It sounds your firewall is rather strict with outgoing traffic.
Anyways, to be able to send feedback you need ‘good old’ ftp access (port 20 and 21). In most firewalls this just means that you need to enable the ‘ftp service’ or something like that.
The 5 minutes boot time is rather strange: I pressume that your firewall also blocks NTP, but the fallback should take care of that.
Anyways, try to get me the feedback so I can have a look.
My new installs of RoPieee 2022.8.1-stable for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B are not working.
I have seven Raspberry Pi 3 Model B based DAC units. Five are a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3 board with a HiFiBerry DAC+ HAT with four running RoPieee 4.020 [stable] and one running RoPieee 366. All have Roon Bridge version 1.8 (build 943 stable). They connect to a Roon Optimised Core Kit with Roon version 2.0 (Build 1072 earlyacess).
When I looked at their web interfaces recently, they told me I need to do a fresh install using the latest version of RoPieee to keep receiving updates. (I hadn’t looked for quite a while. If they’re working, I tend to leave them alone.)
I downloaded and flashed the latest version of RoPieee (2022.8.1-stable) using Etcher. It doesn’t install, even if I leave it overnight. If I connect a screen, nothing is ever displayed. So I tried the process on another one with the same result.
So far, I’ve tried this on three devices. All have failed to install. Sadly, I didn’t use new 16GB microSD cards on two of them, and they’re now bricked. On the third, I tried the new install using a new 16GB microSD card. RoPieee still doesn’t install. However, I can put the old card in, and the device works again.
Yes, you picked it Harry. Discovered a couple of hours ago that I had the RPi4 image, not the RPi3 image.
Now going through the arduous process of fresh installs. It would be a lot easier if card reader/writers worked reliably, if at all. Some just never work. Some only work rarely. So frustrating.
I have a Pi 4 with a DAC hat…I loaded Ropieee on the SD card per the instructions in the manual. When I boot the black screen comes up saying “running rescue script”…black screen disappears and then nothing…no reboots
