rAudio 240219 - A total mess for me

[klassikmann]

I updated 240219 over 240212 avoiding the withdrawn 240218.
Effects:

1. invalid card number 'scontents'
2. Setting "No Volume" => Output section in player configuration vanished.
3. No sound at all

I'm just trying to go back to 240212 on top of rAudio-64bit-20240108 image

[klassikmann]

Next try:

1. Use rAudio-64bit-20240108 + latest backup => everything o.k.
2. Update to 240219 => as described above

I got the scontents message too....the Player page now is missing my DAC and everything in that section...

This is an ongoing problem see (amongst others) #1594, #1600, #1602 and #1603. Some are reporting 20240219 fixes the problems but this isn't the case for me, although it is fractionally better with this release.

I'm trying step-by-step to approacg my newest working configuration.
Urgent question: How to update to an older release, e.g. update to 240212 instead to 240219?

[ceejayemm]

My recent update to #1594 might shed some light, if not a solution yet.

I always try to have a reasonably current backup image for exactly these purposes!

@cmh714

I always try to have a reasonably current backup image for exactly these purposes!

Sure, I have enough backups (generated by the System-Menu). But to restore not only such a backup, it would be helpful to restore/overload the existing release by an earlier one. My idea was to bibisect the release responsible for the regression. To make the situation (slighty) worse: I'm using the rAudio hardware for additional purposes also, e.g. one of two AdGuardHome instances in my infrastructure is co-located with rAudio. But the full system is up and running again since two hours and a full backup of the 32GB SDcard is available.

[cmh714]

Understood on what you were attempting! And I make actual drive images in addition to the System generated backup. Make recovery a bit easier.

@klassikmann, @ceejayemm,

Please try the UPDATE.

[klassikmann]

@rern @ceejayemm
First impression: Looks good.

[cmh714]

UPDATE sort of not working well here.....now my Device just says USB Audio not the actual device name. Unsure how big an issues tat may be....it plays.

Also it fails to mount 2 of my NFS drives. Going back to my backup image until this gets straightened out.

But still GREATLY appreciate @rerns efforts!!!!!!

[rern]

Please try the UPDATE again.

[klassikmann]

Still looking good.

[cmh714]

Not here....moving backwards :)

[cmh714]

after a reboot the DAC seems to have showed up properly....I think

[cmh714]

Also the UI shows 2 of my drives not mounted....but they ARE mounted and can play music...

[rern]

Please post the output of: cat /etc/fstab

[cmh714]

I would say we are not parsing spaces or backslashes properly at this time from what I see....as always Sir, TY! And again, the music plays fine so its just a cosmetic/UI thingy.

[cmh714]

Update to 0312 seems to have fixed my minor drive issue.
TY @rern

[klassikmann]

rAudio 240226: Finally fixed.
