On request, I’ll write down some short release notes in this topic when I push something to beta.
Some simple rulez: this is not a “I want feature X” kinda post. Or a “when do we get” kinda post. I simply will ignore those.
And an observation in general: I notice people running beta without actually understanding what it means: beta. It can break. It will brake. And it can take a while before I repair the broken stuff. Or people switch to it because something is not working on stable. Please don’t do that.
Those that feel ‘brave’ enough to test it are welcome and feedback is highly appreciated!
lay the groundworks for an init screen (the web page you seen when your unit is booting up) that also shows if an update is being applied, as this can take a little while
As said there was an issue with the update of the Alarm Clock itself. As this was the first time since it is included in RoPieee I updated it this manifested itself. This has now been resolved.
Would love to hear if the other issue with the Alarm Clock is resolved as well.
updated webpage wrt Shairport-Sync volume control (XL) to make it clear that it is software controlled for now. This is in further preparation for hardware mixer support.
Harry, I upgraded my beta unit to XL to view the tabs, and the upgrade hung after loading the x.509 certs (took a photo, if you want it? Didn’t run the command line send feedback under /opt) I logged in, verified that dmesg didn’t show anything more afterwards, and tried a simple reboot, which worked perfectly.
Is this perhaps also the problem with upnpcli/mpd? The DAC I am using does not do USB volume control. I have RoPieeeXL set to “none” for the various protocols. Airplay I get full volume, same as with Roon Bridge. But for DLNA/UPnP play from the native Qobuz application, the volume is like 25% of normal. (This is on the most recent stable channel update, FWIW. I left the feedback ID for a session attempting to play to it in the release announcement thread.) I’m wondering if MPD is still applying some kind of software volume control when it shouldn’t be.
(Also, do you want people to play direct to the mpd daemon running on RoPieeeXL as a feature? If not, maybe consider adding the option switch to prevent it advertising itself via mDNS/Avahi.)
