Describe the issue

Paired homepods do not show up in B1432

Describe your network setup

N/A

[Nepherte (Bart Verhoeven)]

Both Amun and Amunet are paired together in the Home app, as well as Mut and Nun. It’s my understanding that with the latest update, they should show up as Airplay2 devices.

Core is a nucleus+ on B1432. The remote is a Macbook Pro 14" 20221 on B1432.

Airplay2 Support Not Available In Build 1432

Describe your network setup

The symptom is the same as

Airplay 2 now on - sounds good, but will that enable my Samsung TV?

As far as I know, the TV has Airplay 2 - and at least it has some kind of Airplay but has not been visible in Roon until now. Well, with the new update that has Airplay 2 functionality, I would have expected to see the TV in the Audio list… but it isn’t there. Is there something I misunderstood about Airplay or Samsung, or something else?

Even after the upgrade, all the Airplay2 services still appear as airplay, and the playback stays broken as old version.

I have submitted this ticket in the support section for escalation.

I’m having a similar issue. I have a HomePod mini that shows up under Roon Tested, and two original HomePods that are paired together in the Home app that show up under “Other network devices” as two separate devices:

I tried unpairing and re-pairing these two HomePods but still no luck.

I rolled back to B1431 , paired HomePods do show up but not B1432

Hi All,

Thanks for the reports here. Can you please confirm if rebooting your Roon server twice triggers any changes in behavior? Let us know when possible, thanks!

[Tuong]

I have the same problem exactly:

• Homepod minis pairs showed up correctly as pairs
• Original homepod pairs aren’t detected as pairs.

Rebooted the mac-mini on which Roon core runs several times.
Restarted Room core multiple times.
Problem is still there.

Also sometimes even the homepod minis re-appear as separated speakers then they show up as pairs again …

[Nepherte (Bart Verhoeven)]

I did restart the nucleus+ (ie. not roon server only) two times after the update, but that didn’t make the HomePods show up as a stereo pair.

However, I did another reboot the next day and they ended up showing. And by that, I mean only the AppleTVs (as AirPlay2) which use the homepods as their default output. I’m assuming the above is the expected behaviour, as only the TVs show up in the Apple Music and Tidal app either.

@noris I rebooted my Nucleus three times (the entire device, not just the Roon server), but my paired gen 1 HomePods continue to show as two separate devices as before. Running version 2.0 (1432) on both my Mac and on the Roon server.
