Description of Issue

I encounter a very strange behavior and need your help.

Today I migrated my Roon server from Win10 to a Debian Linux that I installed on an Intel i7 Notebook. Anything worked as expected.

  • Could install Roon Server on Linux
  • I successfully restored the Backup that the previous Win10 Server created before first login.
  • Disabled the old Roon and enabled the new Roon Server
  • Set the Paths to the network share and all music was back :slight_smile:

I can open Roon on my iPad and my iPhone and anything works as expected.

But if I opened Roon on the Win10 PC in my study I saw this, no able to press the “Connect” button.

What I did next

  • I uninstalled Roon on the Win10 PC in my study
  • Rebooted the Win10 PC
  • Made a fresh install of Roon
  • It could connect!
  • After changing the theme to dark it restarted
  • After the restart I again saw the dialog above

Next I went to my wife’s Win10 PC and opened Roon. It was still v1021 and not used for a long time!

  • Roon started, I could connect to the new Linux Roon core
  • I was asked to update what I did
  • After the restart I saw the same dialog as above and was no more able to connect to the Linux Roon core.

Please remember:

  • The Roon Core on Linux works like charm on my iPad and iPhone.
  • I can playback any music I like and all works perfectly as expected.
  • Only issue: I cannot connect to the Roon Core on linux any more from Win10 PCs

Any ideas?

To verify the case I again uninstalled Roon on the Win10 PC in my study and did a fresh install of Roon. At the first start of Roon I see this and can connect to the Roon Core:

And it works as it should.

Closing Roon and restarting:

No More issues :+1:

I think you can close this case…
