Having Roon server setup at my Mac Pro and source files in my Synology NAS, everything is working fine except that multiple Apple TV 4 is showing up in my Roon client. It looks like Apple TV is adding as a new endpoint every time I turn on Roon client. (screenshot below).
I tried to fix the internal IP address of Apple TV in the router but it did not fix the problem.
A little bit strange that Apple TV 3 in another room is working fine.
Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance.
Hi @Jason_Bourne,
So we can better assist you, please describe your network configuration/topology, including any networking hardware currently in use, so we can have a clear understanding of how your devices are communicating.
If you reboot do things return to normal (at least temporarily)?
Hi @dylan
First of all, I have Roon server running on my Mac Pro.
All the music source files are in the Synology NAS.
My router is Asus RT-N66R.
(I am attaching the screenshot of my router’s client list)
I use iPad Pro (or iPhone) as a remote (using Roon app) to play music through Apple TV 4 in my living room and Apple TV 3 in my bedroom. I also use Roon client software on my Mac Pro (which is running Roon server at the same time) to play music. (Does that make any sense? I am not really good at explaining these kind of things)
The multiple Apple TV 4 occurrence is not happening at once. It happens throughout a certain period. In other words, it takes couple of days to show up multiple occurrence such as the screenshot on my first message above. It looks like a new Apple TV 4 device adds up one by one when I turn off and on Roon client application or when I turn on Apple TV 4 when Roon server is on (though I am not sure about the trigger point).
The reboot of Roon server will reset everything which shows only one Apple TV 4 device as an endpoint in the beginning. However, the same problem persists as another Apple TV 4 shows up and adds up one by one again. And I have to enable Apple TV 4 as a new device everytime I use Apple TV 4 as an endpoint because the previously enabled Apple TV 4 is not working.
I hope I explained everything properly.
If you have any further question please let me know.
Sounds like the same thing as ChromeCast dups -
That’s what came to mind when I saw this. Anyone know what the numbers in parentheses ( (3825) / (3845) etc. ) are? They do make the names of the Apple TV 4 unique.

Hi @Jason_Bourne,
I met with the team to discuss this and wanted to follow up with next steps. The team is currently working to reproduce this behavior in-house.
So we can better understand exactly what’s happening, we’d like to gather some additional info:
Thanks!
Hi @dylan,
Here are the answers for the questions.
For your reference, I forgot to mention that Apple Homepod is connected to this Apple TV 4
Before I reboot the Core machine as you suggested, I setup Airplay 2 in the Apple TV 4.
This is a little bit strange that I was able to play through Airplay on the Apple TV 4 even before I set up the Airplay 2. But while I was taking a picture of setup screen to show you the version of tvOS, I went into the Home Menu >> Airplay and the Apple TV 4 asked me to set up Airplay 2, so I just did. (this is the only thing changed since my first posting)
Now, it looks like the multiple Apple TV 4 occurrence is gone. I will have to wait and see though.
Somehow, the number in the parenthesis coming after Apple TV 4 is not changing now.
And it looks like the problem has disappeared.
I will post again if the same problem occurs.
Thanks.
