Switching between webradio and UPnP causes player crash

Help and Support Help
1

Hello,

I did search the forum and FAQ and didn’t find a perfect match to this problem.

I’m on the latest Volumio OS version, old Raspberry 1 model B hardware, ethernet connected.

I often switch between web-radio playing (directly controlling from the Volumio Android App) and home collection/streaming service playing (BubbleUPnP controlled).

If I stop playing the webradio, then start playing music trough BubbleUPnp, most of the time I do hear the webradio again for a few seconds until Volumio player (not the app) seems to crash and disappears from the Volumio app. After a few minutes, it shows up again in the app, but any UPnP command times out and no webradio playing works.
If I reboot the OS, I’m able to control the player via BubbleUPnp again.

Any hint on this?

I don’t know if it is possibile to collect logs or debug informations, but I’m available for doing it, if needed.

Regards, S.

Hey @Stefano1,

To move forward we need hard facts and a log. Please provide:

  • Exact Volumio version string shown under Settings - System - About.

  • Hardware details: Raspberry Pi 1 Model B revision code, storage type (SD brand/size).

  • Network: Ethernet only or any Wi-Fi dongle present.

  • Controllers: Volumio Android app version, BubbleUPnP version.

  • Exact repro steps with timestamps in UTC+1 (Europe/London). Example:
    10:12 stop webradio in Volumio app
    10:13 press Play in BubbleUPnP for track X
    10:13:20 webradio audio resumes for N seconds
    10:13:35 player disappears

  • System log link:

    1. Reboot, reproduce the issue once.
    2. In a browser open http://<volumio_ip>/dev
    3. Click Send Log, wait for the URL, paste it here.
      Guide: https://help.volumio.com/help/how-to-send-a-log-link-for-a-bug-report

Optional but useful, run these via SSH right after the failure and paste outputs:

  • ps -ef | egrep “mpd|upnp|dlna|avahi|node”
  • journalctl -n 200
  • aplay -l

Without the exact version and a log we cannot diagnose. Once we have them, I will prepare targeted steps.

Kind Regards,
