Hi all,

This is a quick follow-up to the 2026.09 release, the first one under the name Verox. Thanks to everyone who updated and sent feedback. You found a few things that needed fixing, and there’s one new feature as well.

Verox Spinner, our Sendspin client and the way Music Assistant talks to Verox, gets volume control. You can choose between software and hardware volume, or leave it off, and set the volume Spinner starts at. Music Assistant now also shows the actual volume after a restart, instead of jumping to 100%.

The Network Installer is back

Hi all,

Some of you will remember the RoPieee Network Installer. It’s back, now as the Verox Network Installer.

It’s a small image that works on every supported Raspberry Pi. You flash it, put the card in your Pi, and switch it on. The installer finds out which Pi it’s running on and downloads the latest stable Verox release for it. The download is a fraction of the size of a full image, so flashing is done in no time, and you never have to work out which image you need.

Release 2026.09: RoPieee is now Verox

Sat, 26 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Hi all,

This is a special one. After almost ten years as RoPieee, this is the first release under the new name: Verox.

What started as a bit of Christmas-holiday tinkering for Roon has grown into something much bigger: Squeezebox, AirPlay, Spotify Connect, HQPlayer, Sendspin… For a while now, the name simply didn’t cover what the project had become. Verox does. It’s the same project, the same person behind it, and the same way of doing things. Just a name that fits.
