I think it’s the same with @balbuze

Hey @Gelo5,

Does the behavior remain the same after disabling all plugins that interact with the audio path and performing a full power off cycle (complete energy starvation)?

I’m wondering if this might be residual state stored in EEPROM.

Kind Regards,

227

Hey @nerd
after disabling all plugins: the same situation.

228

Thank you for the response. I’ve gotten the Pi5 NVME system stable by turning off wifi and leaving everything else alone under “Networking”. Going forward, and this is strictly feedback, how reliable is the “Backup and Restore Data” plugin for the sake of beta testing? If it’s reliable thru beta testing, it may help save me time after every update.

After this latest reflash and several restart and on/off cycle, the system appears stable. However, despite it looking fine, there was 1 hiccup. System became unresponsive after a reboot, losing web/app access. Activating the touchscreen to reboot, the screen stalled out on a spinning/busy icon but it’d return to the screensaver/Now Playing on its own. After a hard reboot, it seems fine now. Here’s a log.

EDIT: Also happy to report that the Spotify plugin now remains “Authorized” thru reboots/power cycle.

To Nerd et al.

After careful consideration and weighing up all the evidence, I’ve concluded that the puns in this thread are very pungent. :upside_down_face:

230

And increasingly confruitational.

O! Would that I possessed the wit to divine thy meaning, alas, I remain but a humble knave, felled by the ferocity of thy fancy tongue. :rofl:

Evening @nerd,

Radio search fixed for me.

Tested and working:

  • searching for existing stations
  • adding/playing .pls URL via ‘My Web Radios’

OTA from 4.013 to 4.014
Pi4B, SD card, USB DAC

Everything else seems to be working as before. I’ll report back with logs if I find something untoward.

There’s an ad (for CORRD) in the main menu of 4.014.

234

This is no ordinary add. Corrd subscribers, your Tuesday is already in motion. Watch the signals. Stay connected. :wink:

Ps , after o have restarted volumio , Qobuz connect is ok . Not switching to iPhone after o press play .

237

Fresh install 4.014
Pi5B, SSD boot, HDMI-0 out, wired internet connection

Not working

  • Web Radio loads on the UI but doesn’t output (as if it’s paused). On clicking the play button, Volumio UI restarts, radio playback still won’t play afterwards.
  • Spotify, same behaviour. On retry, Volumio restarts, radio playback still won’t play.

Tried another reflash, didn’t help.

Log

Working
Installation and UI works
Network music files play
Bandcamp music does play

EDIT

Some web radio stations are working, others, like the BBC selection are not. I tried on my other system (Pi4B, SD card also running 4.014, USB DAC) and the BBC stations work fine.

Spotify still not working (it does on my Pi4 system). Note Spotify uninstalled for privacy reasons before generating the log.
updated log

238

As @SimonE mentioned.

Spotify seems to be broken on authorization token:

Jun 29 13:24:53 rpi5-ws840 volumio[1360]: info: An error occurred while refreshing Spotify Token Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND oauth-performer.prod.vlmapi.io
Jun 29 13:25:50 rpi5-ws840 volumio[1360]: error: Commandrouter: Cannot explode uri spotify:track:5d0KtdnoPpniNFngV5ehcP from service spop: Error: Spotify API method getTrack failed: WebapiRegularError: An error occurred while communicating with Spotify's Web API.
Jun 29 13:25:50 rpi5-ws840 volumio[1360]: Details: No token provided.

I so share the log as the Spotify part has been obfuscated :slight_smile:
No issues with webradio.

Hi @Wheaten
… but weirdly fine on my Pi4 system also running v 4.014. Could there be some factor only affecting Pi5?

Same with certain radio stations, for example BBC radio 4 in the Volumio BBC radio folder. Fine on Pi4, but not on Pi5.

240

I run a rPi5, and yes BBC is failing.

241

Updated to 4.014 and web radio search is working :+1:t4: on (the few random stations I checked) my Rpi3B & Rpi4B boxes.

Regards,

242

Good evening,

Just installed 4.014 via OTA - went without problems.
To my big surprise and pleasure: Reboot from installer/GUI now works.

BT remote still is connected but doesn’t work.

(HW) Config:

Pi5,
Raspi 2 Display (DSI),
Two rotary encoders on several GPIOs

NO (working) BT remote :slight_smile:

Testing:

  • Spotify plugin, works (my only use case).
  • Touch display (and corresponding plugin) works
  • “Now Playing” plugin works
  • Rotary encoders are both working
  • WiFi is working (can access from laptop / phone).
  • BT remote is NOT working (connected but no signals detected)

I’m excited about CORRD - but currently nothing happens - I’m already subscribed and use (seldom) the app (hearing music on my mobile is not a usecase for me, so I’m currently discover CORRD actively when I have spare time…)
If I interpret @Wheaten’s post correctly, Tuesday something will happen - being curious…

Nice evening to all of you,
Regards,
Ralf
