Networking Gear & Setup Details
This is a plain vanilla home network that uses an Arris SVG2482AC Surfboard router. The Innuos server is connected via ethernet cable. The Windows PC remote is connected to the same router using an ethernet cable. The iPad and iPhone are connected via my home network wireless connection. Roon cannot find the Core from any of these devices.
The Windows PC has Norton anti-virus protection. The VPN is turned off (rarely use).
Connected Audio Devices
The Innuos is connected via USB to a Marantz SA-10 SACD player, controlled with the Roon remote via the iPad or iPhone.
I sometimes use the iPad or the iPhone or the Windows PC as an audio player, controlled with the Roon remote on the device that is being used to play music at the time.
Number of Tracks in Library
All files are locally stored on the Innuos Zen Mk.3 Music Server.

Description of Issue
I have been using the Innuos Zen Mk.3 Music Server (a Roon Ready device) as the Roon Core for nearly a year without any problems. Suddenly, around April 14th, I opened the Roon app on my iPad and Roon could not find the Core. I tried my iPhone and Windows PC, but had the same scenario.
This occurs every time I try to bring up Roon on any of my remote devices.
I have been in communication with Innuos support. Through their direction, I successfully reconfigured the server settings to use the native Innuos Sense app and can successfully connect the Innuos to my USB DAC and play music using the Innuos Sense app on my iPad and iPhone 11 as the remote controller.
After using the Innuos native software to successfully play music through my USB DAC, I set the server configuration back to Roon (e.g., āUse Roon as your local libraryā = āonā), selected āRoon Coreā, applied the changes and restarted the Innuos server. Same problem as before, Roon cannot find the Core. I have downloaded a fresh executable of the Roon app on my PC, but this did not help. I also provided the IP address of the Innuos to Roon to scan for the Core. This was not successful either.
The Core is build 923. I canāt get to any screen on the remotes to learn their build. I only see the āwaiting for remote coreā¦ā screen or the Choose your Roon Core screen depending on the remote app.

I wonder then if itās possible they all updated to the latest b931.
Can you check in your update history on any of the devices and see if there was a recent Roon Remote update.
I think that is where this is headed. I pulled the build number for the Core from the Roon logs on the Innuos, but without the ability to connect to the Core from any remote device, I canāt get past the ālooking for Roon Coreā¦ā screen on the remote apps and thus canāt determine the build number for any of them.
ahhhhh, thank you. build 931 on both my iPhone and iPad. The Core is 923. Iāll talk to Innuos to see if they can push an update to the Roon Core on the Zen.

Just as I suspected, hopefully Innuos can get the Core up to build 931 to match.
Closing the loop. I was contacted by Innuos Support with the message that it seems that some of the recent/latest Roon updates may be triggering some issues for some customers.
This may be a case of a corrupted Roon database. To resolve, I needed to clear the current Roon database by going to innuOS dashboard > SERVER > SETTINGS > INTEGRATIONS > Roon > TROUBLESHOOTING > CLEAR ROON DATABASE.
This does not delete any of the Album folder/files stored on the server. Was then able to find and connect to the ZENās Roon Core server.
I did need to reconfigure Roon and restore it from a recent existing Roon backup, but I am back up and running and didnāt lose a thing.
