are there any plans to support ios endpoints when streaming over the internet?

i can see my roon library on my ipad but i can only see the local to roon server endpoints.

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding your question. Since Roon 1.4, Roon can play to an IOS device as endpoint. From 1.4 changes:

Playback on iOS :iphone:

Well, this has been a long time coming. Starting today, Roon supports playback to iOS devices!

iOS devices will now automatically exposes a private zone that acts like a System Output in some ways. However, iOS’s infrastructure is careful enough that when only one app is playing, the output is bit-perfect. Thus, external DACs, 24bit output, MQA, and DSD are all possible. Signal path will reflect playback quality accurately, and will also display the output path (headphones, speakers, bluetooth, usb, hdmi, …).

As always, Roon’s Signal Path will accurately reflect what is going on. Be aware that many lightning adapters/headphones are fixed at a 48kHz sample rate! So don’t be alarmed if you see a conversion to 48kHz in Signal Path when using one.

If you don’t see an update available in the App Store please confirm you are running iOS 11, as this is required for Roon 1.4.
