Harry, willl we be able to easily switch to main channel or will it require a full reinstall.
Great work Harry. Much appreciated all of your efforts on so many things you have put in of late. Hope you get some donations 
See the bottom of the www.ropieee.org page for how to donate 
My failed updates is resolvedā¦Harry to the rescue and all sorted 
thankfully via the command line, not having to dismantle the display case.
Guys, great news!
Iāve got hardware rendering reliably working, which means that scrolling texts are back on.
This means a slight change of plans though: I first want to test this out in the beta channel, so weāre gonna prolong the beta period just a little bit.
Not sure when I can deliver this. Iāve got it working over here, but I need to do quite some cleaning up before I can make this available, so be patient 
Thanks

wow! 
Hey Harry @spockfish
My old man has been leaving his Ropieee Touchscreen Digi+ PRO on all week since the screen turns off.
His auto daily reboot is set to 3AM.
He said last night after he finished Roon-ing, he watched some Wimbledon 
Then before he went to sleep, he checked that the Touchscreen display had turned off, as usual - and everything was good so he went to sleep 
This morning he woke up and the screen was on, and it showed the 2 lines about āRoon is not connectedā so he was surprised 
the screen was on when he woke up.
I just asked him what version extension he is running and itās 0.3.3 still.
So it seems it did the usual 3AM reboot but for some reason it didnāt update but also the screen didnāt go to sleep after the 3AM reboot this time.
Heās done a reboot and it still hasnāt updated.
I had the same problem at my end but I just wiped my SD card and did a fresh install and itās fine - it pulled the latest v0.3.3.5 on the fresh install for me. But he wouldnāt know how to do a fresh install.
If it doesnāt self update for him, thatās fine, Iām happy for him to leave it with version 0.3.3 until I visit him 
next weekend.
But just some feedback for you, because the auto-update is a cool feature but for the first time, it didnāt work smoothly for him and me (but itās more of a problem for him 
than me 
).
Same problem I hadā¦itās an easy usg ssh fix, if you have teamviewer or the like on your dads pc/mac you could remote in and sort it out.
Ya but ext 0.3.3 is working fine and more importantly RoonBridge and HiFiBerry is un-affected so Roony Tunes 
can keep flowing until I visit him next time
A few weeks ago I requested that the automatic 24-hourly reboot be disabled (or an option) because I envisaged this exact issue may come up with dadās setup. So maybe something to consider for the āmainā release Harry?
Itās partially in there already or at least some indication of itās potentially being in there. When you do a commit there a 1 value for auto reboot.
Interestingly the 2 lcd setups I have without hats have updated no issues from 0.3.3 to .4 then to .5 so maybe itās an issue for those with hats and lcd.

Yeah your correct. This issue only affects those that run a touchscreen.

v0.3.5 on my Touchscreen is looking really nice btw 
Does this mean a ācommitā will fix it, without having to SSH?
No it means option to not reboot daily is being prepared. To fix the failed update you need to run a couple of commands via ssh
No dramas, thanks mate
Harry & Wizard both my Ropieeeās have stopped updating stuck on 0.3.3 what do I need to do to manually fix this?
Simon I will leave this to Harry to post something privately perhaps. While mine was one issue (and yours and Seanās are probably the same) its his call as to what is best I think.
Fair enough. I sent feedback through the webui for both my systems.
@CrystalGipsy @spockfish Harry I have PMād Simon the same info and response based on what you gave me so he can try something in case you are tied up with life 
Explaining if its not exactly the same errors I had to check with you first.
Simon are you running a HAT - if so what model?
Your method worked great thanks. I have a HifiBerry Amp+ and Hifi Berry Digi + HATS,
Ok this is interesting then ā¦ both my non HATāed displays updated no issuesā¦but it seems I think @dabassgoesboomboom and yours and my HATāed displays for some reason have had failed update issuesā¦
@spockfish maybe now you have a hat to play with you can see if you can replicate this. I think my IQAudIO DigiAMP+ setup was installed with the 170616 beta build initially.
