Problem Connecting or Finding Roon Server on iMac

With the most recent Roon update I have lost connection to the Roon Server.


I have restarted my iMac. I deleted, redownloaded and reinstalled Roon. I am running the latest Mac OS version. I checked the various settings for Roon in System Preferences ensuring Roon has the necessary permissions.

For all intents and purposes I am dead in the water with Roon right now. Any help or guidance to fix this issue will be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Michael,

Have you tried this?

Thank you, I did but the problem remains

I have my local networks settings enabled as pointed above in @Mark_Sealey’s referenced post.

I still get this issue on my Mac (running latest Sequoia) as well as iPad and iPhones (some of them running latest iOS and some older one as well).

This especially happens after updates. I’ll even lose them sometimes during playback. There is no real strategy that I’ve found to get them to come back after losing them. I’ve tried all kinds of things from rebooting router, my Core and endpoint devices, turning network on and off in device network settings.Sometimes, I just put the device away and come back after half an hour or so and hope it works by then.

Usually my older spare Amazon Echo 8 somehow remains stable. iPhone (iOS) are the worst at this for me. Mac OS is order of magnitude much more stable. If I run Roon app on my iPhone and it goes to sleep and I open Roon back, there is a 50% chance that it will cause playback to stop and eventually lead to the OP’s picture.


Do you have this icon on menu bar ? Clicking it will show your server status. It may not have launched at startup.

No I do not but I remember it being there previous to this problem. I really appreciate the effort to help

I got it! I finally got Roon back up. I simply set up a new server on why iMac and boom everything is back to normal

Thanks Michael. Had the same issue. Not sure i’d have been brave enough to set up a new server without your post but no drama and worked a treat.

Glad you are back up and enjoying your music as I am…
