[How to do instruction] Installing Roon Bridge on Moode (updated Feb 2023)

Ah, I'll give it a test and update my post accordingly

Has anyone tried installing/using Roon Bridge on Moode 8.3.2. I recently went through installing it (OS and Roon Bridge) on my Allo Boss2 and have been having issues with the Roon functionality. The Radio player and Spotify renderer work fine. After following the instructions at the beginning of this post to add the Roon renderer, Roon bridge shows up in Moode and I can enable it. I also see it in Roon and have successfully enabled the device in the Roon Core.......but it won't play anything. I just get a track loading slowly message, skips a few tracks and then stops playback. Any suggestions?

One other note - I am using the 32 bit version of moode and used the 32 bit version of Roon Bridge installer.

Note - @vinnn thanks for the helpfull original post. You might want to update your post to inform people that they now need to add a default account prior to enabling SSH (I did it though Rasberry Pi Imager). previously, I had just used balenaEtcher and used the default account/pswd.

Allo appear to be no longer supporting the custom kernel needed for their Boss 2.

You may have to reinstall 8.3.0.

Ahh, hadn't seen that one. Unfortunate but it makes sense.  I had 7.6.X working and can easily go back to that. How do I get a hold of an 8.3.0 image?

Never mind, I found the image.

Ok, installed/modified 8.3.0 and it looks like its working now. Thanks for the pointer.

Its truly sad if Allo totally disappears. I understand it happens but they had a really nice low end niche product (good measuring, cheap, 1 box dac/roon streamer). Now, I'm probably going to have to look for a replacement.
