A Roon Remote for the terminal
brew install rust// None-brew-option: Rust: visit rustup.rs and follow the provided instructionscd /opt/local/dev/- Clone the roon-tui git repository:
git clone https://github.com/TheAppgineer/roon-tui.git - Change directory and build the project:
cd roon-tui && cargo build --release - The binary can be found in:
target/release/roon-tui chmod +x /opt/local/dev/roon-tui/target/release/roon-tui/opt/local/dev/roon-tui/target/release/roon-tui&
Prebuilt binaries can be downloaded from the latests release page on GitHub. Binaries might have been created by other users for platforms I don't have access to myself.
The prebuilt alpha fails for me: -bash: /Users/user/Downloads/roon-tui: Bad CPU type in executable
On first execution the outside border of the UI will be highlighted without any views active, this indicates that pairing with a Roon Core has to take place. Use your Roon Remote and select Settings→Extensions from the hamburger menu and then Enable Roon TUI.
This is Alpha stage software. Instead of using the official Node.js Roon API provided by Roon Labs this project uses an own developed Rust port of the API.
