Roon Bridge running on BeagleBone but not found as zone

Roon Software Discussion Linux

Hi,
I recently received a pair of KEF LS50s and I am wanting to use Roon as my media server. I am currently running Roon Core for NAS on my Synology DS1513+ using the free trial and can play music through the USB input of the KEFs using my laptop as the zone endpoint. I would like to use my Beaglebone Black as the endpoint so I can free up my laptop, but Roon is not detecting it. I have Roon Bridge installed and running and my Beaglebone has the most recent Stretch Debian image on it (9.1 w/ GUI). Has anybody encountered this problem before or is there a step I am missing?

A few extra pieces of info:

  • I used the installation instructions from kb.roonlabs.com/LinuxInstall
    $ curl -O http://download.roonlabs.com/builds/roonbridge-installer-linuxarmv7hf.sh
    $ chmod +x roonbridge-installer-linuxarmv7hf.sh
    $ sudo ./roonbridge-installer-linuxarmv7hf.sh
  • Both my BBB and NAS are hardwired via Ethernet so there shouldn’t be any WiFi related problems
  • When using the start.sh script for Roon Bridge I get the response “Error: Failed to acquire exclusive lock” which I think means it is already running.

Thanks!

I use to use a BBB for my endpoint. I used the image provided at Computer Audiophile and installed RoonBridge with no problems. Can’t say for other images.

Are you referring to the guide here, or is there an actual .img file there I can download?

No. @Sallen I used this guide. There is a link to the image in the guide.

When I plugged a USB DAC, it appeared. Until that, no bridge appeared.
