Multiple Mac desktop clients

Hi,

I have 2 iMacs in the house and workshop both on the same LAN.
Both machines: OS Sonoma and Roon build 1359
ROCK server, Roon build 1359.

I have a Bluesound device in main listening area but want to use the Mac as output in the garage.
I may want to play different music at the same time in 2 locations.
How do I configure the Mac application so that it does not lock out the other one when it is running?

You don’t have to configure anything. You can use any number of control apps (on Macs, on Windows, and on mobile devices) with a single Roon server.

You must ensure that the Roon Server and all control devices are on the same LAN subnet.

The Roon Server can output to several zones at once.

Nothing to configure as such, but you need to make sure the Roon Remotes on the iMacs are connect to Roon Server on ROCK (not a local Roon Server installation).

Hi, the problem was i had copied applications and data to a new mac and had forgotten that roon creates a unique id for each machine running the software
Complete uninstall using a 3rd party uninstaller and then a clean install on the new machine fixed the problem
I have had network problems with roon before when using a mac as the server
Basically never copy roon from one machine to another aways do clean installs
Thanks

Glad your up and running now :+1:

Yep, it’s a gold rule … clean installation and then if needed a restore from a current DB backup.
