BETA Release 2024.09

Audio Gear Talk RoPieee
1

Another BETA release is available.

I think the changelog speaks for itself:

  • IMPROVEMENT: update Linux kernel
  • IMPROVEMENT: update UPnP player component
  • IMPROVEMENT: use newer (and better) driver for Realtek 8821AU based WiFi dongles
  • FIX: ‘Airplay 1’ mode not working on Pi 5
  • FIX: Roon ‘stop’ command is not working when using remote controller
  • FIX: sometimes the reported memory size is incorrect
  • FIX: footer on logout page is broken

Not particularly exciting, but because of some WiFi dongles having issues I’m releasing this a little bit earlier than planned.

Have a great weekend!

Hi there, I recently installed HQplayer in Roon for my Ropieee xl charged dddac. Works great, but since the install I need to restart the streamer and /or HQplayer before the output appears in the setup screen of hqplayer. Can this be an issue in Ropieee? If yes, has this been resolved?

Hi,

I pushed out another beta build with some small bits and pieces, most important another kernel update.

Thanks

Hey Harry,

I’ve had a few hiccups with this release (1749) on the two I’ve tried it on.

The update of one unit seemed to complete but hang. The unit stopped responding or displaying anything on the screen (official screen), I ended up yanking power and when it came backup it all seemed fine.

The update of the other went through fine, but unfortunately my screen is no longer working properly (unofficial waveshare DSI), it’s not responding to inputs at all, and it’s also didn’t wake up when I hit play (music played, just not screen wakeup). This is an unsupported screen so in the grand scheme of things it’s my problem, but it’s been working for ~18 months perfectly so I’m guessing the latest kernel has affected the driver.

***Update - Sent feedback in case you’re interested: 14e13d3405dd63b8

Hi,

I pushed out another beta build. It contains a kernel update, a fix for a wifi scan issue and support for the InnoMaker DAC Pro.

Still nothing for Spotify, as that requires quite some changes.

@Math this should fix your WiFi scan issue.

Enjoy!

Thanks @spockfish, build 1755 fixed my screen issue again. I guess just a weird kernel quirk. :man_shrugging:
