Do you do these commands under the web interface or the Network access?
Once again Jim’s outstanding customer service comes into play… thanks!
As I indicated above, the libicu package required for the next update of Roon is not a standard linux program. It is based on Microsoft .NET and requires a complicated process of building and making a file that can be incorporated into Linux. To make matters worse, every Linux implementation requires a slightly different process for doing this.I have created a file that will make the process as simple as possible Installing this package on a StreamPlayer will require the use of a terminal to enter commands. If you refer to the documentation included with the StreamPlayer, you should be able to establish a terminal connection and log into the StreamPlayer.Once logged in, copy and paste the following commands in the terminal one at a time: cd /wget -P /var/www http://salksound.com/streamplayer/libicu/libicu50-50.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tarpacman -U /var/www/libicu50-50.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tarOnce you have done this, your unit should be ready for the next version of Roon.If you have any issues or don't feel up to the task, please email me at jim at salksound.com. - Jim
Hi Jim.Were you able to join Roon’s beta program to test this update?Thanks. 😀
We have been part of the Beta program since we incorporated Roon into the StreamPlayer. But our StreamPlayer used for shows only has the production version installed on it. The reason is that we can't risk running a Beta version and have something go wrong at a show. The problem right now is that parts have been in such short supply this past year, we currently have only one StreamPlayer in the shop (all the rest went to customers). And since we'll be attending the Capital Audiofest next week, I don't want to risk running a Beta copy of Roon on that unit.That said, according to Roon, they have tested with Arch Linux (the version we built for the StreamPlayer) and the tests were successful. There are many Linux flavors available, Arch being one of them. Each has a different way of handling this issue. Fortunately, I was able to find the libicu version that works with Arch Linux. So while we have not run the Beta here, Roon has and reported it works just fine. - Jim
