Thank You Rern!

[s.k.]

I manage to build the image from scratch, for my Pi2.

I’m very impressed from UI speed & response.

Question:
Does anyone managed to setup a static IP ?

I’m trying to set it up, but the configuration menu doesn’t popup.

Rern great job!
Much appreciate for you efforts.
Thanks again !

Issue
Library Display: Setting "Sort by artist" doesn' work.
"thumbbyartist" in data/system/display is set, but no visible change in coverart window.
=> Click on any thumbnail generates a "No data in this location" pop-up.

Typo
Playback Display: "Share+Bio buttuns"

You don't have to wait for it. You can do it right away then force update.

Static IP is provided by your router, not by rune.

Downloaded and installed RA+Re3 to a RPI3 (where I have run all previous versions of RA). On first boot I can access the system and moved to the System screen to change the Time Zone (Europe/London), turn off Wireless option, browser on PI and add AudioDAC+ sound card. System requests a reboot but on restart just displays large Rune Audio logo. Pointing browser to http://raconservatory/index-settings.php?p=system allows me to see boot log. The shows an exception towards the end of the boot process

@ceejayemm,

Can you SSH to your system and get the content of /etc/mpd.conf ?
