How do I stream to different endpoints from a Nucleus?

Roon Software
#1

When using roon From a macbook, I can use the Airfoil app to stream to my Naim Uniti Atom.
I can also use the Airfoil app to stream to a chromecast in another room, another Chomecast in another room and also a Bluetooth speaker in another space.

Is it possible to have the same functionality using a Nucleus as the server instead of the Mac?

All at the same time synched or individually?

#3

Why are you using Airfoil to the Atom or Chromecast these are endpoints natively supported in Roon , is this because your streaming non Roon content from another app? If so then the answer is no as the Nucleus runs Roon only.

Hi Ged,

Sorry I should have been clearer, yes I meant the same time synched.

Hi CrystalGipsy,

I want to stream to all my various endpoints at the same time with the same content.
Atom, Chromecasts, and Bluetooth.

It seems that I can only stream to one group at a time from Roon, while Airfoil allows me to stream to anything at the same time.

Can you suggest a similar solution streaming from the Nucleus?

#6

Nucleus is roon only and runs a roon developed cut down Linux so won’t do what you are after.

#7

Your out of luck with a Nucleus as I said it’s Roon only. Are they all in sync when you use airfoil?

#8

When I’m streaming Roon from my mac via Airfoil they’re all in sync

#9

So your streaming the system audio output of the Mac when playing Roon via Airfoil. Hardly bit perfect but if it works.

#10

yes, but I’d prefer to use my Nucleus+ as my core

#11

OK, I’ve found a solution, I include the Atom in a Chromecast group in the Google Home App = success. The only difference is that I don’t get the artwork in the Atom window from Roon.

Yep that works but not for Bluetooth.
