Hi,
Having trouble getting this to work. I would like to install ONLY roonserver on my mac mini (to which is attached my main music hard disk and my DAC/living room hifi). I would like NOT to have to manage the music from an instance of the main roon app on the mac mini because it does not have a monitor (it is connected to the TV but it has issues with roon’s resolution requirement). SO, I install roonserver on the mac mini, run it, install roon on the other mac, select to run as a remote, connect to the roonserver on the mac mini, and i’m good. I have deliberately moved any music from the music folders of both the mac mini and the remote mac to other locations, as I do not want roon to start cataloging that music… I want to direct it to the hard disk attached to the mac mini where I want to move all the music to. So now I’m in the storage set up screens, I leave the /music folder enabled in the list of watched folders, turned iTunes off, leave the /roonserver folder in the list of organized folders, but now I want to ADD the path to the music disk to the list of organized folders. I want Roon to organize that disk (which is attached to the mac mini running roonserver).
When I enter the path, user and password, it tells me the “user name or password is incorrect”. I am absolutely sure the path, user and password are correct.
Have tried re-installing everything fresh (deleting library files, restarting, reinstalling, restarting, etc.) countless times. I always get that error.
Is there something fundamentally wrong with my approach? Is the only solution to having roon “organize” the music to have an instance of roon running on the mac mini alongside roonserver?
btw… I am running roon 1.1 build 51 and the latest version of Yosemite on both macs.
Some direction would be greatly appreciated…
My apologies if this is documented somewhere but I did search and did not find even basic setup instructions for the server, only the comments posted here:
https://community.roonlabs.com/t/how-do-i-move-my-library-over-to-roonserver/3195
which talk about migrating (my case is a fresh install).
Thanks,
Carlos
