Core detects mac mini over airplay
Also detects roon bridge installed on 2 different raspberry pi 4 setups.
Number of Tracks in Library
12572 tracks (on my mac mini core internal ssd drive)
Description of Issue
When I run roon bridge on my M1 Mac mini it says roon bridge is running but it does not show up on roon core. I have disabled firewalls on both core and bridge mac and still cannot see each other. Core sees airplay on the bridge mac mini but not the roon bridge. What seems to be the problem?
Thanks for taking the time to write in, and welcome to the community! We’re super excited to have you here, but also apologize that it was an issue that prompted your first post. No matter, let’s dig in and get your Mac mini with Roon Bridge sorted out.
First to check: make sure the Private Relay is turned off in your iCloud settings.
On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Apple ID. Select iCloud > Private Relay.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Private Relay.
Your iCloud settings might take a while to load. In order to disable it, simply untick the box and click “Turn Off Private Relay” when the prompt appears.
If Private Relay isn’t being used please try uninstalling Roon Bridge, restart, then reinstall.
Let me know if your issue persists, I’ll be monitoring this thread for your reply
Private Relay is off on my Mac Mini (ironically it is on, on my iphone and roon works just fine)
I uninstalled roon bridge (app to trash-then emptied, removed library-RAATSERVER and library-ROONBRIDGE folder to junk and emptied)- Reset computer- Reinstalled Roon Bridge. On Mac Mini roon bridge says roon bridge running but roon core does not see it in the audio settings.
Interestingly enough I installed the roon bridge on an intel imac and it sees that one without problems.
One more interesting finding. Roon remote on my iphone when I go to settings->about sees the roon bridge at the correct ip address on my m1 mac mini but my roon core running on the intel mac mini does not.
Thanks for the updated information. A few follow-up things for you:
Have you tested the M1 in question just as a roon remote? Were you able to connect using it as a remote?
Did you use Time Machine with your Mac minis? If so, your Core machine may not be able to see the 2020 M1, as it will view it as the same machine as the core itself.
Yes the m1 mini does work as a remote when I run the full Roon software
I am not sure what you mean by Time Machine but the m1 mini is a new machine that I did restore from a Time Machine of the core mini and then renamed the old mini. This could be the problem? A clue also is that Roon as a remote does see itself as 127.0.0.1 in the about tab. How would I fix this?
