The brilliant software team who brought us Sooloos was spun out of Meridian a few months ago to form Roon Labs (https://roonlabs.com/). If you haven’t yet tried Roon you really should. I’ve used a bunch of different media servers and control points over the years and believe these guys are really going to shake everything up.
Anyway… I just wanted to put this on people’s radar and see if anyone was interested in or already working on writing a upmpd-like daemon for RoonSpeakers that bridged it to MPD?
With some help from guys on the Roon Community threads there are several of us who have managed to get Roon Bridge to coexist with Volumio - thus allowing to pay via Roon or use the Volumio interface.
It did involve a rather big apt-get update as per the following commands…maybe this could be narrowed down as primarily I think it was to get bzip2 to install - but I’m not well versed in Linux or RPi distro’s
If there is a better way please advise … I would love to streamline this to a minimalist changes to be added/downloaded/updated/upgraded
I tried the exact same thing on another exact same hardware setup and it won’t work now…
sudo apt-get install bzip2

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libpam-systemd : Depends: systemd (= 215-17+deb8u6) but 215-17+deb8u5 is to be installed
systemd : Depends: libsystemd0 (= 215-17+deb8u5) but 215-17+deb8u6 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
volumio@volumio:~$
any help would be much appreciated
likewise the first command gives
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

volumio@volumio:~$
hi, have you found a way to send a signal to the roon bridge in volumio so that the volumio can see the data flowing? I mean that the bridge worked for me, but I would like to display the data from the roon using the volumio on the screen.
