RuneAudio+R e2 - An improved version of RuneAudio

[alicefrances]

Hi,
Rern, thanks for your efforts and those of others who have made this project work so well!
I just reflashed to RuneAudio+R_e2-RPi2-3 and then did the update from the add-ons. Rune finds my library. Albums and webradio will load, but not play. Any thoughts as to why? I did not have this problem on the last version I used which I think was from Dec 2019.

(RPi3B+ HifiBerry Digi+ music is on an attached hard drive formatted hfs+, the drive is mounted by UUID)

Using latest Re2 with most recent update on Raspberry Pi 4B with Official 7" Screen and Seagate 2.5" USB3 HDD. Without doubt the best performing Rune/RPi combination to date!!!!

However, I have the following issues:

1) The setting to rotate the LCD under System still does not work. I have to modify /boot/config.txt to add lcd_rotate=2 for the screen to rotate 180 degrees in landscape mode. The "screen off" setting does work as it should.

2) It seems that with my system, RuneRe2 takes a much longer time to boot than other recent versions. But when I use WiFi only, with no Ethernet cable connected, it takes even longer to boot. Is that a common occurrence, or is it limited to my setup? Is there something I can do to speed up the boot process?

Thanks for all your hard work!

Hi Rern,

first of all thanx for your great work!
I have installed RuneAudio+Re2 and run it with all updates with a Pi3 + Hifiberry Amp2 + 7" original pi touch display and it works great.

I am not sure if it is the right place here to set my comment - however I will place it:

Is RuneAudio+R2 a kind of parallel branch to the official RuneAudio - if yes, I hope it will be supported as long as it is possible?

I am wondering that you can download on the official download page the v0.3-beta from 2016 only. As I read in the forum, the latest version is v0.5 made by janui and there was an unofficial version v0.4 in between made by Frank. But to get this versions you have to rummage in the forum and you have to have good luck to find it.

I think it would be great if the latest version would be offered on the official download page of RuneAudio! In addition, as far as I understood it is not that easy to change to a newer versions by just an update, so you have to set up your system new when you want to update to the latest version --> that's annoying!! Hopefully with RuneAudio+Re2 it is not the same and it is easier to update to a newer version in the future!

Another question;
Would it be possible to open category based posts specially only for RuneAudio+Re2? This topic has all ready 30 pages with almost 300 posts that deals with many different topics! It would make everybody's life easier at researches!

Hope nobody misunderstands my comment, the guys who work at that project all of them make great job, thank you all for it! It should be a constructive comment/critic only!

Thanx

@rern
Thank you for the update.

Minor flaw:
My I²S module is "HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro". In /etc/mpd.conf the name is "HiFiBerry Digi (I²S)" which is the 7-bit code of "HiFiBerry Digi (I²S)".
I'm not sure whether this is new.

Thanks rern,

The only problem I have found is that my working wifi connection does not appear under Network in the menu.

I am using a dongle, rather than the Pi3 on-board wifi, and a fixed IP connecting to a hidden SSID, so not the usual configuration. Before the update, the network showed up in the list, but no signal strength was displayed.

Anyone else using a USB wifi dongle needs to know that if you turn off the onboard wifi under settings, you will lose the USB wifi as well - and won't get it back

A couple of issues with the new update (using Raspberry Pi 4):

1. Clicking on System in Menu results only in Blinking "Rune Audio" image.
2. Clicking on Network shows "LAN Up" -- even though the Pi was connected via WiFi, not LAN. No sign of WiFi connection at all.

Hi Rern,
I applied the RuneAudio+R e2 20200213 update.
Very useful and beautiful improvements - at least for me.
I had setup a static IP (192.168.1.101) and after the update in network menu I get this :



Both of the IPs are working ok, if I use my pc explorer (firefox).

Is that normal ?
