Describe the issue

I have been able to connect to Roon seamlessly until today. The remote app on my phone just shows “Waiting for your Roon Server”.

My phone (Pixel 7 pro, Android 16) is on the same wifi network as my Roon Server
I can connect to the Roon Server using the Roon remote on my laptop (Mac)

My Roon Server is a Roon Optimized Core Kit (version 2.62)

I tried to fix the issue by rebooting my phone. I am not running a VPN.

Describe your network setup

Roon Server is hardwired on ethernet. Phone is on wifi

What version of Roon is your Pixel running?

Hello @Mr_B ,

If you click on the Select a different RoonServer button when on this page, does the Roon Server show up there at all?

Is the Android and the ROCK on the same subnet?

version 2.62 (build 1641)

I was able to point the Roon Remote to the IP address of Rock and it’s now connected to the server. It looks completely different than the previous version of the app I had installed though. Much more like the desktop app. Was there a major update recently?

Hello @Mr_B,

Glad to hear that pointing the Remote directly to the IP address got you successfully connected to your ROCK again!

Regarding the interface: there hasn’t been a major visual overhaul of the app recently. The most notable recent change in the 2.62 update was the addition of the nugs.net streaming integration.

If you ever want to keep track of exactly what is included in our updates, you can always follow our official release notes here: Roon 2.62 is Live! - #2

Let us know if everything is running smoothly now or if you run into any other connectivity hiccups!

Thanks! I’m guessing my app hadn’t updated in a long time. Will follow the release notes to be safe.

@Mr_B ,

We are glad to hear your problem is solved!

Enjoy your music listening!

I spoke too soon. So this morning, I opened up the Roon app on my phone and now it’s stuck looking for the server again. (I am able to access the server on my desktop app.) When I click on configure Roon devices in the app, I can see the core kit and its IP address. Clicking on that opens my web browser, showing the Core Kit up and running.

@Mr_B ,

We are sorry to se you’ve got into this problem.

Can you please select an option “Choose different Roon server” on your phone and then “Need help finding your Roon Server” ?

After that please enter IP of your server and click connect.

Could you please let us know if that helps ?

If not, could you please share a few screenshots of an issue ?

Thanks.

Welp… When I reopened the app just now, it briefly searched, then found my server. Not sure what’s up, if it just needs more time to discover now? I did get a Pixel update pushed to my phone this morning, so maybe that had something to do with it? Apologies.

@Mr_B ,

we unfortunately can’t see list of your devices so can’t confirm that for sure.

But we did have our update rolled some time ago so if you had update only today so yes, likely the issue was a mismatched version.

As of now since your problem is solved we will close this thread.

However, if you face the problem again feel free to reopen it.

Thanks.
