rooPlay - From LP, CD and iPhone to Roon

[Cesar_Mejias (César Mejías)]

Hi @DrCWO congratulations for this great product! I’m been happily using it for several months, but after an unexpected reboot of my raspberry Pi all my roo licenses disappeared, I successfully reenter rooWatch and rooDial but I can not do the same with RooPlay even though i’m sure the license is correct. Any idea? Thanks in advance

I came across it in this post where it’s being used by a service that recognises what’s playing on a a live radio station in real time.

Very cool API. Put it on my list for integration. Will be useful for LP playback too

Hi @Cesar_Mejias,
I’m back from holidays now

Please e-mail me the License key of your rooPlay to info@definiteaudio.de and I’ll check.

No worries, I managed myself to work it out (I don’t know how…) I just restarted (three times) my raspberry Pi and my ROCK and the license appear back again. Thanks anyway!!

Hello there @DrCWO.
How are things going with the integration of the Roon Audio Relay API ?
I am considering buying a turntable, but are unsure about the Victrola TTs. I would rather go for something else and use rooPlay.
Maybe you can update us on the progress?
Danke

Hi @ToKr,
rooPlay can be used with a TT as escribed in the Manual of the rooExtend Box. You have to set up a Radio Station in Roon to use it. You also need a ADC with RIAA to convert the input signal to USB. You can use the cheap Behringer UFO 202 for first testing. Other suitable devices are shown on the rooPlay website. I use the RME ADI-2/4 Pro that has built in RIAA so I need no preamp.

The Roon Relay API woks the same but you don’t have to manually setup a Radio Station. Beyond that, the API offers no further advantages.

The last three weeks I was out of office visiting the HighEnd Show in Munich and a holiday break. The next releases includes the Relay API but it it not yet released. A Beta is available and if you like I can add you to the Beta Testers group.

Will continue working on the next release during the next few weeks.

Hi there, any chance the API will mitigate the latency/delsymthat the radio station based solution suffers from?

[DrCWO (C.W. Oehlrich)]

No, the API uses the same buffer length and cannot be changed. So same delay. Sorry
