As I have now read elsewhere UPNP players are not supported so I had no network players available but our Marantz processor and a Marantx one box system both support Airplay so for the moment I set those up as our rooms. It became clear that this was being done on the server as opening up another Remote link from a laptop immediately showed the same progress. I then used one remote to select the music store network location and left it to build its database. The remote and the server were then linked. Linking remote to server was pretty easy by opening up the TCP and UDP ports: Roon server installed easily on WHS but this is a pretty locked down server environment so I knew I was going to have to do some firewall adjustments to get the Remotes to talk to it. Initially I had downloaded the full Roon but quickly realised due to the license structure that I should install Roon Server on our server and then Roon Remotes elsewhere. We run jRiver Media Center on the server purely as a music server primarily due to the excellent JRemote interface for iPad, Gizmo for Android and Theatre view for Windows Tablets. These are stored on a server running Windows Home Server (WHS) 2011 which has great monitoring and backup features. My usual setup is music stored in flac format mainly CD quality but some HiRes and a few MP3. I thought I would write my experiences of installing and using Roon for the first time. Well I am a Roon Newbie but very much an oldie to audio streaming.
