Description of Issue

I disabled automatic updates on Roon Core but forgot to do so on Roon Remote.
This morning I could see the Roon Remote updated automatically to 903 and couldn’t play any music.
It wasn’t seen anymore as an audio zone.
I proceded to install update on Roon core but now I have this situation:


Why there’s no link to build 904 on Windows?
Still the remote not acting as an audio zone:

I proceded to disconnect from Roon core e reconnect but to no avail.
Any idea?

Update: pretty unstable Roon Remote… Already crashed twice in 30 mins. Once while i was trying to disconnect from Roon Core, the other time when I merged two albums.

904 was a fix for Mac’s only not discovering locally attached devices with 90. it didn’t go out for anything else. Doesn’t solve your issue here. Have your rebooted core and remote machines to see if it aids discovery?

Yes @CrystalGipsy but sadly nothing’s changed.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall but still nothing.

Hello @Andrea_Campi1 ,

Can you please share a screenshot of your Roon Settings → Audio zone?

Only the MacOS Roon App was updated for the zones issue hotfix, other platforms will remain on 903.

Do you by any chance have the remote zones setup as Private Zones?

Hello @noris .

Here’s the screenshots:

Hello @Andrea_Campi1 ,

Since this issue only impacts your Roon Remote, can you please try to reinstall Roon + RAATServer on the Roon Remote and see if this helps? You can use these instructions to do so:

  • Create a Backup of your current Roon database
  • Exit out of Roon on the Remote
  • Navigate to your Roon’s Database Location on the affected remote (not the Core)
  • Find the folder that says “Roon” and “RAATServer”
  • Rename “Roon” to “Roon_old” and “RAATServer” to “RAATServer_old”
  • Reinstall Roon from our Downloads Page
  • Connect to Core and verify if zones show up
