I have a Roon Core on my MacPro. Simple question — Roon does not see my Apple TV4 in my living room. Can this possibly work or is it simply being blocked by Apple, whether because of a standoff with Roon or otherwise? Obviously Roon with Tidal makes Apple Music totally inferior and unnecessary. So it would be just like Apple to block it.
I want a straight answer of whether this is true, and if there is any workaround, rather than wasting another several hours scouring for a potential solution that does not exist.
I do not want 50 questions about my setup, because it is clear that Apple TV and Airplay are working with all my other devices. There may be an issue with Airplay2, but I have already turned on the keychain and enabled 2-form authentication. And rolling back updates of software is also a non-answer.
Someone from Roon please give a clear, no-BS answer — Roon with TV4 or AirPlay2, or NOT? And if so, how?
Thanks in advance.

I have seen a host of threads trail off with no response from Roon.
I have an Apple TV 4Kworking with Roon. Nothing for me to do other than activate the zone. It’s on my home network via wifi, as is my core, generally works just fine. Perhaps a reboot for all your hardware - modem, router, switches, Roon core, and Apple TV?
I am running Apple Mac Cascades OS on the most powerful MacBook available. I have the Roon Core installed on this MacBook. I have the latest Apple 4K TV which is connected to a NAD 765 home theater by direct ethernet. NAD outputs to 7.1 surround sound with ELAC, PSB, and Infinity speakers. Anyway, Roon sees my Apple TV in Audio and Zone Settings. I can choose Apple TV as the end point in Roon, and it appears that Tidal or any other source is playing. The progress bar moves along on any tune, but no sound from the Apple TV via the NAD! I can connect to Apple TV just using iTunes and all works well. This tells me the problem is somewhere between Roon and the Apple TV. I spent hours trying to change the security, privacy, and other settings on Apple TV to try to make Roon play. I almost gave up until I found a simple work around suggested by another user…disable the Apple TV as a source in Roon, and instead, choose the MacBook Pro as the output source in Roon. Then on the MacBook Pro under its audio settings, choose Apple TV. This is the only way I can get Roon to work with Apple TV at present. I realize Apple TV has sound quality limitations. My other option is to connect an HDMI output cable directly into my MacBook Pro and output it to my NAD 765.
