I can also add that restarting mpd does not entirely fix the issue, the web interface comes back but a large part of it is not usable, I’m not able to browse the library for instance. I’ve been able to fix this by starting playback, then stopping playback, then rebooting. This is not ideal obviously.
Changing the address mpd binds to in mpd.conf to “127.0.0.1” from “any” also seems to have helped.
I also had this problem. Changing the user in the mpd config file (/etc/mpd) to root and restarting the mpd deamon (/etc/init.d/mpd restart) solved the problem for me. This is however probably not a safe solution…
Same problem. Seems to be very unstable. Runs well and sounds great until I restart, unplug, reboot or leave it unattended for an extended period of time. After which I must re flash the memory chip to get access to the GUI. Access via putty works but doesn’t do me much good. Any advice would be appreciated as I’ve just ordered quality speakers and DAC. Thanks in advance.
Before reboot you have to stop mpd and then reboot or shutdown. If you have problems loading web gui after reboot just ssh into volumio and do service mpd restart and after that all will work. Remember before shutting down or reboot from web gui press stop button and after that do reboot.
I just get “Invalid operation mpd” if I try to reinstall, does any one know a fix for this as I am trying to set it up and just changing a value can cause a loss of the web browser and I have to start from the image file, its really really frustrating. I hate to be so negative on the first post, its a great idea but this bug is a killer for wide adoption, there is no way an uncontrolled shutdown should cause such a complete loss of functionality.
Reinstalled complete system, tried to set buffer size to 2 as I have an MDAC and it has its own buffer and sqeels with a buffer size of 2048 on volumio, system hangs, reboot through SSH, no volumio, stopping and starting mpd no good either, reinstalled mpd sudo halt restart, one corpse of volumio. Any ideas?
