I have to wake the core machine to make the Node appear. Once that’s done it works fine until the iMac goes to sleep again. “Wake on network” is on and it used to work fine until 2.0. As you can see, browsing the library is possible and so is searching and adding or removing albums.
The only network change I’ve made was to set the modem/router into bridge mode as installing ARC revealed that there was double NAT going on.
I’ve restarted everything several times and deleted and reinstalled all relevant apps.
Accessing the Node with the bluesound app is possible and I can play music through that. However, waking up the node does nothing to help Roon, only waking the iMac will.
If the iMac is awake when starting the music, I can continue controlling it like usual, but if I pause it immediately loses contact with the node.
I have the same problem. No audio devices visible although I’m in contact with the Core via my iphone.
I first have to make contact with the core (roon server on old macbook air put away in closet) via screen sharing. When the screen of the core laptop is visible the audio devices appear immediately.
I’m case it isn’t clear there is no way I can leave the core running full power 24/7. This is not simply an inconvenience to me, effectively Roon is broken for me until this is fixed.
Using this support forum feels like shouting into the void hoping someone hears me.
You should be able to try it out indestructibly, after pulling a database backup, by installing Roon server in parallel and authorizing it as the core on start-up - you’ll have to restore a database backup to it then.
Don’t bother installing Roon Server as an experiment. I’m running Roon Server on a macbook air 2011. Everything works fine EXCEPT waking up after sleep: no audio devices available.
@Hestepare Thank you for this suggestion. It’s a great one. The other possibility is that there is database corruption.
Try this first: Navigate to your Roon’s Database Location. Find the folder that says “RAATServer”Rename the “RAATServer” folder to “RAATServer_old”Reboot the device from the Web UI
From there, it may be necessary to copy your database out of it’s folder to start Roon with a new one. If this resolves the issue, corruption is likely.
The WebUI is only relevant for those using a ROCK or RoonOS core. My apologies for the confusion. In your case, once you’ve renamed the RAAT folder, restarting the Mac is what needs to be done.
