Mobile App :yellow_circle: I can’t adjust the volume from the official Volumio app on Android 16, but overall functionality and playback work fine.
“Play here” :yellow_circle: Tested on both mobile and desktop, using both Wi-Fi and mobile data connections. It’s ok, but with a weak connection, tracks sometimes skip or restart from the beginning. However, this has always happened, even with previous Volumio versions.

:speech_balloon: Notes

  • When I updated to Volumio V4.020 via OTA (from V4.017), I didn’t follow the update process on screen because I was busy with something else. After a few minutes, when I came back to check, I couldn’t reach the system—neither through the app nor by accessing the IP address in the browser.
    I had to power off and restart the Raspberry Pi manually. After rebooting, everything seemed fine, and the system correctly reports version 4.020.

  • It seems slower on startup (compared to V4.017).
