New to Raspberry PI and Ropieee, but just bought my first RPI with screen and managed to install the beta without any problems. So far so good and great stuff - many thanks 
Just one question. Is there a way to set a fixed IP-address instead of using dhcp?
Once again, many thanks for the hard work put into this.
RoPieee does not support fixed IP, only DHCP.
But my RoPieee endpoints kept their IP since day 1 without any intervention.
You can assign a fixed IP based on MAC address, keeping the RPi on DHCP though.
Just reserve the IP address in your router. In some routers you can just select it on a list and others you will manually have to type in the MAC address.
Hi Nathan,
Iām not sure what you mean with the hyphens and spacesā¦
Are you talking about the zone names? Because that accepts hypens and spaces.
The hostname not because the standard doesnāt allow it, but the hostname is also not something the user sees or uses.
Thanks,
Harry
Hello Harry,
I must have been trying to set the hostname to something like āKitchen-Piā when trying to set the zone to something like āKitchen Monitorā and gotten confused on what was actually causing the error. I am sorry about that.
Regarding hostnames, what standard are you referring to? RFC952 allows ā-ā, but I am not an expert in these things. As you say, it doesnāt matter, as long as I setup the DHCP reservation correctly.
Regarding showing up as an endpoint in Roon, @wizardofoz, I (incorrectly) expected it to show up without a powered DAC attached, similar to how my Roon Core does.
Finally, I wonder if there is a typo on the commit screen: should āRone Zoneā be āRoon Zoneā?

No worries!

Youāre absolutely right. Iāll fix that.

Yes! Iām refactoring the web page from RoPieee and just spotted it myself the other day 
Hey @spockfish
After 30 minutes or so of music playing, Iām losing covert art.
Changing albums doesnāt fix it, restarting the extension doesnāt fix it, rebooting the Roon Core doesnāt fix it - only rebooting Ropieee fixes it.
try removing the extn in roon and then re pairing itā¦might be worth a shotā¦mine stay there for hours no issues at all
I hope its not the black artwork issue thats in roon thoā¦I think there is a fix in the pipe for thatā¦see how many images are there in roon
Hi Sean,
Is this something structural? As in: I can repeat this?
Iāll try to see if I can put some debug information for this in the app and provide an update later so we can investigate.
And yeah, this is the time to play that record 
Thanks Harry. The only structure I can repeat so far is the above, regarding what does and doesnāt fix it.
Iām still trying to find a pattern on what causes it. Soon as I see a pattern (and repeat it myself) Iāll let you know.
Yes been listening to Tidalās new Linkin Park playlist today. Sad day indeed. Gone way too soon 
The old man is having the same issue. This was after a few hours of listening. Iām trying to find a pattern to reproduce it but itās not easy.
Song and artist and album info all change, without issues. Only album art doesnāt.
I had a similar experience today but my play button was messed up too but the other screen was doing fine
I just had flashing, like the square around cover art and the buttons were flashing. Now itās all gone blank. Eep. Music uninterrupted. Just touchscreen issue.
Again restarting the roon extension doesnāt fix it - only rebooting Ropieee does for me.
Hmmm. Okā¦ that doesnāt look good. Tomorrow Iāve got some time to have it running for a couple of hours and do some analysis.
@wizardofoz can you tell me that for you this happened also after listening to music for some hours (like Seanās dad?)
Regards Harry
@spockfish , weāve encountered the blank image problem a few times. Interestingly, it didnāt happen for perhaps 7-9 hours of classical āradioā this morning / afternoon, with some long works, but then it occurred after only a few hours of early jazz during dinner (2-5 minute pieces, with a new cover every time). It is almost as though an array ran out of memory.
I am using ropieee as a monitor only.
Nathan
Ok thanks Nathan.
Iāll try to get this reproduced today.
Iāve lost all use of the touch screen too, but Iāve not had it for a week or so.
Iāve three pis running the beta, all reporting different Linux release numbers. Oddly the one which ROON recognises the extension hasnāt even got a touch screen, but the one that does, cannot force a refresh of the extension, the latest reports 4.9.36.1 while the one with touch screen read 4.9.34.1. The ROON extention is listed as being 3.50.
Could someone remind me what Which Roon Zone should the touchscreen control. Make sure you type it exactly as known in Roon. means.
Maybe that the problem.
@spockfish I canāt recall what was playing before that or for how longā¦but itās only happened the one.
It simply means that the Roon zone should be called exactly how it is called in Roon itself: upper case, lower case, spaces etc.
