It's great to see this new release. I'd like to test the 'read only' feature please.

Thank you again for all the work the team put into it.

Hi Frank,

I have just installed it. I had to configure my touchscreen by hand (Waveshare 800x480) because the resolution is not automatically set.

Can I save the configuration from the previous version and restore it to the new one? I have several webradios that I would not like to enter by hand again!

I will test it more this evening at home and report.

All set up and working, once I remembered to reboot having set the DAC type

The WebRadio sorted alphabetically and not returning to the main library screen when you've added a station is excellent, thank you.

Three comments so far:

The words 'Library', 'Playback' and 'Queue' and their respective icons are all bottom-aligned. I'm sure they used to be vertically centered.

I've read elsewhere that the recent versions of MPD can play .M3U8 files natively (as used by the BBC now for their highest-res feeds). It would be great to have this in Rune. (rather than have to use MinimServer).

As noted by Stephane, it would be good to be able to save a list of Radio stations and bring them back into a new Rune installation.

Ian

PS: The artist and song information is excellent too.

This is not fair, I'm stuck at work...

Have you incorporated the 'audio' 384kHz advanced kernel?

[Stephane]

The local screensaver does not seem to work. I changed the value to 5 (minutes?) and nothing happens.
I have a Waveshare 7" HDMI and USB touchscreen (800x480) connected.
