Roon won't enable

[wtfuzz]

Describe the bug Enabling the Roon source via the web UI doesn't enable the source. Going back to the sources page shows Roon under the disabled sources list. The roon bridge does not appear as an audio sink on my core.

HiFiBerryOS version 20210521

HiFiBerry sound card Amp2

To Reproduce

1. Go to sources
2. Expand Disabled Sources
3. Click on Roon
4. Click the on checkbox
5. Wait for "Turning roon on" to finish and redirect
6. Click on sources
7. Note that Roon appears under Disabled sources

Expected behavior The Roon source to be enabled successfully.

Im having this exact same issue on the digi+pro on a pi3b+ I got today. Running systemctl start raat.service yields the following error when I check status.

raat.service - Roon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/raat.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2021-05-26 01:13:03 CDT; 1s ago Process: 2705 ExecStartPre=/opt/hifiberry/bin/bootmsg Starting Roon (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 2709 ExecStart=/opt/raat/raat_app /etc/hifiberry_raat.conf (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 2709 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Thrilled to find out its just a software issue.

Can you try the latest experimental: /opt/hifiberry/bin/update --experimental

[Divadeer]

Can you try the latest experimental: /opt/hifiberry/bin/update --experimental

Works! Thanks.

This did not work for me. It updated to 20210525 and rebooted. Verified the version in web UI after the reboot.

What's the output of

/opt/hifiberry/bin/reconfigure-players

[wtfuzz]

[hifiberry]

Ok, try

rm /etc/hifiberry.state

and run again

Now reboot and try if it works

[wtfuzz]

Still not working.

Not sure if you noticed reconfigure-players displayed RAAT not installed, ignoring

[hifiberry]

Ok, I need to look in this further.

[wtfuzz]

I ran /opt/raat/configure-raat and it generated an /etc/hifiberry_raat.conf file for me, and the source has successfully started now

[hifiberry]

That's a workaround, but we still have to figure out why it's not working as it should.

[wtfuzz]

I'm happy to reinstall and test the proper solution

[Divadeer]

I had actually installed the previous version last night to get it working and then ran the update command mentioned above this morning. You may want to try that (updating from the previous release to experimental instead of the current release to experimental). You wouldn't expect it would make a difference but sometimes in computing paradoxical things like that can work.

[hifiberry]

New experimental is up that should fix this now.

[wtfuzz]

• Wrote image to a fresh SD card with 20210521
• Verified Roon will not enable successfully
• Ran experimental update to 20210527
• Enabled Roon source and verified it started succesfully

Thanks for the quick fix!

[hifiberry]

Thank you for the feedback!

@hifiberry Just updated to 20210531. Roon is working again, thank you.
