Airplay does not appear anywhere in the setting of roon

I open my iphone open Itunes music, start listening in my Iphone I open and see reproduction is in Iphone and sbove on the window open appears AirPlay. But going to Roon , setting, Music, nowherecir appears Airplay
Same with my mac

Hi Francisco, fellow user here
I do not know know why Airplay does not appear for iPhone or Mac (not appearing for me also), but you can play to them (wifi) using Roon advanced audio transport. Airplay appears for the devices that are not capable of Roon advanced audio transport but are capable of Airplay. For other devices there could be both appearing. All appear under settings/audio

Airplay devices go under ‘Other network devices’ (but iPhone is not under airplay):


Playing to iPhone you can see in the singnal path that roon is using ‘Roon Advanced Audio Transport’

My Macs: first is listed the machine that I am on, some iMac (This Mac) and second one is m1 mini that has Roon Core (connected to Core)

Hope I’m right and it helps

Are you trying to connect to Roon via Airplay to play from Itunes to a Roon endpoint?
This is simply not an intended function.

Check the tinkering section.
There seems to be a community tool, called entry points, and a commercial third party offering for that…

Roon doesnt use system AirPlay it has its own AirPlay code that lets non mac users also utilise AirPlay.You have to enable any AirPlay zone via Roon in audio settings as shown by @Traian_Boldea for Roon to see it first as it would any other zone. Then select that zone in Roons zone picker to play to it. You can’t send to Roon itself as it is only an AirPlay sender not a receiver, there is an extension plugin that gets around this but till require a raspberry pi for it.
