Hi beta testers,

A beta release for the coming 2024.03 release has been uploaded and will show up on your devices over the coming 24 hrs.

Pretty much stuff all over the place, so let’s have a look at the changelog:

  • NEW: warn for disk size being too small
  • NEW: show disk size on info screen
  • NEW: show detected USB DAC on audio screen
  • ENHANCEMENT: improve (low-latency) scheduling
  • ENHANCEMENT: update Linux kernel
  • ENHANCEMENT: update HQPlayer NAA component
  • ENHANCEMENT: improve HQPlayer NAA scheduling
  • ENHANCEMENT: update Squeezelite (LMS) component
  • ENHANCEMENT: update UPnP player component
  • FIX: toggling volume up/down on the display not working

I’d love to see some feedback as with the previous beta: a quick thumbs up/down and some specs of your unit(s).

Thanks!

Thumbs up so far!

Holo Red with Flirc remote, and very high rate NAA. Short listening session suggests that scheduling changes have resolved NAA packet drop issue. (No display so can’t help there).

The good news is that both units upgraded to v1418 fine. The bad news is that it looks like I need to buy some larger microSD cards. :rofl:

I have some issue after update this beta version. Wifi connection was disable, but I was connected RoPieee device by Wifi (ropiee.zzz.zzz) and manage conenction with my WiFi again. Right now connection is ok. Maybe this happned only when we use WiFi connection and on wired connection update will be ok.

Second everything works good:
Hardware: Pi4
Network: WiFi
Audio: HiFiBerry Digi2 Pro
Display: No
Remote: OSMC
Temperature of board - 41,4 C on line, 39 C standby

So I’ll also get it a try…

@spockfish , I noticed that the size is presented “<4g” or something like that. Why the “<”?

12

Because it needs to take into account that it can differ a few bytes here and there. Therefore it checks for boundaries. In the case of ‘<4GB’ it’s meant as: “it’s smaller or equal to 4GB”

Classe Audio Delta Pre does now accept DSD native. I will do some intensive testing later.

Thank You very much, Harry! :+1:

@Stephen_Cooper2 Which device of Yamaha do You have? I see information about Yamaha device. Do you have receiver with USB?

19

Just curious, how does Ropieee determine the DAC if you have more than one attached? My install currently reports my Modi Multibit but I also have a Khadas Toneboard attached that I was listening to yesterday.

It only reports the first DAC.
