hello 

Missopiano

your screen shot is so small not even superman would be able to read that.

Check that you are logged in to splice and also if your running any sort of firewal or antivirus software give permission as it might be blocking you from  the  splice app.

Did you guys find a solution to fix this issue? I’ve the same issue and I can’t get it fix, the customer support is awful, if someone can help me that will be great. I’m running Mac OS thanks in advance.

@daniel williams did you fix it?
No solution. Not that I'm aware of. After spending a thousand dollars, and finding out it doesnt work on Windows or Androids, it's such a waste. Now I have to wait until I can spend another 2 grand on a MacBook. Btw, I do have a MacBook air but it doesn't respond as well on that on Bluetooth either.
I had the same issues as well and the support team couldn’t help me, please anyone dealing with that issue please stop doing what the support team telling you because technically it doesn’t make any sense. I’m going to share with y’all what I did and it was easy. If you on a Mac and you are the administrator please activate the guest account and sign in to it and give it access to the shared folder, try to install roli connect and follow the normal process everything should be fine. I was frustrated for days as well, I know how you guys feel, customer support team I’m sorry you guys not helping at all and please stop telling customers to “keep trying to delete the db or rpkg folder”.
