You should be able to turn off automatic updates. Click on the

and make sure Automatic Updates is turned off. You might have to restart to make the message go away.

Each time when I start the app Volumio I get a message update available for 6 sec and must wait before this message is gone even when the settings update is switched off.

I want to use this version, and I don’t want to update, my kids have also access to this app
and now it’s the second time they updated it and the screen and settings were gone.

Thanks for helping

Hello,

I have been looking forward to this option, too. Sadly, this appears to be unsupported. Nowadays, developers insist that users should participate in an endless loop of updates to provide the developers with constant stream of bug reports on glitches introduced with each new update. Probably, that is why at least some of us must suffer from this annoying update reminder each time the player starts up. Since their lips are sealed, we can file it as a concealed cost of free software. One of many, I suppose.

Absolutely kind regards,

xoxo

Yeah I totally agree.
If there are guests around or kids using the system.
Not sure if its them trying to be helpful or trying to be funny. As everyone (even kids) knows if you update its going to pause whatever is going on and possibly break it.

There needs to be an option to remove this ability to update from the main screen.
Or at least password protect the update process so it cant be done by anyone.

I have removed the icon and the pop-up with a couple of edits to the app-********.js file.

have a look at the second post here
