After a fresh install of Ropieee, Roon Bridge Version 1.7 (build 571) got loaded. Now, it is again asking me to update. This time I am not falling for it.
I have tried to update Ropieee on two separate endpoints today. I have tried a total of 3 (or 4, I lost count) separate SD cards, both brand new and reformatted old cards. I lost count of the number of re-flashings of the image - I think about 5. I also tried two separate images.
Still nothing. It got perpetually stuck on rebooting each time, giving me the increasingly infuriating ‘the page will be available again in about one minute’ message.
I am officially exhausted and have given up. I then tried to run Volumio on both endpoints using the exact same setup. They both worked flawlessly within minutes. So please don’t tell me it’s a network cable, or some such.
Really trying to find a compelling reason to renew my annual subscription at this point…
Yes, apologies - I do realise this. That comment was reflecting that I am also less than enamoured of 1.8 sadly. You do an amazing job with Ropieee and thanks for how much you have enhanced the Roon experience for me through it. Just seems since 1.8, the ripple effects are irritating.
There was no update of RoPieee or RoPieeeXL associated with the update of Roon from 1.7 to 1.8. If your RoPieee device was current, you needed to do nothing with it.
I had the same issue with my Ropieee raspies. They wouldn’t update when network connection is on external USB Wifi (I use a tp-link dongle based on a Realtek chip). The upgrade was discoverd and downloaded but after reboot the network connection never came back. In that end I had to connect the Rpi to Ethernet with out the Wifi dongle attached, perform the upgrade and afterwards attach the dongle again and configure it. Then I could reboot it and access via Wifi again. It would of course be nicer if I just could upgrade the Ropieee devices without having to fetch and connect them to Ethernet first in order to upgrade Ropieee. But at least I know how to circumvent this problem.
any updates on this? I went to install the newest version of Ropieee to see if it helped improved my 1.8 experience, but I can’t get the web UI to load after clicking download/install/reboot
