šŸš€ Help Us Perfect the First Run: BLE Onboarding Beta Test

Iā€™m not sure if my problem is related to the app and BLE or to Volumio 4.088
Everything was working well, then the app showed both my volumio units, but would not connect to the one called Volumio. It would allow access to the settings via the three dot menu, but you couldnā€™t tap it and use the interface to play music, it showed a connection failed message.
I used the settings menu to do an update to V 4.088 (from 4.086) and that didnā€™t help.
I tried turning off Bluetooth on my iphone to force it to use wi-fi for the connection, but that didnā€™t change the behaviour.

My second volumio (called Volumiobr) is on V 4.073 (not in test mode) and it works normally in the app (iphone).

The unit with the connection failed symptom in the app works normally from a web browser on the iphone and from a computer, so I think itā€™s the app that is causing the problem with Volumio V 4.086 and 4.088.

The app update 5.260115.0 that came out overnight has fixed the issue I was having with connecting to my Volumio on Version 4.088
Thank you.

Hi

Is there any update on the app, currently itā€™s not very use full as it keeps getting into a BT loop with none Volumio devices. (Pair/Cancel BT connection).
If there is no ETA, please provide the ability to fall back to the previous app.

Thanks

IOS version updated yesterday, V 5.260120.0
I havenā€™t noticed any issues, but Iā€™ve not tried to connect or setup a new device with it.

Itā€™s not an app issue but rather a Volumio issue. We already solved it and are working to release it ASAP

I am new to Volumio and at this moment I do have a question regarding the Android app.

Every time I do open the app, I first get the screen ā€œJe apparatenā€.
Because I do have just 1 device, this is for me very anoying.
I like to go direct to the Now Playing page and skip the ā€œJe aparatenā€ page.

I searched inside the settings, but I can not find any solution.

My question, is this possible, and how?

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestion!

Not sure if this is feasible. The app needs to be able to find the device, and while using a fixed IP might work in your setup, it will fail for users without static IPs. mDNS discovery isnā€™t very reliable either.
Letā€™s see what the developers think about this.

Updated to 4.097. Release notes mentioned fix for BT connect loop bug. Unfortunately problem remains. App is unusable if my Android phoneā€™s BT is on.
