2 allo/ropieee devices that conflict

Audio Gear Talk RoPieee

i have 2 allo digione streamers that conflict with each other on roon. i if have one playing the other won’t and vice versa. i have checked to make sure they don’t have the same IP address. i also reflashed the SD card for one of them and have a version of ropieee that is working well.

i have 2 other digiones on the network and roon handles them fine (all are running ropieee). i am running roon on a PC i switched to linux and swapped in a new solid state hard drive (the pc has no other duties).

i have checked on my router and all the digiones have non-conflicting IP addresses. i also used Fing to see if there were any other devices with conflicting IP address (none).

i have ordered a new digione from rabas; i have an extra rp4 so will put together a new streamer and see if it will not have this conflict.

Rebuild the sd cards of both units.

A few of have seen this problem over the years - with Ropieee - it seems that roon assigns both units the same internal id.

3

Do the units have different device names?

4

yes, but roon sometimes changes them so they are the same

5

i just rebuilt one of them; could rebuild the other…

6

I have a theory that whatever causes the ‘roon duplicate id’ problem can also cause occasional interruptions when playing. I think this is solved by rebuilding.

So would recommend rebuilding both.

7

No, that’s not correct. I’m talking about the device name in RoPieee.

8

it has different device names in ropieee, but ropieee.local keeps giving them the same IP address, even though the IP address is correct in roon, in my router app, and via Fing. i had to turn off all digiones, reboot router and then plug digiones back in to get ropieee.local to give separate IP addresses.

i just rebuilt one yesterday so is it OK to not rebuild that one?

10

Yes. No need to rebuild again.

11

This is wrong: if you change the device name from the default ‘ropieee’ to (for example) ‘myropieee’, you need to browse to ‘myropieee.local’.

12

i go to one device and then click on “devices” and they all show up with their IP addresses; that is how i can see the overlapping IP addresses

13

note that when i rebuilt it, i couldn’t get the latest versions of ropieee to work; luckily i had a 2022 version on my hard drive (for the rp3) and it is working

14

lately i’ve had the interruptions…

15

Make sure you run the latest version and make sure the units have different device names.

16

the latest version didn’t work; yes, they had different device names; and which is the “right” version for a digione with an rp3?

17

There’s only one version for the Pi3, see here RoPieee/docs/releases/2025_06_1.md at main · RoPieee/RoPieee · GitHub

18

i can try that again; it would not show up in roon or on ropieee.local; this is the version it is running: RoPieee 2022.02.2 (0071); rp3 version: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3; i have reserved the IP addresses for the 4 allos using my router app

Re-flash the SD-card with the latest version of Ropieee, and once this is done, power on the RPi, making sure that all other Ropieee devices are off.

Go to http://ropieee.local, and change the device name. For example …

After Ropieee is reconfigured, and reboots, type in the new link the browser will redirect to the new link, e.g., http://ropieee-study-wired.local. Then, go to the Audio tab, and set up the Allo DigiOne.

Repeat this for the other RPis, and give each a unique name.

That’s not even necessary, RoPieee these days will navigate automagically to this new url after configuring/rebooting :wink:
