rooExtend-Box: Plug-And-Play for Roon Extensions

[Leif_Jonsen]

Hi DrCWO,

I bought a rooExtend last year to be able to digitize my LPs. I never got it to work but now I want it to do.

Unfortunately, it is not without problems to get started even though I have a little technical knowledge. I cannot get rooExtend to accept my rooPlay license and when I want to create a rooPlay radio station, Roon informs me that there is no radio station at this URL.
Maybe it is connected with the license problem.

Should the RPi4 have the rooplay license activated?
BTW on rooExtend service page, it says about rooPlay license “License activation counts reached to max activation counts”

Hi @Leif_Jonsen,
please send me your rooPlay License Key so I can check what goes wrong.
If not licensed you cannot create a Radio station.

I think that’s my license are correct.
I didn’t mention that I have got radio station to work last year and I could hear channel sweep ect.

I send you my license in a pm.

Hi DrCWO
I have the the Quick keys control that I’m learning to integrate into my system, the quick keys default shows the music track timer as a count up display, How can i change this to a count down timer, showing only time remaining for the track? This is very important feature for me to show/indicate remaining time of track!

Thanks
Chris

Currently the timer only showns the play time and not the remaining time
I’ll check if it is possible to integrate an option to select backward counting. If yes this will be part of the next release.

AWESOME, This is very good news! Thanks for the update!

Will still take some time to release as I have a big update for rooPlay and hopefully the new rooSpot that allows streaming of Spotify

Dear Dr CWO following the latest BluOS update my Rooextend/Microsoft Dial/Roowatch has all stopped working. The Rooextend Box unit simply shows a double flash every 1 seconds. I have tried a force update as per p49 of the manual without any effect. What do you advise?
