Hi,
I’m successfully running Roon on my Mac Mini M1. I have one issue though, after every automatic update of Roon I need to login to my Mac and start up Roon. Can’t there be a setting that Roon automatically restarts after an update?
Not the biggest of problems but a bit disturbing to finally, after a long day, settle in on the couch and then realise that I need to get up to the office, logon to the Mac etc to get things up and running again. Sure, I guess I maybe can turn the automatic updates off but I like to have the latest version installed and running…
Thanks,
Hans

that can be done in the MacOS settings - general - log in items
Thanks, but I already have that setting in place and my understanding is that it only controls what happens after a reboot of the Mac itself, not when Roon has updated but maybe I misunderstand?
@Hans_Raven, you may want to update to the latest version of Roon, Build 1353, when it becomes available to you. It installs Roon Server and separates the GUI as a separate application. Adding Roon Server to your startup may address what you are experiencing:
How is the performance of a M1 Mac mini also how large is your library? Also what ram did you get? I am on the market right now. I have a 2014 Mac mini that is surviving.
Roon 2.0 on any Mac, especially the M-series, can support Roon as well as Windows, Linux, and RoonOS devices. The 2.0 architecture updates were significant and now there should not be any performance differences across computing opitions. Previous Roon versions were a bit more limited on Macs, especially Intel-based ones.
I would think an M2 with at least the standard 8GB of RAM will be a big performance update with a 120K track library and 4GB of RAM.
