v2.7.0: Spotify Integration, discontinuation of Buster support, Bugfixes Latest
Latest

Caution

Do NOT use the latest RaspberryPi OS Bookworm release (also don't upgrade via apt) with the new kernel 6.6, if you need to use GPIO components . There have been incompatible changes for the RPi.GPIO library, so Buttons, Shims and Rfid Reader usage can be broken (#2295).
Using RaspberryPi OS Bullseye is the current recommendation as it does not use the new kernel.

Summary

Features

  • Support for Spotify again!
    • a prerelease of mopidy-spotify is used to bring back the spotify integration. Please see Spotify-FAQ for further information
    • this includes startup speed improvements for mopidy due to playlists refresh optimization in the prerelease
  • Raspberry Pi OS Buster and Python < 3.9 will not be supported/tested anymore with this release.
    • official Buster support is running out by June 30th, 2024
    • mopidy-spotify minimum support is Bullseye

Improvements

  • some refactorings of the installation script
  • better installation logging
  • documentation updates
  • version updates for github actions

Fixes

  • fix for special characters entered during setup (spotify credentials, wifi, ...)
  • fix for function calls from RotaryEncoder
  • update defaults and fixed handling for some yes/no questions
  • improved startup time for wifi in combination with the autohotspot feature

Note

Version 3 is becoming mature and will soon be the new default of Phoniebox. Therefore Version 2 is slowly going into a maintenance mode and no new features will be added to this version.

v2.6.0: Network Management, Button Function Args, Bugfixes

Caution

Do NOT use the latest RaspberryPi OS Bookworm release (also don't upgrade via apt) with the new kernel 6.6, if you need to use GPIO components . There have been incompatible changes for the RPi.GPIO library, so Buttons, Shims and Rfid Reader usage can be broken (#2295).
Using RaspberryPi OS Bullseye is the current recommendation as it does not use the new kernel.

Summary

Features

  • Support for NetworkManager
    • This implies some behavior changes:
      • The currently connected Wifi can't be edited on the Settings page anymore
  • Support for correct RFID IDs for RC522 Reader (option for legacy IDds still available during reader setup)
  • GPIO and USB Button configuration now supports the definition of an args value for a function call. Also new function calls for "triggerPlayCardId" and "triggerPlayFolder" have been added. This now allows triggering playback of an (pseudo) card id or a folder. See the docs for more information.

Improvements

  • The preconfigured wifi set by the rpi-imager is now shown in the Web App wifi settings
  • The userscript "addhotspot.sh" has been removed as it was outdated.
  • Only userscript that end with ".sh" are now shown in the selection.
  • Documentation updates
  • github action updates
  • Default value for WiFi setup during installation changed to "no"
  • Default value for Spotify setup during installation changed to "no"
  • setup option for MPD during installation as been removed and is now always performed, as choosing "no" results in a broken installation.

Fixes

  • Fix for wrong values for the audio interfaces names during setup (also the first is now selected as default, instead of the fix value 'Master' which didn't fit in all cases)
  • Fixes for new mqtt version 2.0.0
  • youtube-dl package installation has been updated to work again
  • Fix for PirateAudioHAT setup (config.txt path in bookworm changed)

Note

Spotify integration is still not working. See Spotify-FAQ for further information and a possible manual workaround.

Version 3 is becoming mature and will soon be the new default of Phoniebox. Therefore Version 2 is slowly going into a maintenance mode and no new features will be added to this version.
