RoPieee - Feature requests

@spockfish I would not mind seeing a few options on how the artwork and metadata appear on the touchscreen. The addition of ‘year of release’ and some different layouts would be coolio…

@spockfish when you have time, can you please add support to change HQPlayer NAA’s advertised name (service name)? for now, i was able to hack it myself (on both rootfs partitions)

  • i created config file /etc/default/networkaudiod:
root@HQPemb:/run/media/rootfs-sdc3# cat etc/default/networkaudiod 
NETWORKAUDIOD_NAME=HQPnaa-D50s
#NETWORKAUDIOD_LOGFILE=/data/log/networkaudiod.log
root@HQPemb:/run/media/rootfs-sdc3# 
  • and modified /etc/systemd/system/networkaudiod:
root@HQPemb:/run/media/rootfs-sdc3# diff -u etc/systemd/system/networkaudiod.service{.orig,}
--- etc/systemd/system/networkaudiod.service.orig
+++ etc/systemd/system/networkaudiod.service
@@ -7,6 +7,7 @@
 ExecStart=/opt/RoPieee/apps/hqplayer/networkaudiod
 Restart=always
 RestartSec=2
+EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/networkaudiod
 
 [Install]
 WantedBy=default.target
root@HQPemb:/run/media/rootfs-sdc3#

Oh is that a new option?

Never mind. It is not. But I’ll add this with the next release.

just out of curiosity…why would you change it when it takes the name assigned to RoPieee combined with the dac name/type?


thx, much appreciated; one less reason to disamble my rPI + 7" Display :slight_smile:

networkaudiod honors a bunch of other environment variables, but i don’t know if they are documented anywhere; i don’t know what some of them do by looking at their name:

root@rpiz2:~# strings $(which networkaudiod) | grep NETWORKAUDIOD_
NETWORKAUDIOD_PIDFILE
NETWORKAUDIOD_TRACE
NETWORKAUDIOD_LOGFILE
NETWORKAUDIOD_PORT
NETWORKAUDIOD_IPV6
NETWORKAUDIOD_DEVICE
NETWORKAUDIOD_CHANNELS
NETWORKAUDIOD_PERIODTIME
NETWORKAUDIOD_NAME
NETWORKAUDIOD_PCM
NETWORKAUDIOD_SDM
NETWORKAUDIOD_CONFIG
NETWORKAUDIOD_BACKEND
NETWORKAUDIOD_DISPLAY
NETWORKAUDIOD_MCASTIF
root@rpiz2:~# 

just cosmetics & OCD; i had a dedicated NAA in the past, and i’d like to keep the old name; i have different hostname prefixes for Roon & HQPlayer “endpoints”

@spockfish note: NAA 4.4.0 was released earlier today; if it’s not too late, please include it in your next release

Hi @spockfish

Can we disable the flashing ‘update available’ on Touchscreen ?

It is really aggressive and distracting

Even if it is just a fixed message and not flashing, would be an improvement

How about a static message (not blinking) on the clock screen? That implies that you are not actively using it and may be less annoying. I’d also vote to have a switch on the web configuration to disable it.
