Description of Issue
Hello, I am in the first days of my trial of Roon. Using Audirvana on regular basis. Hoped to assess Roon but have not been able to set it up. When trying to connect to my Roon Server from Roon Remote (via Wifi) I:
a. Either get a screen where Roon Server appears to be “Initializing” but never get a green
b. When I turn off WiFi and turn back on I get a green “connect” button.
I enter and have to log in. Then the login procedure just cycles continuously
Have tried what I have found in posts to be solution proposals:
Rebooted all devices
Switched off antivirus and firewall both end
Reinstalled roon server and roon remote app
Tried using android phone as remote app
No deal…
Would very much appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you
Try as roon (not roon server) on the mini and when it starts up select use this Mac I think it is as the core…not the roon server that’s indicating as initializing
There seems to be a bug in roon server on macs (older ones especially) for b970
Ben here with the support team, thank you for taking the time to write in, and welcome to the community! I wanted to first apologize for the delay in my response, we’ve recently gone through some internal changes with our team and therefore a few threads fell in between the cracks.
I wanted to check up on the status of your issue connecting to your core using Roon server. Were you able to sort things out? As @wizardofoz mentioned, we do have a known bug with Roon server users getting stuck on initializing with a Mac-based core. The good news here is that we’re close to releasing a fix for it! That said, running the Roon-all-in-one app shouldn’t give you any issues.
