Release RoPieee 2023.05.1

Hi all,

This is just a quick [XL only] patch release that fixes the problem with no sound while doing Airplay 2.
Again, XL only, so regular RoPieee will not receive this update.

For those waiting: it will appear on your unit the next 24 hrs.

Enjoy!

One of my 6 showed the build 988 update (PI4 Digione), installed it, tested AIrplay working - all good so far. Thanks Harry!

RoPieee | Software to image.ropieee.io gives ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED when attempting to download any image. Looks like one can’t download a new image from anywhere at the moment as afaik that’s the only hosting site.

That’s been resolved now.

No problems here downloading the RPI4 version; and the image.ropiee.io link just gives me the default home page of the webserver used.

Thank you! <3 RoPieee is such a wonderful, wonderful piece of software.

Was that intentionally, the ā€œauto updateā€ function is greyed out and cannot be selected (?)

Did you select a reboot schedule first?

no I haven’t - just wondered if I should activate it, but saw I can’t

Auto update depends on a reboot schedule. If you do not have that configured, it’s greyed out.

@spockfish Hi Harry, since few updates I’m facing a strange behavior.
I run RoPieeeXL in beta mode to be able to edit some Squeezelite parameters (the ā€œfamousā€ -b parameter).
If I update RoPieeeXL to the last stable release and turn on beta mode I’m requested to install the last beta release that’s older then the last stable release.
in the screenshot you can see the last stable release (green arrow) and the notification of a ā€œnewā€ beta release (red arrow) that’s older than the stable one, is there anything that can be done to solve this behavior?
Thanks

I’m not entirely sure what you mean…

Indeed the last beta is older than the latest stable version.
And there’s nothing in the beta release that’s not in the stable.

So … I think you don’t need beta.
And indeed, if you go for the beta release you’ll receive the latest beta.

Thanks

But if I don’t run beta I don’t have the chance to edit the /opt/RoPieee/apps/squeezelite/run.sh file to insert the -b parameter and even if I’m already on a newer version I’m requested to ā€œupdateā€ to an older version

If you’re on the beta program it will indeed show the update to the latest beta, which can be older than the latest stable.

You can of course ignore the message.

Ok, that makes sense otherwise no new software version would be detected! Thanks Harry!

I’m seeing a bunch of devices on 5.1 and some still on 5.0 with no updates available…is there a clock ticking somewhere?

also some timezones show Asia/Singapore and others just Singapore…this seems odd

.1 is only available for XL

I thought everything was basically XL now? I don’t see any explicitly XL to download….or anywhere to turn on XL services tab…did I miss something?

No, there’s still ā€˜regular’ and ā€˜XL’. Except that:

  • I do not provide ā€˜regular’ images anymore, only XL
  • in the branding the ā€˜XL’ specific part is gone (except the name in the footer)
