List of radio not displayed by Volumio from upnp server

dabou · November 28, 2025, 11:46am

Hi,

I’m using Volumio 3.833 on Pi with AlloBoss DAC and it works very well
I have installed a UPnP server (= Gerbera) on my LAN and volumio can discover it, access to music files and stream them.

I have also part of the UPnP server added some internet radio that I can stream using VLC, BubbleUPnP android app (=> Marantz 70) but when I click on the folder “Radio”, volumio don’t show the list of the “internet radio” and if I click on the button to play, then nothing is happening

Here is the log

Do you know what the issue is ?

Hey @dabou,

Thanks for the detailed description. I can see from your snippet that Volumio is attempting to queue a folder object (@599) rather than individual radio items - which explains why nothing plays.

However, I need complete information to investigate properly.

Missing details - please provide:

Log link from http://volumio_IP/dev (paste the URL it generates - inline snippets are insufficient)
Raspberry Pi identification using: [GUIDE] Identifying Your Raspberry Pi Board on Volumio: A Comprehensive Guide to Revision Codes
Gerbera configuration:
- Gerbera version
- How did you add internet radio stations? (m3u playlist import, manual external URL, other)
- Can you confirm radio stations appear in Gerbera web UI under Database → Browse?
Storage and power:
- Boot media type (SD card, USB SSD, etc.)
- Power supply rating

Kind Regards,

Hi Nerd

Here are the information you are looking for:

Log from Linux journal: http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/t5P1SGs.html
Raspberry Pi identification using:
- Raspberry Pi (6.12.47-v7l+ armv7l),
- Model: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2
- Volumio version: Version 4.071
Gerbera version: Gerbera UPnP Server 3.0.0
“How did you add internet radio stations? (m3u playlist import, manual external URL, other)” The URL of the radio has been added within a new gerbera container using the object: object.item.audioItem.audioBroadcast (see screenshot)
“Can you confirm radio stations appear in Gerbera web UI under Database → Browse?”. Yes I can click on one of them and listen to the radio using locally a browser or VLC (see screenshot)

Here is the log from volumio backend when I access gerbera to browse it

And the UI shows this

Hey @dabou,

Thank you for the detailed information, screenshots, and log link. This allowed precise identification of the problem.

Problem confirmed:

Volumio’s DLNA browser plugin filters items by UPnP class and only accepts object.item.audioItem.musicTrack. Your Gerbera radio stations use class object.item.audioItem.audioBroadcast - which is the correct UPnP class for internet radio streams - but Volumio silently discards these items.

This occurs in two places within the upnp_browser plugin:

During browsing (line 292 of index.js) - causes “BROWSER_NO_ITEMS”
During playback (line 498 of index.js) - causes silent failure when attempting to play

Your Gerbera configuration is correct. VLC, BubbleUPnP, and direct browser playback all work because they properly handle the audioBroadcast class.

I have created an issue report:

github.com/volumio/volumio3-backend

DLNA/UPnP browser does not display audioBroadcast items (internet radio from media servers)

opened 09:09AM - 08 Dec 25 UTC

foonerd

**Description:** When browsing DLNA/UPnP media servers that contain internet ra…dio streams configured as `object.item.audioItem.audioBroadcast`, Volumio displays "BROWSER_NO_ITEMS" and playback fails silently. **Steps to Reproduce:** 1. Configure a DLNA media server (e.g., Gerbera 3.0.0) with internet radio streams using UPnP class `object.item.audioItem.audioBroadcast` 2. In Volumio, navigate to Media Servers 3. Browse to the container holding the radio items 4. Observe empty folder display **Expected Behavior:** Internet radio items should be listed and playable, similar to how BubbleUPnP, VLC, and other DLNA clients handle them. **Actual Behavior:** - Folder displays "BROWSER_NO_ITEMS" - Clicking play on the folder does nothing - No error messages in logs **Root Cause:** In `app/plugins/music_service/upnp_browser/index.js`, item filtering only accepts `object.item.audioItem.musicTrack`: Line 292 (browsing): ```javascript if (data.item[i].class == 'object.item.audioItem.musicTrack') { ``` Line 498 (playback): ```javascript if (item.class == 'object.item.audioItem.musicTrack') { ``` Items with class `object.item.audioItem.audioBroadcast` are silently discarded in both locations. **Affected Versions:** - Volumio 3.833 (Buster) - Volumio 4.071 (Bookworm) **Test Environment:** - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2 - Gerbera UPnP Server 3.0.0 - Radio item configuration: Type=Audio Broadcast (URL), Class=object.item.audioItem.audioBroadcast, ProxyUrl=enabled **Evidence:** Gerbera serves items correctly - confirmed working with VLC, BubbleUPnP, and direct browser playback of the stream URL. **Suggested Fix:** Extend class filtering to include audioBroadcast: ```javascript if (item.class == 'object.item.audioItem.musicTrack' || item.class == 'object.item.audioItem.audioBroadcast') { ``` Consider also accepting the parent class `object.item.audioItem` to handle other audio subtypes.

Version note: Your original post mentions Volumio 3.833 but your diagnostics show Volumio 4.071. The issue affects both versions as they share the same backend code.

Kind Regards,
