Roon does a geo lookup to determine whether or not to show the UK only stream. The fact that the stream is not showing implies something awry with your VPN setup.
I can play the hires stream from all devices at my home. iPhone, Mac, everywhere. I would just like to be able to get it via roon.
Well it is not a vpn - it is a dns service. So that is probably why it does not change the region via geolocation on roon.
Is there no way to override the geolocation in Roon, well for users like me?
Or could you please post the bbc 2 hires stream link that works within Roon, so I can make a manual Station of it?
@brianw but there is still one thing I do not understand. In the station I had created for BBC 2, I have exactly the same stream link that you used for my Teststation. Yours works perfectly, mine does not.
I actually have a few stations I created that used to work and do not anymore.
I think it’s because Roon first tries to matche that stream with one it already knows about. It then sees a geo restriction and thus denies access. (Roon’s location check puts you outside the UK)
yes, that makes sense. But there are also other problems with radios that I added and that are in my geolocation. The stream works perfectly on my Mac, but not anymore on Roon. Adding with tune in link does not do the trick.
