Volumio 3.395 Fast Beta-Test

Currently we’ve landed on V3.398, which became a pretty weird expierence.

  • factory reset (from rPi4-8GB, V3.378)
  • During the first install wizard, WL network gets into a loop, keeps detecting (spinning wheel). So forced to reboot the system. After doing this (Also connected wired) the system won’t register with myvolumio, even though It’s logged into myvolumio. Loading plugins failed.
  • Performed a 2nd factory reset and started over.
  • After the first time wizard, almost every plugin failed to install
E: Release file for http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/dists/buster/InRelease is not valid yet (invalid for another 19h 38min 12s). Updates for this repository will not be applied.
E: Release file for http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/dists/buster/InRelease is not valid yet (invalid for another 21h 59min 24s). Updates for this repository will not be applied.

  • Reason time zone incorrect, after running sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata still 27 hours off, so nothing could be installed or updated.
Current default time zone: 'Europe/Amsterdam'
Local time is now:      Wed Dec  7 09:56:24 CET 2022.
Universal Time is now:  Wed Dec  7 08:56:24 UTC 2022.

Finally after 4 reboots and retries, the new timestamp was correct.

So after 2 hours, I can finally do some testing. Not sure what causes this. never had these troubles before.
More to come

New screen layout, still a bit unlogical, there is a huge amount of unused space to left. Not sure why not resizing/re-arranging?

just an example:

  • Menus to the corners, not random as they are tied to the player controls
  • Use left space for covers
  • use remaining for track info etc. Which will give room for artist info which is gone now.

Or add this as option for the manifest UI.
Player controls <Rep> |<< > >>| x Yes/No
Artist info Yes/No

Long playlist/pause.
Seems stable . Still running test.
