I now have Roon TUI running on Solus Budgie Desktop, I installed both the rust packages, namely Rust and Rustup, then did the following in terminal:
cd /opt/local/dev
git clone https://github.com/TheAppgineer/roon-tui
cd roon-tui
cargo run
Play / Pause could have a more purposeful keybinding, such as <SPACE> or CTRL + <SPACE>?
Could quit have a more purposeful keybinding? Q will most likely not be optimum, perhaps CTRL + C is the best for now?
Bringing this back here, because it’s no longer a RoonBridge issue. Not directly at least…
Starting music in the RoonBridge zone with a remote roon device, while logged off, did not work a workaround after all. Not only is pausing in Roon TUI not possible, , volume cannot be controlled by the PC keyboard, nor Roon TUI. Must be a Roon remote. So for me, what’s the point?
In desperation tried the Squeezelite workaround, and everything looks great, all except that there is no sound coming out of the speakers. Can’t even get sound if I use a Roon remote to change the volume. This is what I did…
In general global keybindings, those that work independent of the active view, cannot use a single character key. In a pre-release state I used ‘q’ to quit, but then I implemented search and wanted to support a search for Queen as well .
Ctrl-Space could work for Play / Pause, is this a binding used in other media applications?
I run roon-tui, roon bridge and also watch videos etc on my linux desktop that has pulseaudio and it works fine without stopping services by using pavucontrol, a GUI for pulse.
To get roonbridge to output over ALSA you just need to set the audio output you want to use to ‘off’ in the configuration tab of pavucontrol.
Thx, that simple! If you search for “turn off pulseaudio” you find all sort of useless or outdated hints.
Downside is that you have to turn it off and on each time you use roon or sth else.
This is the biggest update Roon TUI has had till this point. I hope the new features turn out to be useful.
Re-select your profile!
The first time you run version 0.0.6 you should go to Settings → Profile in the Browse View to re-select the profile you want to use. This is a one time action resulting from the reliance on the multi-session keys of the Roon API. Without this step the default (first created) profile will be used!
Queue Modes
This release introduces, what I called, Queue Modes. Queue Modes are used to keep the music going when the queue runs out of music. The Queue Mode every Roon user is familiar with is Roon Radio, where Roon adds tracks to the queue based on the last played track and its algorithms.
Roon TUI adds two more modes, which you might know from my Random Radio extension, being Random Album and Random Track. These modes add a random album or track from your library to the queue, just before the queue runs out. By starting playback on an empty queue, while in one of the random modes, the random selection starts off.
Hi Jan I thought I would give this another go and see if it finds my core, but sadly no luck.
Thought I would try the Linux Version in Ubuntu on Windows and while it runs it has the same issue of No Core found, so suggesting that it is something to do with my environment.
I will wait and see if anyone else has this and manages to have this and fix it.
Ha ha your input is 100% appreciated… Right up to this point
This machine is my dbPoweramp Ripping station which I want to keep on Windows as it goes through a lot of CD’s each month.
I have a Mac Mini M1 and a couple of Raspberry Pi’s and a fairly fast non Raspberry Pi single board computer that I sometimes use as a desktop device. When I find some time I will try both and run from source on the SB device as that is a cool device.
Yes I have reported this to Jan before and it looks to be a Windows Defender alert on the Zip file
Doesn’t happen with the exe though, so a bit strange.
I have tried that multiple times, and it makes no difference.
That is why I think it is something in my environment.
Roon runs perfectly on these machines.
