Describe the issue
Roon app works on Ipad, and Android phone but no longer on Mac desktop app. Since last update of roon app on Mac I can't connect to my server anymore. I keep getting the message Connect to your roon server ... Find my Roon OS device. When adding the Ip manually it also doesn't succeed to connect to the server.
Describe your network setup
Modem and Router --> Roon on Dietpi NUC. Devices Mac, Phone, Ipdad on WIFI.
Thanks for writing in and welcome to the community!
As a first step, please confirm both your Mac and Linux running Roon Server are on the same local subnet within your network. You can typically check this via your router settings > device list, or you can check both IPs on each device to confirm the subnet is the same. Here’s more info:
for what it’s worth, I had this same issue last night. after many server reboots, both software and hardware, I just went to the Roon site and redownloaded the desktop app.
presto: it immediately connected to my core and all is fine again.
also, the mobile app was completely unaffected, as was the core. I could play music the entire time, just could not control from the desktop.
Thanks for the follow-up! There is not currently an option to download and install previous versions of Roon at this time.
As a next step, it may be worth reviewing one of the myriad network security changes introduced with MacOS 15.x was MAC address randomization.
I recommend navigating to your Network settings (WiFi → Details) and checking whether the Mac in question is relying on a Fixed, not a rotating, Private WiFi Address.
Thanks for the update @frederiklantsoght - we’re unfortunately not able to connect to your Roon Server, can you please use the directions found here and send over a set of logs to our File Uploader?
I’d also temporarily set up a direct ethernet connection from your Mac to your primary router and see if run into the same issue.
I tested an ethernet cable but this does not fix the issue.
When I test with another pc on the wifi network (windows pc) I have no problem to connect to my Roon server and to play tracks from the PC as controller for my Roon server.
Do I have to sent over logs from my server or the ones that are located on my macbook (Roon controller) that can’t connect to the server?
Can you provide more details around what you did when you checked the firewall settings on the Mac? Have you tested temporarily disabling your Mac firewall and see if you’re able to find and connect to your proper server?
Can you also please navigate to macOS System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network , and make sure Roon is allowed. If it is already enabled, toggle it off and on again. Then reboot your Mac, and see if the same issue persists.
