I'm getting the dreaded 'ERROR RETRIEVING CACHE BLOCK' problem. Again.

Samsung S23 Ultra with well over 700GB of free space. App version 4.10.0gp.

What's the fix?

I'm was thinking it was me...and maybe it is...but....

I'm afraid of Americans V1 was silent for me.  I thought it was my wireless speakers...but looking at the song ratings, it looks to me like something's wrong.

Or not...

Would be curious what specific device you are seeing this on. 

There's a few Alexa devices that can get loopy. Only real solution is to use an alternative to the skill which doesn't support skipping.

Hey there 👋
I have sometimes a bug on the Alexa skill, most of the time after asking "next" the feed is stuck in loop on the jjngle "you're listening to radio paradise"
We have to stop music and start again.

How to best report this kind of bug?

Feature Request: Alana doing the RP announcements in "My Favorites Mix"? (MFM)

I know not hearing any breaks or announcements is kind of a privilege of the MFM, and if request is met with a hatestorm, then I'm clearly bananas.  But I thought it would be fun to have William (and Alana) doing the breaks in the Main Mix, then have the Next Generation do the MFM.

Thank you all, even those raging against me, for helping make RP possible.  We none of us do it or listen alone.

That's not possible at the moment.   We'd need some sort of lock screen widget.   

I often check the app to see what year a song was released, and it’s frustrating that the release year gets pushed off the screen whenever the album title is too long. I’ve tried looking for the date elsewhere in the app, say by tapping album title, to no avail. 

Playlist history has more concise formatting to allow for years to display, but still many album titles are too long, so release date is often missing there as well. 

Placing year after album title is a design flaw—if the title exceeds a certain length, the release year becomes completely inaccessible.

I’d gladly settle for a smaller text size for the album and song title if that meant I could always see the release date.

Can you put the last played date information back? I can't find it anywhere so I assume you took it out for reasons. Sometimes, though, I hear a song that I thought I heard yesterday and I just want to make sure I'm not going crazy.

Hi all

I would like to get the slideshow of the RP App on the lock screen of my phone (Android 13). "Enable slideshow" and "Ken Burnes Effect" are already checked in the app settings.

Does someone have an idea what I'm missing?

It was borked when I initially tried from the RAFT; link still doesn't work. But clicking from the RAFT does work. This is why we can't have nice things.

Someone must have deleted a post and somehow got the RAFT out of sync. I made a test post in there and forced a reset and now it works. I think.

edit: So if the URL ends with 

/forum/topic/26450/4017021

you can delete the 4017021 number and never worry?

This bug is in its own thread

I'm having repeated problems with Carplay. I listen to RP frequently in my car. The problem is the app works maybe 3-5 times, then crashes. I get the RP main screen but when I touch one of the Mixes, I get an empty screen with a non-functioning Play button. If I touch the Play button it just blinks. No music on any stream. The only way to fix it is to shut my phone off and restart it, or delete the RP app and reload it. I have the most updated version of the app.

Is anybody having issues with RP on Sonos often stopping and starting?

I'm finding this on both the main and mellow mix, even on the 128k channels, when I'm trying to feed the signal to more than about four speakers (the house network has seven speakers). Could this simply be a 'fact of life' with the amount of bandwidth available to any single feed, ie, I'm trying to split that feed too many ways?
