Hy @spockfish! First of all i would like to thank you for your work!
My question is that is it possible to port RoPieee to a Cubox-i?
I have a Cubox-i2eX for years now. I purchased it before Sonore made the Sonicorbiter SE and used it as a music player with Voyage MuBox with a Bladelius USB DAC.
Now I have Roon on my home server, and with Armbian and RoonBridge install the Cubox-i is “refurbished” as a Roon endpoint. I think that this solution is not so optimal, the OS is not optimized for audio playback, like RoPieee.
What do you think?

@spockfish
Any luck with this Harry? I have an OSMC RF remote I got from IQAudIO that worked great with KODI on the Pi … maybe we could get it working on the Ropieee setup?

I would also love to have a remote for RoPieee!!! Especially for volume control of my IQAudio DigiAmp+.
Keep us updated on that! Great work! i really love RoPieee!

I’ve got one lying at home.
Unfortunetaly I’ve been to busy lately to try it out, but it’s definitely on my list.

Great! Is volume control on the list? What type of control did you order?

187

I’ve got an RF based OSMC controller (https://osmc.tv/store/product/osmc-remote-control/).
And it’s working already.

So the coming week there will be an update that lays the foundation for this. So hopefully this will be available within a month or so.

Hey, thanks for the info. Sounds great. Cant wait to test it. I will directly order one!

189

I’d like to see 100% compatibility with the new “display” features of Roon 1.5 Build 354, which is really a great addition.

190

Would it be possible to provide an option to change the colour of the clock screen saver? The white can be a bit glaring in the deep of night, and a nice blue or green would be cool. Thanks Harry.

So @Nathan_Wilkes…

Any idea about a good color? And why is lowering the contrast no enough?

192

Hello @spockfish. Does the contrast adjustment only apply to the clock? I thought it adjusted the display too?

As to colour, I would go with something close to LED green, but I don’t think there would be much agreement. You would first have to decide whether to allow a custom colour to be specified in the GUI in principle (whether web or display).

Hi @Nathan_Wilkes,

Right now the contrast setting is applies to the whole screen. But I could imagine, that instead of a color change, you can set the contrast for the clock specifically.

Just wondering what the best option is.

194

I would like different contrast settings for clock and now playing, not a biggy though.

Maybe two settings would work well… but as @Dick_Vliek rightly implies, not a high priority.

This would be interesting to get feedback on the feasibility. The USBridge is currently only sold with the Sparky board. @spockfish had confirmed that Ropieee can’t be made to work with Sparky because of the outdated kernel. How about we attack this from a different direction. Allo had said the USBridge doesn’t work with the RPi, however it does use the GPIO. Could we get the RPi to emulate the I/O of the Sparky and use it with the USBridge a then we could use Ropieee? Not a Linux expert, but I’m sufficiently disappointed with the USBridge with dietpi that I’d be willing to use my equipment for testing.

197

having red and blue would be nice, also having a ‘dim’ setting when the screen went to clock would be nice.

198

and… what about an “OFF” (no clock) option when nothing is playing? :wink:

199

That’s already there - you can have a blank screen (no clock) when nothing is playing…

200

checked before posting as I was pretty sure too it already is there but… can’t find it anymore :neutral_face:

201

It’s there on mine (build 181) - settings screen on the display itself - “blank screen on timeout”.
