FYI: RoonOS 253 earlyaccess will move to 254 production automatically

[AMP (Andrew P)]

I just wanted to let you all know that since RoonOS isn’t something that’s under constant revision like Roon and ARC it’s not going to go through the same ongoing test → release cycle as those products.

We don’t want to have you end up orphaned on the earlyaccess branch of RoonOS so we’re going to setup the update server to migrate ROCK and Nucleus devices which were updated with RoonOS 253 earlyaccess to 254 production. This rule isn’t in place yet, but at some point in the next day you’ll see an update notification in Roon and once complete your device will be on 254 production.

Done. Thanks.

[danny (Danny Dulai)]

weird, does your show OS version at 227 even after restart of Roon?

[Suedkiez (Just a fellow user like you)]

I was about to ask

[danny (Danny Dulai)]

i was able to reproduce the mismatch, but it was fixed on restart of remote.

i think the bug is a stale cache of the core we are connected to in the remote

[Kopftelefon]

Do I have to take additional steps to trigger the update? I’m still on 253, with seemingly no update in sight.

[Suedkiez (Just a fellow user like you)]

Same here

Perhaps this helps:

@mikeb Instructions for the Reinstall directory are here: https://help.roonlabs.com/portal/en/kb/articles/roonos-reinstall-directory-instructions#Using_the_Reinstall_Directory You will need to use this file: roonos-production.bin (above download link edited to be the correct one for RoonOS) Short version is: Download the file linked above to your computer Mount the Data folder from your RoonOS device on your computer and navigate to the Reinstall folder Copy the downloaded file to the Rei…

Roon OS 1.0 Build 253 Observations

Yeah, it would have really, really helped if I had given you the correct file to download. That one was for Roon, not RoonOS. This is what I get for jumping in before that second cup of coffee… Here’s the correct file: The one you downloaded moved your Roon install back to production if you want to be on Roon earlyaccess then you need to use this one: roon-earlyaccess.bin

Thanks! I have seen these posts but couldn’t find them any more. This worked, running 254 now.
But I was under the impression that no manual intervention is necessary:

This rule isn’t in place yet, but at some point in the next day you’ll see an update notification in Roon and once complete your device will be on 254 production.

Is the rule in place yet? Still on 253, no prompt so far. I can do it manually, but wondering …

Ditto. If Roon is expecting it to roll automatically, it’s not happening. Doesn’t bother me functionally, obviously.

[simon_pepper]

I reinstalled to RoonOS 1.0.254 via the Production file in Reinstall folder.

[Suedkiez (Just a fellow user like you)]

Yeah, I know how it works. Just letting Roon know that if they are thinking it’s happening automatically as announced, it isn’t (for everyone)

@connor @danny

I see this in “About”:

Is this 254 wanting to be installed? Clicking on “Read change log” just takes me to the Root of “Roon Software Discussion”.

[Suedkiez (Just a fellow user like you)]

FWIW I don’t get that, for me it’s “You have the latest version installed”

[Olaf_Mueller]

I am also still on “Version 1.0 (build 253) earlyaccess” with no automatic update to 254 …

[Johnny_Ooooops (Listener in Chief)]

@AMP is there anything you want us to do to check expected behavior and/or just start process manually?

[CrystalGipsy (Resisting the flow!)]

Same issue here no option to update still stuck on 253

[Johnny_Ooooops (Listener in Chief)]

So now that early access is official, I’m still puzzled about this. Too much time on my hands obviously.

[Olaf_Mueller]

Core is on 1155 now … Rock is still on 253 … ???
