1, which I occasionally use as a control point, got stuck in a loop as you described. I think I killed Roon in activity monitor and tried again and it was ok, or I might have rebooted. I notice much slicker faster performance between my iPad and the core.Thanks for the tips.

fully agree. ARC seems for pirates looking to run their own private streaming service, somewhat surprised it’s fully kosher.
It’s all about streaming these days and this feels like an unnecessary product except for maybe the *most* obsessive among us who absolutely must have access to those Barry Diament Leppelin masters at all times because god forbid I’m unaware of provenance while listening in my car. At 24/96, of course.
that said, I love my nucleus + dac of choice vs any other streaming solution I’ve tried yet, including Linn DSM. And of course I’ve got those Diament masters loaded on the SSD. But I’m ok with Spotify in the car.
This happened to me. Its when you have updated your device first, the Core needs to be updated first, I have no idea how I fixed it, but I dids, so it is possible!
I haven't updated the device at all as I'm not interested in ARC. According to the 'about' tab my core is running the latest version. I force stopped and restarted Roon all to no avail. Not sure what to do next.......
Difficult to say that ARC wasn’t necessary, as it was the single most requested feature from the user base over a constant period. Now, just what the actual proportion of the whole user base was, I don’t know. However, when you create a facility for users to request feature updates, you do kind of have to respond to the number one on that list. Not much use to me and it does seem to get more complicated as time moves on, but that’s true of many things.
