After a recent update I no longer see my Ropiee as a zone choice. Also I no longer see it under Roon settings → Extensions. What am I missing? How do I re-add the extension?
I don’t recall this being that complicated, but the only direction I’m seeing on Windows is build a linux VM, add docker, and go thru all of that to add Roon Extension Manager, which isn’t something I did in the past.
You should check name in Roon control zone in Ropieee/Remote. The name of endpoint should the same in Roon and Ropieee.
Regards
Check ropieee webui, check roon settings/audio, check roon settings/general.
Try rebooting everything.
What are the lights on the RPi doing?
Also, the extension is for remote and should not effect seeing the zone in Roon.
Yeah I’ve had that issue in the past, but currently I don’t see it as my extension list is currently blank, how do I re-add it. The Ropiee side is working fine as is unless rebuilding it automatically adds it to the extension list in Roon?
It should automatically be added. Check remote batteries? Try unplugging it and reconnecting? Switch usb ports?
Try reboot Roon server and update to the latest version. For my this works a few times. Second Ropieee gui and Roon must the same name.
If you are using USB make sure your DAC is powered on and connected via a known good cable.
Are you using a Raspberry Display as well or just as an endpoint?
Thx for the replies… I was assuming wrongly I needed the Extensions to be configured by me… per your replies its not the case. Lights look normal, its getting an IP address, I can get to it on a web browser, only I don’t see it on my Router as a client. I’ll post back when I get to the bottom of that.
Just to make sure: have you properly configured the right zone in RoPieee? If you leave it on ‘unknown’ the extension will not show up.
So as I said I can get an IP address. Its not showing up in Roon as it’s no longer detecting a USB attached DAC. I tried both my normal (been working with it fine for a year or two) Topping and cheaper mobile usb style DAC. Both just list “not detected”. I tried both with the usb dock/extension I’ve been using and just straight into the Rasperry pie USB ports. I dunno, maybe this pie just is failing?
Can you send me feedback?
Just to close this out. The issue I had was a couple of things. First the OTG USB NIC/Hub that I bought from Amazon, partially fried. It would provide power, but not USB Hub. Secondly I think my SDcard is failing, swapped with a new as the original started throwing windows event log read/write errors. Finally I got a “new” Pi Zero W2 as I was convinced the old one was bad, instead I got shipped a older Pi Zero 1.1? Which doesn’t boot Ropiee images and got me down a rabbit hole that kinda didn’t exist. I’m back to the original Pi Zero W2, no USB NIC, and playing tunes to my Topping D90SE via Wi-Fi for now.
I got all that sorted and am back up.
