This morning, Ropieee was stuck on the clock when playing audio. After reboot, it complained about Connection Failure. The extension has disappeared from Roon.
Flashed a new card – same story: no extension shown in Roon.

Any ideas, @spockfish?
I had to enable the extension again. Maybe related to the update to v99?
This appears to be the culprit:

-- Unit ropieee-remote.service has failed.Yes that’s the problem. My friends at ArchLinux updated stuff with results in this…
On it, will provide an update asap.
Ok @RBM, update is out there (100). Would be great if you or @Dick_Vliek can report back whether it works for you guys.
Reboot or reflash?
No regular update, no need to reflash. Reboot is enough and wait for it for 20 minutes.
Working! thx harry.
OK… Just rebooted. Connection failure screen again, but I’ll wait for the magic to happen in the background.
Maybe you have to reanable the extension in roon settings, i had to
Sorry this took a day guys. I was out for some hiking and missed the first post by @Dick_Vliek.
Whaat, you were superfast in my book
Nope – I checked. But it booted right through… So I guess it has not updated yet. GUI says 99 still.
No prob @spockfish – this all adds to the fun. Never wondered why you didn’t choose a more conservative distro for Ropieee? 
BTW: Why does booting halt for ~2 mins on network config?
I set the update interval to daily in the ropiee webinterface
Same here, Dick. I see next sync is scheduled for Sun 2018-04-29 20:26:55 CEST. That’s in 7 minutes. 
Yeah. The heuristics will change in the near future. As in: ‘daily’ means directly on boot.
The last point: are you by any change on wireless? I see it there too on my device.
Wrt to ArchLinux: yeah, I’ve could have gone for a more conservative distro, but that means (for the Pi at least) basically Debian which I consider not very healthy as every other solution is already using it.
However, I’m in the midst of resolving these issues by taking basically a ‘snapshot’ of ArchLinux. Idea is that if I do that a few times a year (say every quarter or so), I’m in control of what’s being pushed to the RoPieee devices and that software does not stop working ‘out of the blue’.
Thx Harry, now renaming the host and on to install my second ropieee
Yup… Though I noticed it on wired as well, but for a shorter time. No biggie.
I just put Arch on my Core NUC (and like it quite a bit), but snapshotting with timed releases sounds like the ticket for an appliance like Ropieee.
BTW: Next Sync has changed to n/a, but there does not seem to be anything special going on on the Pi. What should the update process look like?
please reload the webpage. I think it’s already done.
