Great release!
I really like the improvement to zones (i.e. the possibility of making them private or not). Right now, I play around with an old, rooted nexus 4 phone that acts as a remote and streams roon via dlna to my AV receiver. I can leave it somewhere near the receiver and control it from another phone or laptop. Great fun! Now waiting for apple to publish the iPad app.
I don’t believe that is possible. PiCorePlayer doesn’t use the standard Raspbian distribution, but microcore Linux, which is very stripped down, I believe…
Good job Roon! Why is it that with every new release, I find myself on the other side of the word, thousands of miles away from my setup Can’t wait to go back home in the weekend!
I keep getting this error message: “Radio: Unable to playback this channel. Its address may have changed, or it may be temporarily unavailable.” Is there a way to fix this?
The situation with 1.2 is getting worse but maybe I am not doing something correctly. Under the prior version I was using Roon to control streaming to a Raspberry Pi 3 running the latest PiCorePlayer attached to my processor via HDMI. This worked perfectly with the Pi streaming 192kHz 24 bit files via HDMI to my processor which confirmed 192kHz data.
So now I have installed Raspbian Lite and Roonbridge on another card on my Pi. All seemed to install fine on screen. Roon sees the Raspberry (two versions, one regular and one HDMI). I select the HDMI version. I try playing a track but Roon reports that on a 24 bit track it is truncating to 16 bit. and sample rate is being converted from 192kHz to 48kHz.
Hi Carl - Basically RoonServer is installed on MacBook, So you are suggesting install full “Roon” on MacBook instead of RoonServer so we can enjoy 1.2? Thats a good point.
This has just happened to me as well. I was listening to the BBC Radio 3 stream (the lower quality one - I’m outside the UK), when the playback stopped and this message popped up on the playbar. Pressing Play got the stream going again - until the next time I suppose.
I should add that internet is a piece of wet string around here (4 Mbit/s), and I was concurrently downloading a Raspbian distribution. Could be network congestion?
Tunein radio: When I put in links from tunein, I get the “unable to play this channel” error.
what format is the link from tunein supposed to be in?
Examples formatted like these from Roon aren’t working:
Roon can play back stations that stream in MP3 or AAC formats, and
also supports TuneIn web page URLs. You can usually find a streaming URL
on the radio station’s website, or you can use the URL of a TuneIn web
page. For example, KCRW’s streaming URL looks like this: http://newmedia.kcrw.com/legacy/pls/kcrwsimulcast.pls
And their TuneIn web page URL looks like this: http://tunein.com/radio/KCRW-899-s32152/
Just reverted the Pi 3 back to PiCorePlayer and 192kHz 24 bit back feeding properly again (reported on the processor - Marantz AV8801). Seems that there is some issue with the Roonbridge ALSA HDMI implementation.
