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

Hey @Newbiggen,

Thanks for the log and detailed setup info.

You’re likely encountering a known issue with Volumio 4.x on Bookworm and SMB shares using vers=3.1.1. Your log confirms both of your NAS mounts use this protocol version:

vers=3.1.1

This version has been observed to cause incomplete music scans, missing artist and album metadata, especially with embedded ID3 parsing enabled. It’s a regression introduced due to how the Bookworm kernel and CIFS stack handle directory and metadata access.

This issue was documented and confirmed during alpha testing here:

Worth trying

Update your NAS source configuration in Volumio to force vers=2.1:

  1. Go to Settings > My Music > Sources

  2. Edit both NAS entries (Sue, Michael)

  3. Under Advanced Options, set:

    vers=2.1
    
  4. Save and trigger a full rescan.

This should resolve the missing album and artist issue.

Let us know if the scan completes correctly after this adjustment.

Kind Regards,
