Hi,

This is the first beta release after the latest stable (2026.05).
It contains the following:

  • updated kernel
  • next to the USB realtime status, we now also have this for HATs
  • improve (yet again) wifi scanning in case of special characters in network names.

Enjoy!

One comment Harry: itā€™s a little confusing perhaps that the Information tab gives a software version that doesnā€™t match your forum post title, as here.

i.e. Iā€™m not entirely sure that Iā€™m testing what youā€™ve actually released today?

Hi Harry,
:+1:
My 5 RoPieees (3 x RPI3B and 2 x RPI4B) all updated without any issue.
Thanks again for the updates, Frank

Two RPi4s without display and one RPi3b with display 1 updated.

Had to manually reboot the RPi3b several times before it came back. WebUi kept telling me it ā€œfailed to completeā€ the install? A few reboots got it further, then removing all extensions and letting them repopulate and enabling them got it working.

Works flawless on my Holo Red.

Thanks for your work. :+1:

Hi Harry,
This morning I notice that my RoPieee display is not reacting on a touch on the play/pause knob.
Also pushing the knob of the connected USB HID does not start or stop playing. The volume-control of the HID is also not reacting.
On the display, when I push on the zone, the screen pops up with possible zones, so the display is reacting. Changing the zone is also not making the display or HID work correctly.

I rebooted the RoPieee, but the problem persists.

Is this a RoPieee-error, or is this a Roon-issue?
Kind regards, Frank.

Have you checked the extension in Roon\Settings\Extensions? Might try removing it then letting Roon create a new one and enabling the new one?

@bearFNF
Thank you for the suggestion. I rather wait for Harry, as if this is an issue in the Beta, we have a testcase. For me it is not important that it is not working, so I leave it as it is until Harry gives a go.
Thanks anyway for your tip Much appreciated.

Hi,

I donā€™t see anything peculiar in the first logs, except some ā€˜undervoltageā€™ messages. The amount should not be something to worry about, I guess..

Furthermore, everything is running, and the play/pause sequence is recorded and forwarded to Roon. And the extention is also running, so ā€¦ from the looks of it it should work.

However, Iā€™m not happy with the logging: I canā€™t really see if the proper command is sent out. Iā€™ve added some logging and will push out (tomorrow) another beta build.

I think you need to kick your Roon server, but if you can letā€™s wait until tomorrow. Would be great if we can validate this situation with the added logging.

Thanks

Hi Harry,
After a second reboot, or rather a first powercycle, all worked again correctly. Roon Core wasnā€™t restarted.
I hope I wiil be able to simulate it again with the new Beta.
Kind regards, Frank.
