Now we’re back to normal (both ‘regular’ and XL on the same base), I’d like to regularly push things to the beta channel.
Normally I’d like to release once per month and release at least one beta.
So here it is, the first beta towards ‘2022.05’ with the following stuff:
NEW: support for the Mediatek MT7612U Wireless adapter
IMPROV: update base packages
IMPROV: add fallback for naming of external WiFi adapters (USB)
IMPROV: bump Linux kernel
FIX: ‘fancy name’ of XL services don’t follow hostname change
PS: if you want to use beta, change the release channel on the ‘advanced’ tab to ‘beta’ and follow instructions. After the reboot it will notify you within a few minutes that an update is available.
another RPi4b seems to be restarting every 15 secs or so in a boot loop the last 2 I tried to force a feedback but there was no code number…Please ignore this one 1d76542625427c55 as I was getting the web address for a feedback
There’s only one feature here: an “UPnP-2-Roon” bridge.
What it does is that it uses the Roon Squeezebox compatibility to bridge an existing UPnP device and make it available for Roon. This means you need to enable Squeezebox functionality in Roon for this to work.
It works pretty straightforward (you can find it in the XL menu under ‘UPnP Bridge’). For now I’ve exposed the minimum amount of settings, let’s find out if we need more.
So… get your old UPnP device and fire it up!
And yeah, let me know how it goes
Interesting! It works with LMS / Daphile too: I configured my SOtM sMS200 as UPNP / DLNA device, RopieeeXL with UPNP bridge found it on the network and made it “visible” to Daphile as if it were a Squeezelite device.
… it works !!!
For the DSD and multichannel test:
Multichannel : Roon converts to stereo and it doesn’t work if I force multichannel in Roon,
DSD: Roon converts to PCM and it doesn’t work if I set it to DOP
I seem to be missing something, I’ve enabled the beta software and carried out a reboot, but cannot see “UPnP-2-Roon” bridge under RopieeXL tab. Suspect I’ve missed a step, but not sure what I have done wrong ?
Are you running the new RoPieeeXL version or the old one? If you are on the old one there are no more update available, stable or beta.
To move to the new version you need to start from scratch: download the image, flash it and boot your rpi.
This is how the new version in numbered …
Thank you for the reply, it was a school boy error, I enabled the beta software but forgot to install it. Can now see the correct software version and can see the following tab UPnP Bridge inter RoPieeeXL, which i’ve selected Apply. However Roon is still showing “Searching for Squeezebox devices etc “ even though Enable Squeezebox support is active ?
