BETA Release 20260818

Hi All,

I’ve released a new beta release.
Turns out I’ve overlooked something with RoPieee’s Convenience Switching:

When using Roon, there are 2 alternatives besides Roon’s native transport (RAAT): Airplay and HQP.

In this scenario, when you start playing with Roon via Airplay, RoPieee is not aware that this is the same session and happily stops Airplay (or HQP for that matter).

I’ve introduced a setting ‘Controlled by Roon’, for both Airplay and HQP, that informs RoPieee of this (and thus leaves the services alone).

@Moshe_Zolotov would be great if you can test this, because this should resolve the issue for you.

Thanks!

There are actually three: Squeezlite is also included and is supported by Roon.

Waiting for the Beta to load

Hi, did you already find the time to test?

I’ve tested it myself, and I want to release this asap :wink:

Thanks!

Installation of the beta went well on rpi5+disp2 feeding two USB DACs.

When playing Roon only, all is well both DACs are locked by Roon on the Audio tab

When switching to Roon via Hqplayer, the audio tab shows both DACs locked by HQPLAYER, then after a second or two it shows both in IDLE state. No music is delivered to either dac

When switching back to Roon only source, than all is well again

Thanks

Should there be any other input in the Service Name box

No. Why? You can put in there whatever you want.

My bad!

Forgot to set the new parameter “controlled by Roon” (see above post). Now, all is well with roon+Hqplayer.

Sorry for the late response (other stuff to attend)

Thanks again
