Introducing RoPieee - A RoonBridge-to-go image for the Raspberry Pi

Audio Gear Talk RoPieee

@spockfish Hi Harry, first: Thanks for all the effort => great project!
Just installed beta on a pi3 with “stock” 7" display. Streaming is working fine, incl MQA up to 192/24 with my Meridian Explorer and incl. screensaver. But display remains in text mode and does not react on any “touch”. RoPieee Remote Control 0.1.0 Extension up and running, Control Zone setting synced with copy&paste. Any additional hint?
thanks for your support,
bye
Markus

Hi,

Did you try a restart of the pi?

Regards,

284

Our problem of RoPieee not being displayed as a Roon networked audio endpoint brings me to the latest Roon update: they say they changed transport protocol from UDP to TCP - which is sort of change from gas to oil ;). Might this be the source of our trouble - RoPieee ist still the UDP version and Roon Server etc. are already TCP based…?

285

Hi, how do updates to Roonbridge work with Ropiee? Is this automatically done? Thanks

286

Hi,

That’s done automatically yes. So it’s not the issue that @Geefes suggested. Listening to a RoPieee as we speak :wink:

The problem is simple: or there’s something with the DAC USB connection (which high highly doubt), or RoonBridge is not running for some strange reason, or there’s a network issue.

@Geefes did you already tried a RoPieee reboot?

287

I rather describe the update: Going from Ford escort to a Mercedes.

@spockfish Hi Harry,
I rebooted the RoPieee and my roon server => same status.

hi @Markus_Schoenberger,

How comfortable are you with SSH and the command line? Then we can check a few things.

Regards,

290

np, I’m ready

291

ok. here we go:

  1. login to RoPieee with ‘ssh root@ropieee’. password is ‘root’
  2. run the following command: ‘pacman -Q | grep ropieee’ and paste me the result
  3. run the following command: ‘systemctl status ropieee-touchui’ and paste me the result

Thanks!

292

yessir, I did everything with all possible permutations :wink: - to no avail. Will wait for your new version with some functional feedback on RooPieee’s web page…

293

Same question as Markus: do you know your way with SSH and the command line?

294

[root@ropieee ~]# pacman -Q | grep ropieee
ropieee 20170605-2
ropieee-remote 20170604-1
ropieee-web 20170605-1

295

[root@ropieee ~]# systemctl status ropieee-touchui
Unit ropieee-touchui.service could not be found.

296

btw: my PI and touchscreen were working with volumio & Co. fine

297

just to be sure: you have configured the default zone in the website? and the orientation?

298

Should be OK:

Ok. clear. the software is not installed. I assume something went wrong during installation as it pulls in a lot of packages. Good news is that we can fix this:

  1. login with ‘ssh root@ropieee’. password is ‘root’.
  2. run the following command: ‘/opt/RoPieee/lib/install_touchscreen’
  3. run the following command: ‘systemctl enable ropieee-touchui’
  4. run the following command: ‘reboot’

Everything should be fine then.

=> Will retry after a reboot …
