Volumio 3 Roon Bridge install failure

charliesjc · November 19, 2022, 7:22am

Okay so you have your Schiit setup to go via USB when you want, and then through S/PDIF on the Justboom Digi when you want? You obviously just choose it in the Volumio Playback Options? With the code update I did, both ways still show metadata/album art/info?

charliesjc · November 19, 2022, 11:48am

Right. It is fixed. I had to change the way I looked for the device names that Roon sees.

@birdietwin just out of interest did you have to authorize my plugin as an extension in Roon? You shouldn’t need to (that was my intention), but all of a sudden mine wouldn’t work unless I did. Maybe Roon plugged the gap that I found?

birdietwin · November 19, 2022, 1:33pm

I just refreshed the plugin with your update and can confirm that artwork now appears with I2S enabled and the S/PIF (snd_rpi_justboom_digi) selected. Perfect!.

I see a discovered Roon extension named “Dale Rider volroon - Roon Bridge on Volumio 0.1.1” but I did not need to approve it.

Thanks again for your work on this plugin. The quality of the audio through the Justboom Digi S/PDIF interface is superior to USB, especially on the Pi 3b+.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance to any future enhancements.

That’s great news. I hope you enjoy it!

I’m getting the install error on both of my x86 Volumio streamers.

njiz · May 25, 2023, 3:17pm

Please try to install [PLUGIN] Volroon - Roon Bridge plugin with metadata and control

This plugin should be temporaly disabled until fixed.

MattallicA · May 25, 2023, 8:42pm

Yes, I get the same error.

njiz · May 26, 2023, 9:16am

Could you please:

Send the full log of the RoonBridge installing.
Send your sources.list with cat /etc/apt/sources.list
Mention your Volumio version

charliesjc · May 27, 2023, 5:26am

I’m a bit confused with what’s going on here. Are you seeing installation errors when trying to install Roon Bridge in the plugins store, the 2nd plugin on the page, or when trying to install my plugin, further down the page - Volroon? The error that’s being shown here probably still occurs with the original Roon Bridge plugin because it hasn’t been updated to change the http:// to https:// in its RoonBridge download path. Mine has had the change and does work for me, I just tried it again.

If it is my plugin - Volroon - that you’re experiencing problems with, please send logs as per @njiz post above.

MattallicA · May 27, 2023, 3:51pm

I get the same error trying to install either plugin.

Are you using Volumio 2 or Volumio 3?

MattallicA · May 27, 2023, 4:18pm

Volumio 3

charliesjc · May 28, 2023, 6:24am

Hmmm. Same version I’m using. The only difference is I’m using RPi 4 and you are x64. I can’t replicate this problem at all on my side.

If you can SSH into your volumio instance and run some command line stuff? Please try first by typing: curl --version and let me know the version that shows up for you. Do the same with tar --version. Also send me the full install log by typing cat /tmp/installog. Following that, try to use curl to download the binary manually by typing this:

curl --write-out '%{http_code}' -sLfo "RoonBridge_linuxx64.tar.bz2" "https://download.roonlabs.net/bu
ilds/RoonBridge_linuxx64.tar.bz2"

It should show “200” afterwards. If it does, try to extract it by typing tar xf RoonBridge_linuxx64.tar.bz2 and you should have a new folder wherever you started called RoonBridge. You can delete it by typing rm -rf ./RoonBridge

Letting me know at which point it fails will help to work this out.

njiz · May 28, 2023, 1:33pm

I am not certain as I can also not replicate, but I think bzip2 has fallen outside of the apt package manager sources on x64, as exit error 2 means fatal error. You should indeed do what @charliesjcsays and/or try manually apt install bzip2

charliesjc · May 29, 2023, 6:17am

Thanks, that’ll be the problem right there: The install script on my plugin and the original RoonBridge plugin both look for a 200 status code after the curl download, so it’s spitting out a code of 000 for some reason and is not satisfying the scripts requirements. I’ll do some digging and see if I get the same error in general on x64 devices.

MattallicA · May 29, 2023, 9:48pm

I was able to install the Volroon plugin on a fresh new install of Volumio on a different machine. Same version of Volumio and similar hardware. I may try factory resetting the other unit to see if that works.

charliesjc · May 31, 2023, 5:44am

How did it go factory-resetting the problem device? Digging into this issue with curl and it seems to be an error that shows up when a connection can’t be made, possibly due to network settings or firewall. Maybe something became misconfigured on the other unit?

MattallicA · May 31, 2023, 11:22am

Initially, the install failed on both units. But that was after trying to install the official Roon Bridge plugin (on both units).
I wiped and reinstalled the 1st unit, after which I was able to install Volroon. I also successfully installed Volroon on the second unit after a factory reset.
could the issue be some lingering files from the failed Roon Bridge plugin installs?

charliesjc · May 31, 2023, 5:19pm

I forgot that you originally tried to install RoonBridge. Yes that will be the likely reason, that plugin tries to uninstall itself without the correct file system permission. So if you try to install mine afterwards there are conflicts.

I really need to write a check on my plugin for the old original RoonBridge one and uninstall it properly. That will be goal for v1.0.5
