Audio Gear Talk RoPieee

Hi,

I have released an early beta. Nothing fancy: it has a Linux kernel update and some fixes (this should fix your issue @Frank_M ).

I’m not planning on releasing soonish, but I wanted to have this out so we can do some extensive testing.

Thanks

Kind regards, Frank.

Hi Harry,
I think you nailed it again. The RPI that was slow on a regular base, is now as responsive as it should, also after more than a full day being powered on. That wasn’t the case with the previous releases.
Kind regards, Frank.

Hey Harry,

No problems with my upgrades so far. One thing I have noticed (no concerns, just mentioning for reference) is that if I last used Airplay on the endpoint then using the “remote update” page takes ~20-30 seconds to load, whereas on the other endpoints it’s instant.

Hi
I got RPI5 16GB connected to a Touch2 5" screen
Latest stable version seems to not support my screen (blank screen)
It may be that the latest beta version will support this screen

BTW: the screen works fine with my RPI5 but not with Ropieee

How do I get the latest (December 2025) Beta Ropieee version

Thanks

13

The 5" screen is not (yet) supported in RoPieee.

14

Thanks
Is it going to be supported?
When?

Thanks again

One more question.
How can I install Ropieee Beta on my RPI5?

THANKS

@Moshe_Zolotov
Go into the tap “Advanced” and set the “Update Channel” into “Beta”. Click then, at the bottom, on “Apply”.

I installed Touch2 5" screen on my 16gb RPI5 board. Configured with Beta versions updates. Currently operating it via the web interface. Playing via either Roon and via Hqplayer. Currently, the screen is blank.
Waiting patiently for Ropieee support of NAA with my TT2, for this screen.
Thanks

Hello, I love the Ropieee and have been using it with Plexamp to great success. I’ve been having difficulties with getting Spotify Connect to work reliably on my RopieeeXL 3B. I’ve tried the stable build as well as 2025.10 and 2025.12. While Spotify can see the Ropieee, it will not stay connected longer than a second or two. I’ve tried resetting the whole chain (router etc), swapping from wireless to wired and several different Spotify client devices.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Your DAC is ‘busy’. So make sure nothing else is running. I see that you have Plexamp enabled. If you don’t use it: disable it.

Gotcha. Thanks for taking a look. I would like to be able to alternate between Plexamp and Spotify. I’ll dig a little into what Plexamp is doing that survives a Ropieee reboot.

Update: Resetting the DAC resolved the issue and I can now swap between Plexamp and Spotify with no problem. Best guess is I closed a Plexamp client without disconnecting and the server held onto the Ropieee indefinitely.
