It has been rough week wrt the remote extension that is being used by the display and since recently the remote control.
On top of this some of you reported the extension crashing since the latest update to Roon.
So this release is a respond to that, by updating the extension with the latest extension SDK from Roon.
The SDK fixes at least 2 bugs I reported, so that’s a good thing
This release did not had the usual test time I try to uphold, but hey…
The new “display” feature has kind of moved the bar a bit. Can ropie become another Roon “display”, showing the same display and lyrics as other display devices?
Hey Harry thanks for all of your hard work. I really appreciate it. I know you are busy trying to get these bugs sorted out with the addition of the remote extension but I was wondering what your plans are for expanding this feature. I have a Flirc USB receiver and an Apple remote. Do you think I will ever be able to use these products to control Ropiee?
Yeah I can do that when I get home later today. I’ve had my RoPieee off for a few days so it is probably not running the latest release. Should I manually update the RoPieee before connecting the Flirc and sending the feedback?
Alright I configured my Flirc to do Kodi keyboard controls using my remote. Then I plugged it into the RoPieee and pressed the buttons multiple times. 0409c45828210bf7 Did this give you any more information?
I pushed out an update to the beta channel. So first you need to switch to that one (you can do that on the advanced page). With that update running you must select the OSMC remote control and see what happens.
No guarantee what so ever, without having the device this is a pure guess. But maybe it’s correct
I switched over to the Beta channel and manually updated to version 180. Plugged in the Flirc and set up the remote controls. No luck d067b4a0017a21a5 I programmed the Flirc so that play/pause was the spacebar and next/previous track were up/down arrows. I got these keyboard controls from the Kodi wiki.
Hi @spockfish
Hopefully you’ve just got a donation from me that will cover the cost of a Flirc V2 from https://www.kiwi-electronics.nl/flirc-usb-xbmc-ir-receiver as you’re in The Netherlands, as appreciation of the excellent support you give everyone on these forums as I know this is a hobby project for you
I might even be tempted to buy myself one when you’ve added support
