New build 3.233 fixes streaming serv. playback stops (official released)

Dear All,

Here Davide, from tech support
One of the latest common “hard-to-fix” bugs was related to the streaming services playback stops.
it was not an easy job, but we should have found a solution

I’m stress testing my RPIs and Tinkerboard (Primo) with very good results
Please, if you want to help me going straight to the official release, do these checks:

GO in TEST MODE–> download and install 3.233 sw version

  • test Tidal queue (albums and long playlists)
  • test Tidal connect
  • test Qobuz queue (albums and long playlists)

Wait for at least 10 tracks to play…just to be sure :wink:

Any feedback is appreciated!

In case of persistent issues you can contact me directly to : techsupport at volumio dot org

Thank you very much!!

Hello Davide,
I updated on-fly this morning already to 3.233 and till now everything seems to be ok. What does this “sw” mean?
Take care,
Achim

During this QOBUZ tittle playing was interrupted : Open Qobuz (about 2/3 of all album). The progress indicator kept scrolling but no sound.
Installation on rpi 3b+ and hifiberry digi+ pro HAT (coax output); controlled from Android 11.

This release fixed my Qobuz issue, which would occur when I played the new Tears for Fears album. Playback would stop and had to reboot the raspberry pi as it seemed to be confused. This now no longer occurs! Thanks.

Unfortunately, there is even worse when playing this album using QOBUZ streaming: Open Qobuz Playing stops quickly (second or third title).
Regardless of where from Volumio is controlled - from Android or from PC.

But this tittle for example plays smoothly: Open Qobuz
What distinguishes it from the previous ones?
It is a multiple of 44.1 kHz, not 48 kHz.

Starting to have some doubt if this is strictly Volumio related.
Experience similar drop-outs using LMS+pCP (skipping/stalling/stopping)

Thanks, works perfekt… till now :laughing:

Same with BubbleUPnP to renderer other then Volumio…

Thanks for the feed-back:
So this issue is now confirmed with:

  • Volumio
  • LMS+pCP
  • BubbleUPnP

@volumio
Found a different pretty annoying thing with the Qobuz integration, which I can only reproduce in Volumio.
When loading a playlist, enable randomize and skip 2-4 tracks (so songA >| songB >| songC >|
…), the integration get stuck and moves back to SongA. Audio get muted and interface (ManifestUI Coverview) stops responding. (Navigation buttons) The only way to get it working again, is going to the list view and select a new track, or click on the time bar. But then the played file is not in line with the coverview and the timebar is way off. Then it just start a song (guess the one it get stucked to). But then doing the same exercise, the whole interface get stuck again,

This is not related to Qobuz, but to Volumio. If I use the same playlist with LMS+pCP and do the same exercise, it just plays.

I don’t have log yet, but want to report that playback is stopping from Radio Paradise as well… most of the times it lasts 20 minutes on my RPI 3b+ based streamer on 3.233

Should I try 3.236?

I would try this.
I updated an hour ago,
and it seems to be stable now.

3.233 didn‘t work for me too
