BETA Release 2025.03

It is. But to be clear: right now I’m not interested in the displays, I want to know why your Pi 5 isn’t working as expected.

So here’s my last effort (for tonight):

If this does not work I’m afraid I need to get me one of those new Pi5’s…

Viola! Autodetect didn’t work, I had to go in and choose Display 2 and then enable the Ropieee extension, but very nice. This is RPi4 plus RPi Dac+ and Display 2.

Hey Harry, I’ve upgraded both to the latest beta. Both units are playing music fine, and the zone listing now fills the screen instead of being a square… but I can’t scroll the zone list so in both cases I can’t actually access the correct zone once I switch away.

I don’t have any screens not in the beta at the moment to check, but I’m 95% sure it used to scroll fine?

How many zones do you have?
Scrolling is indeed not working anymore.

13 zones. (7 driven by ropiee)

It fits 7 on the screen. dropping to a smaller font would help (although might make it more likely to fat-finger and choose the wrong zone)

If scrolling is a problem, is it possible to make the list be 2 columns? that’d fit 14 with no other change (although I suspect a 2-column list is more complicated than scrolling :slight_smile: )

No luck with this one booting up either. Similar to before, boot screen came up and Pi5 reset a couple of times but I was never able to access the IP interface. Thank you for your efforts!

Also not via ropieee.local ?

Correct. Nothing on ropieee.local either.

I’m almost afraid to ask…

Are you in the possibility to attach a monitor and try again?

@spockfish via HDMI?

Yep. I expect to see a little bit more. Without the touchscreen

Ok, Pi5 ordered. Bizarre how much (or less) resellers know about the actual product :frowning:

Anyways, the 2GB variant of the Pi5 has only been build with the ‘rev 1.1’, so that’s the one I ordered.

I’ll keep you posted.

I have ordered a micro hdmi cable. Should be here tomorrow. Will keep you posted!

@spockfish Ok, I was traveling for work this week and just got around to getting the Pi5 hooked up to a monitor via HDMI. On boot up, it gets stuck on this screen


Hi @Will_Grice ,

Took some time, but here’s a new build:

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

Thanks @spockfish . I tried this one and had the same result as before. Got the boot screen but couldn’t get to the device via IP. Was never able to get it to finish booting up and stream from it. Sorry, I wish I had better results but really appreciate your efforts!

I’m just… I’ve got 3 Pi5’s, all working beautifully.

With display 2 or music, or both? I can reflash and give it another go. I have the pi 5 rev 1.1 with display 2. I can remove the display and see what happens. Happy to keep troubleshooting!
