Hello Everyone,
With this new Early Access release, we continue improving RoonOS 3.0. Along with minor bug fixes, we are also introducing a couple of new features: a timezone picker for RoonOS and a network diagnostics section, both in the WebUI and on the HDMI display.
We’re also improving HDMI display stability, including the pairing mechanism after a restart, along with other fixes. Also, the HDMI display is now able to display RoonServer update and restart phases
NOTE: You will need the latest Early Access build of RoonServer (#1686) to get the full experience.
Updating the HDMI display functionality
We added a couple more screens to the HDMI display; now it can reflect the update process of RoonServer and its restart:
Network Diagnostics in the WebUI
Located in the WebUI, Network Diagnostics provides insight into your network’s current state with a single click. Obviously, under normal conditions, you won’t need this section, but it’s a good tool to have if things go wrong:
Change log
- Implemented a server-status screen on the display when RoonServer is not running
- Implemented a display auto-return behaviour to Now Playing 30s after ESC
- Updated WebUI with Network troubleshooting section
