Roonbridge 1.8 player does not appear

I am having the same issue with Roonbridge 1.8. It shows up in the “About” menu of Roon but not in “Audio”. I use a version of Gentoo Linux called GentooPlayer made for the Beaglebone Black. I contacted the developer and he will not spend the time to support this further. Any way I could downgrade to Roonbridge 1.7?
