Released 27/01/2021

This release further upgrades the base innuOS libraries in preparation for innuOS 2.0. Additionally upgrades LMS to version 8.2 in order to resolve current TIDAL integration requirements.

Please note this is a long update that can take up to 30 minutes depending on the speed of your Internet connection.

Due to the upgrade of the network libraries, the system will change the IP address during the update which will cause the UI to lose connection and keep indefinitely in the “Updating” screen. To resolve, please go back to my.innuos.com and navigate again to Settings > System Update. If the status is still updating then system is still running the update – allow 5 minutes and then repeat this procedure. If there is a window indicating system needs to reboot then the update is complete and please click the reboot option to reboot the system.

Please do not turn off your system until the update is complete.

Instructions to use the Internal Player with Roon

1. Disclaimer – this is an experimental feature which may have occasional dropouts. It uses the Squeezebox integration within Roon which supports only audio up to 24bit/192 and DSD64. Quarantine and Import will be disabled as they require the internal LMS to be active and that would conflict with this feature on Roon.
2. Go to Settings > Choose Server Integration
3. Activate the Roon switch then select the option “Use Roon Core with Squeezelite Player (Experimental)”
4. Click the Apply Changes button
5. Launch the Roon App
6. Go to Settings > Setup
7. Activate the switch for “Enable Squeezebox Support”
8. Go to Setting > Audio
9. Disable any players shown under “Connected to Core”
10. Enable the Squeezelite player under Squeezebox.
