Hi Hans\_Claerhoudt and especially Rebeka from Roon Labs.  
Of course, I found where the problem is, and it is in Roon. It’s strange that the technical support specialists don’t know about it.  
The problem was created by Roon himself. And since September 21, it has blocked the work of devices with built-in Cromecast, which are not licensed: Roon ready.  
More details here:

> When we first started our [Roon Ready network player certification program](https://roonlabs.com/roon-partner-programs), our goal was to provide a way for our customers to know that they were getting the best possible experience with their audio devices. People have come to trust Roon Ready devices to not only sound great, but work seamlessly in their homes with Roon. Every Roon Ready device goes through a rigorous certification process, and when manufacturers release their Roon Ready implementation before it’s ready, this impacts Roon us…

Of course, Roon didn’t take care of the users, which caused me a serious problem. I have been using the player for several years and have become attached to it. I considered him advanced and reliable. But the latter turned out to be fake. I can’t use it anymore, just because Sony didn’t get the Roon license. That is, Roon considered that he was the most important and coolest of all. At the same time, ordinary users suffered, and without warning. This greatly diminishes Roon’s credibility in my eyes. Personally, I don’t trust him anymore. Moreover, there are alternatives. Best regards, goodbye.
