Artwork One: a new interface for Volumio OS (work in progress)

Hi @Michal_Tamas , I have one more request: could you add genre filtering to the “Qobuz - New Releases” tab? The Manifest skin has this option and I use it a lot. Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Hi @elvis_detox, thanks for the request! Genre filtering is in Artwork One 3.0.4. On Qobuz New Releases there’s now a Genres menu beside the page title where you can tick one or more genres, plus a Sort menu when Qobuz offers one.

To update, run this over SSH on the player:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/michaltamas/volumio-artwork-one/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

One note: I don’t have a Qobuz subscription, so I built it to the same format Volumio’s own interfaces use but couldn’t try it against Qobuz itself. If anything looks off, a screenshot would help a lot. Thanks!

The genre selection works, the only thing is that the button isn’t on the same line. I’ve attached a screenshot. There’s one more thing to fix: in the Qobuz section, when I hover over a thumbnail and click it, the album doesn’t start playing. Instead, it gets added to favorites.

Dont know if this is specificly from the theme or the Android app.
But on my phone atleast the buttons for scan and update library is off to the side and you need to slide the whole page over to see them.
Would be better if they where under.


Hi @elvis_detox and @Marius_Rimstad, thank you both for testing and for the feedback. Both issues should be fixed in Artwork One 3.0.5:

To update, run this over SSH on the player, then reload the page:


curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/michaltamas/volumio-artwork-one/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

If anything still looks wrong afterwards, a screenshot would help a lot. Thanks!

feedback time again,
Uppdated and i think i am now on the latest build. I also have a companion pluggin 2.0.1
However.
The user interface is now realy sluggish, also in the android app. Reverting to manifest theme fixes this.

also settings for now playing pluggin only results in a black page with theme active, once again fixed by reverting theme.
Companion settings just show a screen asking where settings are located nothing else, is this correct?

Epic! Wow. Thank you so much for this. Mighty Volumio, in gorgeous. Click flow/UX is just wow. Have installed it on Pi 3, 4, 5, even on a Pi 3 rev 1 it runs smooth like butter. And even on Volumio 3 :face_with_hand_over_mouth: .
Whole new chapter begins.
Thank you again, epic work.

PS: Had only one bug, which is Radio Stations, it does not find what it finds under Manifest (search doesn’t find 1live and Bayern3). Other than that, worked beautifully on desktop, iPad and iPhone.

Hi @LOVEANDFURY and @Marius_Rimstad, thank you both for testing and for the kind words and reports. Artwork One 3.0.6 is out with:
• Faster interface. The blur under the page header was drawn twelve times on every scroll. It’s one layer now, so scrolling needs about a quarter of the drawing work. @Marius_Rimstad, I’d love to hear whether it feels better on your Android.
• Web Radio search finds stations (Bayern 3, 1LIVE) from the radio pages.
• Plugin settings no longer show a black page: there’s a loading indicator, and a message if the plugin doesn’t answer. If you still see a problem on the Now Playing settings page, please tell me what the message says.

The companion plugin page is correct as it is: it only points to Settings → Appearance, where its settings live.

To update, run on the player and reload the page:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/michaltamas/volumio-artwork-one/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Wow. Unreal. So excited that I deleted my own post :rofl:

Performance is back to what seems normal.
But i can still not get access to now playing.
And it seems to be the only pluggin with this issue.
Well that i have.

Artwork One 3.1.0 is out

Thanks everyone for the testing so far.

  • Plugin updates where you can see them: a count on the Plugins entry in Settings, Check for updates, and an Update to x.y.z button on each plugin that has a newer version in the store.
  • Search finds tracks in your playlists, and album and playlist pages have a filter field.
  • Tooltips on every icon button (hover, or long-press on a phone), and a long title slides across so you can read all of it.
  • For the player’s own display (HDMI / touch screen), under Appearance → Ambient display: the ambient screen can now be shown always (a touch brings the interface back for a minute), and you can set a larger Now Playing text size and hide the volume control on that display. The companion plugin updates to 2.1.0 for this.
  • Fix for @Marius_Rimstad’s Now Playing settings page: Now Playing 1.1 puts a CSS string on some of its fields, which Artwork One choked on (that’s the “error #62” from your screenshot — thanks, that was exactly what I needed). Settings pages open again.

Update, over SSH on the player, then reload the page:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/michaltamas/volumio-artwork-one/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Mint! One small error, it writes version 2.1.0 in the Plugins List.
Thank you again,

oh, I just now understand that this is intentional. Aha
