Hello,
I finally moved to Volumio3 (3.173), and I must say that things go much better.
Concernnig Hotspot: I tested 2 clients connected, using a static IP address, and for the moment, everything is fine. Let’s see how it goes in the future.
Concerning my second problem, I was able to use my Netgear router to connect all clients: volumio is connected wired, the others in wifi. I assigned a reserved address to volumio, and everything seems to work. I did not reproduce the issue I had with version 2 (blank screen, bad connection, etc…).
And, at last, I noticed two things:
-
mpd is now configured without auto updating. That’s much better!
-
the time needed to have the webUI ready to play music after boot is now very short. Using a RPI4 with external USB3 HD, it took around two minutes for each boot with previous version. Now, it’s only 10 seconds!
I guess that something has changed somewhere, probably a different pagination method?..
This issue was a pain in the ass for me since the beginning, it seems to be solved! Thanks!
