I have hit my first hurdle with 2.8 on the SE.   When switching to MPD / DLNA from RoonReady and using Linn Kazoo as a controller.

 

Cannot sign in to Tidal.   Account and password are entered and the screen just sticks at a "signing in" screen.

 

I've turned off / rebooted / reloaded latest Kazoo etc.

 

Any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong ?  Worked perfectly with 2.7

If you are using Kazoo as the controller you need to uncheck Compatibility Mode in the Rendu in Settings / MPD DLNA and then press Save.

 

for the issue above go to Kazoo and select something other than Tidal or Qobuz.

- then in the Rendu go to Apps / MPD DLNA
- clearing DLNA cache
- clearing MPD database
- Then go to Kazoo and select Tidal or Qobuz

I had a customer report this issue yesterday.  

 

“I received the 2.8 card today. I opened Roon, hit play, and it played fine for 20 minutes. Then it disappeared as a zone.

I tried unplugging the opticalRendu power to reboot, but can’t get anything but a red light. It appears as a Network Player on sonicorbiter.com but can’t connect when “Manage” is pressed.”

 

It turns out he was powering the unit with a JS-2 at 12V and the unit was overheating and shut down. The solution was to dial the voltage down to 7V.

I am amazed he didn't fry it.

Wow!  Very lucky that the opticalRendu survived 12 VDC input.  Kudos to John's protection circuitry.

Hi @vortecjr @agillis

 

Is this something you could add for Chromecast support? 24/96 is supported.

It seems like something we put on a server not an endpoint.

I just received my four upgrade cards today and, while I haven’t the chance to try them yet, I have to say I’m not very impressed that they showed up in an  unprotected letter size envelope. Here’s hoping they aren’t damaged.

Hi all,

Just received my 2.8 SD card this morning and can’t get it working at all.

I’ve put the original 2.7 SD card back in and everything works fine, so I haven’t got a clue what’s going on can someone please help.

I’ve restarted the Router, restarted the opticalrendu, restarted the opticalmodule. I’ve tried absolutely everything and the light on the opticalrendu just won’t change from red, just constantly red.

Both lights are on the opticalmodule, one solid green one flashing orange.

Any insight would be much appreciated please, thanks

I received a new 2.8 card yesterday for my Sig Rendu SE Optical and am experiencing a constant Red LED. I have tried everything as you have. 2.7 works flawlessly. I love the Sig Rendu SE and hope that something will be figured out for this issue. 

[johnwilk]

Thought I'd tried everything too. Then I followed this advice: 2. Have you pressed Save in Settings. (solves most issues). And it turned out to be true. But maybe you did this. Scroll back a couple of pages in this discussion and consult the numbered list of stuff to check.

Hi mate thanks for the advice

but unfortunately I can’t even get to the settings to press Save, Just a constant red light

Quark,

Have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting the Ethernet cables?

Or maybe removing and re-installing the SFP modules?

[vortecjr]

Can you guys contact us so we can work on each case separately.

Hi MrDerrick

yeah tried that too 😞

[cat6man]

got my v2.8 SD card installed yesterday........hardest part was properly inserting the new SD card by touch at back of opticalRendu 

these SD cards were not designed for large klutzy hands

 

then deleted all apps except for hqplayer NAA, which is the only one i use

then updated

got lots of error messages

updated again, fewer error messages, but NAA 4.0 was now available and running fine

 

perhaps i should have done all the updates before deleting the stuff i don't need?

[vortecjr]

Some updates

 

quark's issue seems to be a cracked SD card so I'll have Andrew send him a new card.

 

cat6man the cards are cumbersome to install even with the enclosure removed:) Anyway, just update your unit a second time and the last of the updates will come in. The temp file errors are in the script that runs in the update. Andrew has located the errors in the script, fixed them, and the revised scripts will go into shipments starting Monday.

Received a new 2.8 card yesterday for microRendu and start enjoying music with HQPlayer Desktop(ver 4.3.1).  I have two questions:
Q1. It changes a model name display in http://sonicorbiter.com/ page. It says "Model: ultraRendu" but it sould be microRendu, not uR.  Is my new 2.8 card is for microRendu?

    Version: 2.8
    Model: ultraRendu
    IP Address: ***.***.***.***
    MAC: D0:63:B4:01:04:98
    Serial Number: 010498

Q2. The NAA driver software might be beta as HQPlayer Output Device settings page says: "Device: 28beta:NuPrime IDA-8: USB Audio".  Is USB Audio driver is beta version?

 

Finally, I'd like to report that it need to update software with "Software Update" page twice.

Are these fixes available with an Update?

There is a 2.8 Card en-route to me, is this to be replaced or do I need to return it for a replacement that contains these revisions?

thanks, Simon

On 1. You have to email us so we can see what was ordered and what was shipped. Its an easy fix though.

On 2. I'm not sure what that is.

On 3. Nice work.

Steven, email me at [email protected] so I can log into your unit and update the model type.

same here with NAA device as 28beta.........maybe a leftover in Jussi's new NAA4.0 code?

Looks like my SD card was cracked in shipment. 

[lumos]

I just received two 2.8 cards, one for an ultra rendu and one for an optical. They were clearly marked which one went with which unit but I too cannot get passed the red light of doom on both units. They work fine back on 2.7 however. No sign of physical damage on cards.
