Description Of Issue
Very often I can not connect to the Roon server via Remote on Android device. I think this is since the latest update. I’ve noticed that if I switch off ‘allow remote connections’ on the server, and then switch it back on, they connect. Then after a few minutes they disconnect again.
Welcome to the forum! Can you please confirm if this issue only occurs from the Android remote, or does it occur from other Roon Remotes as well?
If you try to click on the “Help” button that appears after sitting on the “Choose your Core” screen for a few min, and try typing in the IP address of the Core or the Multicast IP of 255.255.255.255, does that allow re-connection?
Can you please check your Windows Firewall exceptions? I would verify that both Roon.exe and RAATServer.exe have been added as exceptions to your Windows firewall.
You can use these instructions to add the exceptions and the executables themselves would be located in your Database Location/Application folder path.
I would also add these exceptions to any Antivirus or other Firewall blocking applications you may have and ensure that you connected to your network via a Private network, not a Public one, see this guide for more information.
Weird that it worked fine before, I guess maybe the firewall exception got removed during an update or something - anyway, all working now. Thank you!!!
