Description of Issue

Well, my setup works perfectly except for one small detail. Roon can’t find my Apple Homepod Mini (Software version 15.1, latest) and my Apple TV 4K 2021 (version 15.0) connected via ethernet. It has no problem finding my iMac, Macbook, iphone, ipad and Bluesound Node. All of these devices are on the same network. Some via ethernet, some via Wifi.

Homepod Mini is updated to the latest software version and I also did a reset. I have been running Roon for more than a month now and it never listed the Homepod Mini or the Apple TV.

Under home settings in Apple Home app I have set the option ‘Allow Speaker & TV Access’ to ‘Everyone’ after experimenting with all the options including ‘Require Password’ but to no avail.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?


Well, Core build 846 fixed this issue. Haven’t thoroughly tested it yet but at least I can see the devices now.

Many thanks!
