Description Of Issue
Roon does not find my Oppo 205 on my wireless network. It does find my Oppo 203 on the wired network. The 205 shows up when I do network discovery, and the Oppo connection test works fine.
I too would suggest a reboot of your devices - the Core, Networking Gear and Oppo 205 as well.
If that does not help - is there any change in behavior if you try temporarily plugging your Oppo 205 via Ethernet?
Well this is interesting. Rebooted router, NAS, and Oppo. No change.
I also have 2 HomePods next to the Oppo. They aren’t seen either. 2 HomePods in the living room are seen. All of the HomePods are on the same 5 Ghz network and are running 13.4.8. So one set is seen and one set isn’t, even though on the same network.
The 4th generation 5G Apple TV next to the Oppo isn’t seen. The wired 4K Apple TV downstairs is seen.
This used to work. Router didn’t change, but there have been HomePod and Roon updates. QNAP Roon is 1.7 build 571.
This behavior sounds fairly strange. Do you by any chance have a PC you can try to temporarily host the Roon Core on? You can use these instructions to do so:
Open Roon on the other PC you wish to try as the Core
Roon Settings -> General
Disconnect
On the “Choose your Core” screen, press “Use this PC”
If asked to Unauthorize, you can go ahead and do so. You are limited to one active Roon Core at a time but you are free to switch between them as often as you’d like.
Verify if the same behavior occurs on the different PC
Switched back to the QNAP and the devices aren’t there. Both the Mac and QNAP are connected to the same 10 Gbe switch. Disconnected the thunderbolt port but no change.
This implies that there is some QNAP setting that is preventing discovery. Just don’t know what it is.
Have you tried connecting the oppo 205 by wire as @noris suggested?
As far as I know, HomePods are also exclusively connected eith a WiFi connection. So I am wondering if this is somehow related to your WiFi connection.
I reinstalled Roon on the QNAP and the devices in the bedroom (Oppo, AppleTV, HomePods) appeared. The Oppo and Apple TV disappeared after some minutes. The HomePods, which didn’t show earlier, now are there.
Can’t connect via Ethernet since no wired connection available in that location.
The Oppo now suddenly is seen. This happened at the same time that the problem with Roon not working on QNAP “Unexpected exxor loading composer” went away as well. Given all of the QNAP firmware updates not sure if they fixed it or whether it was a change in Roon 1.8. Given that the device was not seen in my iMac either most likely a Roon fix?
