BETA Release 2025.02

Hi,

Again very early, but I like the ‘burn in’ time :wink:

Anyways, this beta has only some minor stuff on board. Although the automatic firmware updates on a Pi 5 are actually pretty cool.

  • NEW: auto-update firmware on the Pi 5
  • IMPROVEMENT: update Linux kernel

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

where is the download link for the beta version ?

You need to first enable Beta updates in the web config, then wait for it to prompt you to upgrade to the latest Beta.

Updated two Pi4’s. I’m listening now and it’s working well.

pi4 working well here
(wifi, no display or remote, roon/airplay2/plexamp)

Two working here fine so far, both Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5. Lots of listening (Roon only) and no issues with official screen.

I updated a Pi 5 and it is working as expected for Bridge, and the bootloader updated too. Nice! Thank you!

I’ve pushed out another beta. Nothing too fancy: a kernel update, some minor (invisible) improvements all over the place, and some (more) downtuning of the Pi 5.

Enjoy!

I’m having an issue editing the zone name that’s currently “LX521.4MG P1mini” to “An LX521.4MG P1mini” it’s saying please match the format or something like that. @spockfish

Can’t be spaces as there are already spaces in the name? Too long I tried shorter but no dice…was this a regression before the last beta update just done? Still happening after the latest beta update

Hi Harry,
All my RPIs (3* RPI3 and 2* RPI4) upgraded perfectly.
Thank you for the good work, Frank.

Hi Harry
My one installation updated successfully with no WiFi issues (which had been my previous ongoing issue - probably helped by having installed a new router/mesh network) and everything working as expected including display and OSMC remote.
As ever keep up the great work!

It’s the decimal point that’s not allowed.
No regression, this has been here for a long time.

It’s been there a very long time, in the name that is. The problem is there is no indication of what is allowed or not

Yeah, the message should be clearer.

beta (2110) looks good here :+1:
pi4, 8gb memory, 16gb storage
wifi, no display, no remote
allo digione hat
roon, airplay2, plexamp

All three units updated fine here. (2 Pi4s and a Pi3 with display)

Both my Pi4s updated fine.

I have my Pi 5 light set to “Blink on update”. The light stays on solid green, even when an update was ready to install.

Mornin’!

I’ve pushed out another beta release. With the theme ‘squeezelite / LMS’.

@Evan pointed me to a discussion on the LMS forum (former Slimserver/Logitech Media Server and now Lyrion Media Server) about RoPieee integration, and specifically some things that could be improved.

So long story short: I’ve integrated those changes:

  • [squeezelite] support for DSD client decoding
  • [squeezelite] resampling support

Enjoy!

Thanks Harry
Updating my first endpoint now as the first one has shown as ready to update. I will play some DSD when completed
