Description of Issue
The Roon core and remote are both installed in Mac mini, however, at the remote setup not been able to find Roon Core since day1. I tried another remote in my Samsung mobile, the same result was not able to find nor connect to core. Below link for my zip file of the server and remote logs file. Thanks for the help!
Make sure your wifi and Lan connection to the mini are on the same IP address ranges or perhaps add the wifi connection to the mini in addition to the lan connection. make also sure the wifi network is not a guest network too.
make sure also the apps have been removed and reinstalled on the mobile devices.
make sure you dont have the firewall turned on on the macmini too
I connected the wired ethernet cable to mini, the result is the same no improvement. My firewall is all turned off in the mini and router. I’ve reinstalled roon in the mini but the same result, strange. I’m sure my wifi network is not a guest network, and it is sure they are in the same IP address range(192.168.29.xxx), the IP is only the last part difference.
I have no idea if the following is relevant (it’s beyond my expertise or knowledge to say) but your logs indicate that Roon Server is discovering a couple of bridged networks in addition to your 192.168.29.xxx LAN as follows:

I don’t know if this is even relevant, let alone the cause of the problem, but it struck me that it might be complicating matters.
The found Bridge that is I have a virtual machine Parallel installed, and it Shared Mac. network, it has 2 share modes:
a. Common Shared: Parallel assign IP: 10.211.55.2
b. Host-only: Parallel assign IP: 10.37.129.2
In fact, during the setup and find core process, Parallel never been on. Do you think that will be the main cause?
Is Roon running in a VM? If it is…
Your configuration is not supported. What you’ve built is:
network1 - VirtualRouter - network2
Your Remotes are on network1 and your Core is on network2. Not a supported configuration.
If you want to run virtual you must assign the Core a bridged network interface and that interface needs to be bridged to a hardware network interface on the Mac mini which is connected to the same network as your remotes.
This bridged interface will then obtain a DHCP address from the same network as your remotes. Remove any firewalls and things should work.
If Roon is not running in a VM ignore the above. How did you install your core on the mac? What steps did you take? Is your Mac mini wired to router? Or is it wifi? What is the IP address of your remote, core, and endpoints? If possible please verify subnet mask as well.
Please post some screen shots of the network and advanced network settings on you M1 Mini.
perhaps there are some issues with subnet mask or other entries like DNS / gateway etc that we might spot.
perhaps something like LanScan on the Mac App Store would help see whats actually out on the network or something FING for the mobiles to see what they see too.
Find Roon OS is ONLY used to locate Nucleus or ROCK servers on the network. It is not use for RoonServers running on Windows, MacOS, or Linux. So, as far as I understand, ignore that it is not used in your setup as you are running it on MacOS.
As an aside, even if you were using one of the other ones, it really only redirects the user to opening the webpage that those servers run.
Linn Streaming is only used if you are using Linn equipment. I didn’t see that you were, so, ignore it.
If you are having trouble with your mobile connecting to the core, on your mobile, when it says it can’t find the Core, click the blue Help button which allows you to enter a server IP and enter 255.255.255.255
Your final image suggests that your are connected to your core - DaviddeMac-mini. From what device did you grab this screen shot? Also, if you click the hamburger (top-left) and go to the ‘home’ page, what does it show?
So that means my Roon installation is normal and works as it should be. On my mobile app, I click the blue help button, not it also looks ok. Thanks All!
