I sometimes need to connect to a different Core to the one on my local network. I do this by setting up a VPN into the remote site.
When i open the Roon software on my PC it always finds the Core that is local to my network (which is exactly what i would expect it to do) but there doesnt appear to be any way to select the “Connect To A Different Core” that used to be available.
The only way ive found around this is to turn off the core on my local network so that i can get far enough though to type the IP address of the remote core.
Not sure what you mean. I do it all the time and it works perfectly, and there is even a place to type in the IP address of the Core you want to talk to.
Its just a case of how to get to that menu when its discovered a differnent core already on your network?
And again: it’s not officially supported. You may be able to connect to the other/remote Core but playback to your (local) endpoints might not be possible.
This is the only solution to be able to offer any sort of remote support to our clients who have paid Roon for their software (and most commonly hardware in the form of Nucleus) but need direct support. Not trying to stream music to any (local or remote) endpoint.
Always used to be an option to “Choose A Different Core”, but that appears to have been removed…
So you want to open up a feature request for this? Or just make this thread a feature request (use the pencil right by the thread title to change the category).
