RuneAudio 0.4-beta for Raspberry Pi2/3

[gearhead]

Frank,

Can you illuminate as to why the B+ kernel cannot be updated? I am building a DAC with external oscillators similar to the Allo Boss and would like to use it with my B+. If I update the kernel on my fully up to date Rune 0.3 (/dev tree updated with git pull), will other things cease to function? Would this work?

Code: Select all

pacman -Sy --force raspberrypi-firmware-bootloader linux-raspberrypi

I did update my kernel a long time ago on my version running in my garage.

Code: Select all

root@garage_rune ~ # uname -r
3.18.12-1-ARCH

Hi Keith,

Can you illuminate as to why the B+ kernel cannot be updated?

Where did you read this?

Try to follow this steps:
http://www.runeaudio.com/forum/post19153.html#p19169
and adapt your config.txt to your needs.

The ALLO Bos modules are not available via kernel update yet.
You have to patch the kernel.
What you can try is to use the Hifiberry DAC+ pro drivers instead.

Hi, what about read-only system howto?

Hi vbondarev,

what about read-only system howto?

Sorry read-only is not possible at the moment.

Why?
The latest kernel update "killed" support for the needed aufs filesystem.
I have to patch the kernel first.

Sorry

Much less painful to set up and it works well for me so many thanks for the work put in so far One point to note is that although I can mount my NAS , I can't point it to the shared music folder . On my old RPi 1 running nightly , it works fine in the format :

http://192.168.0.3/public/SharedMusic

but I can only get 0.4 to work using :

http://192.168.0.3/public

I've tried all lower case and all upper case . Any ideas ?

Try deleting the share and re-entering it. This has worked for me in the past.

Hi, this will be the chance to introduce myself. My name is Karine-Johanne and i've been using the player various forks for about a week (namely Volumio and Moode apart from Rune). Each one has specifics that i like, so my ideal player would be a mix of all of them i guess.

I'm currently using beta 0.4 on a RaspberryPi 3 with the official 7' screen.

I'm not a proper coder but would be interested to know if there's a specific CSS containing the various elements to be customized, like UI colors.
I've changed the logo already but would like to try a few different UI colors and maybe add a background in order to make my Rune look more 'girly'. ^^
One thing i find missing in the current version is the lack of file type information. It would be great to have an MP3, Opus, (He)AAC(+), Alac or Flac logo showing up when playing. My skills wonr't allow me to do that yet unfortunatelly.

Regards

The UI style sheet is at srv/http/assets/css/runeui.css.

One minor thing that bugged me about the new 0.4 beta was that the lower menu text wasn't vertically centred. This was easy to fix by changing the line-height of '#menu-bottom a' from 50px to 40px.

You can see which styles apply to various elements on the page and change them 'on the fly' if you open Rune in IE or Firefox and then use the Developer Tools 'DOM Explorer'. [You'll see the various CSS and JS files have numbers in them, eg 'runeui.1489748913.css'. Ignore these numbers when finding the files].

Be careful what you do though. Best to make a copy of the original file before you start, using

Code: Select all

cp runeui.css runeui.css.bak

Hi all,

it would be great to get more feedback on the new test image.

Please tell me pro and cons (what does work and what doesn't).

- Acess Point feature
- artist info and lyrics
- ....

Frank,

I may have commented on some of these before.

The changes to WebRadio - listing alphabetically and staying on the page when you add a new station are both very welcome.

Artist and song info great too. Could this be done for Radio and Spotify?

One minor thing I've noticed is that the Volume knob doesn't always respond to the Up and Down icons. If this happens I have to drag the volume up or down and the icons then work again. The volume will also sometimes drop back slightly by itself. I don't recall either of these issues with the previous betas.
