Public Beta Test: Audio Without Compromise - Plugin Compatibility for Volumio on Bookworm

Plugins Compatibility in Bookworm Beta

This Public Beta marks a major milestone in our mission: bit-perfect audio from source to any remote. Achieving this has required deep technical rework across the entire system. From A2DP fidelity and metadata-only modes to full plugin compliance under Debian Bookworm, the migration has been deliberate, exhaustive, and focused on performance without compromise.

All plugins are manually reviewed. Only plugins that fully meet Bookworm compatibility standards - including updated node requirements and functional parity - are included below. Others remain pending migration by their respective maintainers.

Plugin Compatibility Table

This table reflects the current status as of June 18, 2025. If a plugin is missing or listed incorrectly, maintainers are encouraged to submit updates through the designated channel.

Dear Volumionauts,

For core system issues such as audio, networking, or UI behavior, please use the main beta thread:

Public Beta Test: Audio Without Compromise - Refining the Future of Volumio on Bookworm

This post is strictly for plugin compatibility updates and plugin-related discussions. Keeping them separate helps streamline support and development.

Kind Regards,

Squeezelite MC plugin is gone in 4.010 for Pi. Does this mean anything?

@VictorDUA
Did you enable Test for plugins?

No, I’m not. There was no need for this in Alpha. Thanx.

I’m not sure if this is placed correctly in this thread.
As written in this post, one of my rotary encoders has stopped to work properly.

I’m using “rotary encoder II” module which works perfectly until including 4.005.
Today I have double checked if I’m not facing hardware issues:
Using a differend SD card with 4.005 or even the stable release the encoder hardware works properly.

Now in the beta release rotation on the first encoder needs tons of movement to produce a single event.
Rotation signals (A/B) are connected to GPIO 22 and 27 in my installation.
Functionality-wise the rotation of this encoder is connected to volume up/down - which works if connected to the second decoder. Also switching the GPIOs to the consecutive other encoder switches the error, so from my view signals from the GPIO 22/27 are not read properly.

Any hint/advise would be great.

As said initially I’m not sure if this is a module or a system issue (I would tend to the latter …) but I give it a try here in the module section.

If ever possible I would try to avoid using other GPIOs because HW is build up complicated and this would cause huge effort to re-assemble…

Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Ralf

While adjusting settings for Now Playing plugin, it crashed the display system when saving. The Pi was still accessible thru the web, so I pulled this log.

Hardware: Pi5 8Gb w/ Waveshare 8.8" 480x1920 DSI screen.

Hey @RedEyeNinja,

Thanks for sharing the log. Based on your message, it looks like you adjusted settings in the Now Playing plugin, which resulted in the display system freeze (likely the DSI framebuffer or Chromium layer), but the backend remained responsive via web. There is no crash state in the logs present.

From your log:

  • Yes, I can confirm multiple npm install actions occurred, likely tied to plugin setup or config changes.
  • However, there is no evidence of a volumio vrestart, volumio vrestart nowplaying, or full reboot, which are necessary to reinitialize Chromium and related display modules after plugin installs or major UI changes.
  • On Pi5 with a DSI screen (especially 480x1920, non-standard aspect), the Now Playing plugin must be restarted cleanly to ensure Electron/Chromium picks up the correct rotation and resolution parameters. Skipping this restart can leave the screen in a blank or crashed state.

Let me know if restart resolves it or the display freeze persists after clean restart.

Kind Regards,

Reboot solved the issue and I was able to proceed with the 192/24 tests for the Pi5.

Downloaded and re-flashed beta 4.010 after in-place update failed (duh :roll_eyes:):
Hotspot worked right away.
Plugins Youtube, Now Playing and System Info also work fine. Pandora 3.12.1, however, doesn’t work (for me at least) despite being listed as being updated. Gives me this error screen

even after I put in my credentials and saved. The credentials work fine with the 3.xx stable versions.
