Hi Rern,
Thank you very much for this update.
I shall try it as soon as possible.
I need some clarifications regarding the USB thumb drive for the extra directories.
My library is on a NAS drive and after the db creation, locally (in the SD card) are present directories like the playlists, webradios etc.
How I can “transfer” all this to the new image ?
I have to copy the existing directories like the “playlists”, webradios” etc to the usb drive ?
If the above is correct, the Usb drive must have a specific name ?
What are the exact names of all the extra directories that I can copy?

Thanks in advance
Stavros

Just copy the extra directories:
- bookmarks
- coverarts
- lyrics
- playlists
- webradiopl
- webradio
to the USB drive. Any names / labels for the USB drive would be fine. The initial boot will find and set them up for you, like by RuneUIe installation.

Hi rern,

Thanks for this - it's a big step forward. I gave it a try, but won't be adopting it until it does m3u8 feeds. Edit: Ignore that - I just remembered you have to turn on the ffmpeg codecs!

I am using a wifi dongle on a Pi3, and found a couple of bugs:

If the onboard wifi and bt are disabled with the addon, the dongle does not work either, and re-enabling does not restore it. This is because of the rfkill command in the addon script. (If using the old Edimax dongle on 0.5, you have to blacklist unwanted drivers manually too. Rasbian blacklists them by default.)

When adding webradio stations, the OK button did not work, but the enter key did. I am not clear about how you transfer an existing Webradio folder since the import Webradio addon disappeared.

The Android app does not show icons, just an outline. It still works OK without the UIe.

Hi rern,

this topic should be pinned on top of the forum - or be merged with janui's download links. This would help newbies to find the latest versions.

Anyway - thanks a lot!

Hi rern,

How do you turn off the artwork in the library? On a small screen it takes up most of the display.

The option to rotate the display does not appear when the local browser is enabled, and the zoom-setting addon does not allow a custom value to be entered. I could not get the touchscreen keyboard to appear, either.

WiFi dongle:
You have to do it the way you did on default 0.5.

Add webradios, local browser options:
Fixed by a push update next time Addons opened.

Android app icon:
It is still fine on mine.

Artwork in Library:
Just a swipe to the list. Tell me more why would you want to hide it.

Thanks for the fixes, rern.

rern wrote Android app icon:

This is a browser related problem. The default browser for Android 5.1.1 does not handle whatever has changed, and I cannot update the default browser. If the app could be made to use Chrome rather than the default browser, it would work fine.

rern wrote Artwork in Library:

Just personal taste. When I click on the album folder, I prefer to see the track listing rather than have a picture of the CD taking up most of the space. I can turn off album art everywhere else.

You say swipe to the list, but how do you do that on a Pi touch screen or desktop browser?

rern,

There looks to be a problem with the samba shares. A smb.conf link is created which points to smb-dev.conf, which does not exist by default.

Thanks a lot for this version!

It's working great so far.

Only thing: maybe i'm just blind, but i'm unable to find the zoom level setting on the addon page

vennesch

belgarath0815 wrotemaybe i'm just blind, but i'm unable to find the zoom level setting on the addon page

Same for mouse cursor option. I use it locally on my TV. Tried to get acces to AP but that didn't work either (retrieving IP address forever.

Ant thoughts? Thanks in advance

Fixed by connecting LAN. No I have the mouse cursor as well.

Two bugs occuring:
1. My Webradios are not added to the library (got them on external HD in root folder, other versions of Rune used to find them)
2. When I set zoom setting to 1.5 1.8 or even to three nothing happens on local browser

Any solutions?

AndyF

Did you test "Restore Extra Directories"-Addon?
It should find and restore webradios if they were used/created by RuneUIe in the past.
If you have used default-UI in the past, you should try uninstall/reinstall UIe.

Thanks for your reply Andy

That did not work either.
Eventually solved by giving the RPI a few hours to start up everything
What about zoom level? (see my previous post)
Thanks in advance

AndyF

H vennesch,

I don't have a local display, so I can't really help you with zoom level - but rern is working on updated settings-menu. Perhaps it will be fixed with next update.

Good Evening

Installed this earlier today from Volumio (I migrated to them because of the last.fm issues) and I am most impressed with the tweaks and improvements that have been made especially the cover art section.

I do have a few questions...

When using the cover art tab and put it in artist order is there a way to group the albums under one artist and show artist art? I noticed that this is how volumio looks. I fact it was one of two good things about it to be honest.

Also I have unticked the time and volume controls from the playback settings (Very nice) and I was wondering if there is a way of having the album art and track info side by side. I ask as I am currently building a case with a screen and having the two a little larger and side by side would fill the screen more and look a little nicer. Like the joggler skin on max2play.

And lastly the the other good thing about Volumio is that it used graphical logos for the file type eg FLAC DSD etc. Is this something that can be added easily.

Lastly I have some DSD music and I have set the DSD support tab to native. Is this correct?

Again thank you for all your efforts regarding this project. I will not be leaving you again!

Thanks for this - working fine with HifiBerry DAC Plus.

Just need to get my LCD screen working now before I put the lid back on the box.

Coming soon!
