Roon and Apple TV4/AirPlay 2 — Comnpatible or NOT?

[Greg (Greg Stratton)]

Are you running Roon build 363?

Roon 1.5 (Build 363) Is Live!

Hi all, We are hard at work on our next release, but we’ve recently made some progress addressing playback issues on devices to that support Airplay2. We wanted to release that bug fix without further delay, so Build 363 is rolling out now. At this time Roon does not support Airplay2, but tonight’s release ensures that Roon can continue to use Airplay to devices that recently added Airplay2 support. This includes Apple devices like the Airport Express, as well as other devices like the NAIM Mu…

I have it working on my Apple TV 4K, tvOS 12.1.1.

On the Apple TV in Settings > AirPlay I have Allow Access set to Same Network and Require Password = Off.

In Roon, when you enable Apple TV, it will give you a 4 digit code on your tv screen, enter the code and press Return. That should enable it.

Cheers, Greg
