Hi Everyone,

I've been using v0.5b for a few weeks now, and - at least with my relatively simple setup - it's looking and sounding good. The updated packages under the hood are well worth having, and my experience has been that it's solid in day to day use.

Big kudos and thanks to Janui and Gearhead for all their work on this release!

Peace and friendship,

Hi People,

Just thought I would update, left it on the loading screen after three x boots for about half an hour and no progress, stuck rune 4 back on the card and all is back to normal. loaded straight through without a hick up.

Good luck with your update though, glad to see some movement on the software.

What an excellent news to know that 0.5b is available to download! Cannot wait to try.

Thanks to Gearhead and janui for the great works on 0.5b, and also those who have contributions to RuneAudio.

The performance of 0.5b is quite good. My ES9018 dac now can output 352.8kHz perfectly by using hifiberry dac I2S driver with my Raspberry Pi 3B+. The OS detects and treats ES9018 as PCM1502a dac. It can output 384kHz, however, some continuous "de de" sound is found on the right channel. Anyhow, it is minor.

By the way, I have some questions:
1) How can I disable bluetooth? Command "systemctl disable hciuart" no long works on 0.5b. It says "Unit file hciuart.service does not exist."

2) RuneUI keeps prompting "Disk Errors, Action Required" every 2 minutes. The system has a system SD-Card and one NAS network mount only. No USB Drive. Where can I find the information regarding this popup message? Would it be related to this message "CIFS VFS: ioctl error in smb2_get_dfs_refer rc=-2" that I found from the dmesg? Although RuneUI keeps prompting the error message, my RuneAudio 0.5b seems working without any problems.

I have tried different players but find that Rune is still the best.

Thanks.
