Roon was updated today on my old iMac running Mac OS 10.15.8 during an update all Roon devices command. The new version is running on my Antipodes server and is accessible by my other remote devices (iPhone and iPad) but the Mac advises now that the OS is too old to run the new version. I use the i…

@Neil_Bulk I’ve got a similar thread going but my problem is the MacMini was running Roon Core. As I mentioned in the thread: ”*if the auto-update was going to do this, a single conditional check — something like “if OS < macOS 12, abort upgrade” — would have been trivially simple to implement an…

@mjw Since you seem to be well-versed in Roon’s efforts, why would they create a “rollback patch” (pre-2.65) for the macOS client and not the Core? Since “the majority of macOS users also have iOS devices” it seems foolish to spend the effort on the client. It’s those of us running Core that got b…

According to the response from @connor in the thread I started (see link above) “*The pre-2.65 installer is a client-side package and won’t restore a functioning Roon Server on your Intel Mac Mini. It’s a stopgap for Roon Remote on machines that can’t upgrade macOS, and we recognize that wasn’t com…

Compatibility issue with Roon Server on Mac mini running Catalina after update (ref#YFLC1J) This won’t, however, work for installing the server on Catalina. Long-term, you’ll need to host RoonServer on a compatible OS version. There are third-party tools like OCLP that can allow you to up… Af…
