You’re right, Rax. I also believe this is a rather serious bug for what is supposed to be Volumio’s official app. While I understand the dev team’s workload and priorities, I think fixing this should be a high priority.
That said, the workaround is fairly painless, especially considering that the Volumio app is essentially a webview app, meaning it’s not much different from using Volumio in a browser.
If we’re being completely honest, though, I think that what’s really needed is a native Volumio app: one that integrates remote listening (play.volumio), offers a more efficient and stable experience than the current app and support for bit-perfect playback to bypass the Android/iOS audio mixer when using the “play here” feature. I believe building on the work Joni Salminen did with Volumio Control would be an excellent starting point.
And honestly, I also believe that the users in this community would appreciate an app like this much more than CORRD, that yes, It’s a great app, but in my opinion, it’s more suited for casual listeners rather than those who are used to listening to full albums from start to finish on high-quality setups—which I assume is the majority of users here.
But of course, I don’t work at Volumio, so these are just my own ramblings.
