Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon?

Tell us what's going on

· Hi. I'm relatively new to Roon. Is it possible to view my Roon Library, Playlist and History when I'm away from my system and Wifi network? I'm not trying to access the music to play remotely, but only to see my Library. I'm using Apple iOS on the iPhone, and a stand alone Mac mini server to control Roon in my home. What I hope to do is be able to view my library and playlists when I'm away from my home in order to enable me to have conversations about the music I'm listening to with friends. Similar to what is possible with Apple Music, Qobuz, or Spotify...

Tell us about your home network

· Xfinity, with Apple devices

Hello @sorazem1 ,

Yes, that is pretty much possible, you can even listen to music and download it for offline listening.

We have a spare app called “Roon ARC” for this exact purpose.

You can check here the details about how to set it up.

Let us know please should face any issues enabling it.

Regards.

And if your ISP or LAN setup does not allow you to easily set up port forwarding as described in the link given in the above post, you can alternatively use Tailscale, which is pretty easy as you use a Mac Mini server. There is an intro here, and further links to Mac specifics:
