Release 2026.08.2

Hi,

I’ve released another patch release that fixes 2 issues related to the new Convenience Switching. On top of that I’ve also added a switch (default ‘on’) to disable Convenience Switching completely, for example when you have a setup with more than 1 DAC and using multiple services.

Changelog:

  • NEW: add a switch to turn Convenience Switching off, for setups with multiple services on separate DACs
  • FIX: Squeezelite could keep the audio device locked when switched away from, blocking the next service from starting
  • FIX: RoPieee Spinner could get stuck repeatedly reconnecting when switched away from and back

Enjoy the weekend!

several of my display units 3b original 7" displays have hung at the restart requiring a full power off and restart. just FYI

also the update shows as 2026.08.2 (4009) [STABLE] for both 3B and 4B RPi models

That’s correct. Buildnumbers are now in sync.

works on Pi4 with Audiophonics hat w/o any problem. Set the switch to ‘off’ as I have no need for it.

BTW if you still need a receiver with HDMI for multichannel testing, please PM me. I have an old, NIB 5.1 Onkyo receiver sitting in my basement which I could ship to you by the end of September.

Works fine on RPI5+DISP2.

Since last Beta and with this release, establishing connection with Hqplayer is noticeably more solid, with (almost) no music cut offs.

Thanks

@spockfish Harry what is Ropieee Spinner? not seen this mentioned before and its not in the documentation pages…

what is happening with HDMI audio output?

I like the network loader image…very fast.

Good catch. I forgot to push the documentation changes. That’s done now.

Hi Harry. After the 2026.08.2 update, my endpoint does not show the dac anymore. I have a Topping E50 II and it worked until now. It says No DAc found. Feddback sent 59d41570168cdf35. Thank you!

Your logs seem perfectly fine, except that no (USB) DAC is seen whatsoever, but there’s isn’t even a notice of ‘some device’ being connected…

So has something changed on the connection part? Cable? USB Hub? Something like that?

I updated two of my Raspberry Pi 3bs (with HATS) and the automatic update froze. Had to manually reflash and reconfigure. Although I could see them on my network before reflashing, I couldn’t reach them via Roon, so I think there may be a problem with the auto update and/or Roon Bridge. All working properly now

I’m having the same issue. I haven’t reflashed yet, but I’ll do that in the morning.

Hi Harry,

This seems as good a place as any to ask this question. What is the minimum size for the micro SD card for the new version?

I don’t really know why, but the notion of paying USD $20 for a micro SD card is like fingernails on a black board for me. I turned the house upside-down and found two unused cards - a 4GB and a 32GB. Can I get away with the 4GB card?

This has come up because a friend, a musician who owns many thousands of CDs, has become interested in Roon. Advising him to look at Ropieee on a Raspberry PI reminded me that I meant to replace a Squeezebox Touch (yes, the same one from before you wrote Ropieee :slight_smile: ) back during the pandemic when you simply could get Raspberry Pis. Pis are stupid expensive now, relatively speaking, but given that I could actually get one now, I was happy enough to shell out seventy bucks for a 2GB Pi4. But the price of memory today is just, I don’t know, insulting.

8 gb is the minimum sd size.

No, nothing has been changed. I was just listening to music before the update.Now, it is ok, the dac shows up and it is working again. Thank you!

Thanks! I’ll use the 32.
