Volumio 3.5 Supersearch and Infinity Playback Public Beta Testing

Volumio Development Volumio Beta Testing

I’m a bit late to the party on this. I upgraded to the beta version a couple of days ago and I’m really enjoying the new additions.

I specially like the Related Artists/Albums feature. That’s typically how I discover new (to me) music, and as there’s no Qobuz Connect (yet) I was missing that feature since I switched from TIDAL.

I did originally have trouble with Supersearch - it caused Volumio to restart every time it tried to search (I would get the full screen wait animation, then the Configuration Updated message). I disabled the Bandcamp and SoundCloud pluguns, after which it started worked. I’ve since re-enabled the plugins and it’s still working, so I don’t have logs. If it happens again I’ll be sure to get logs.

Now it’s working it seems great! It produces some nice themed playlists, even though a search for “Woodstock 1969” includes Dire Straits…

I haven’t played with Infinity Play yet.

I also really like the new Artist and Album page design. It’s a nice improvement.

Does Supersearch work if you only have only a local library (no streaming services)? I have nearly 28K tracks and it does nothing so far. Is there some indexing time needed before it finds something? I tried several search terms and got “No Items”…

Yes, it should work just fine, if you have at least 1k tracks.

Would you mind sending a log after the search returns no results?

I was using the contemporary interface and switched after reading your post to manifest, but i still cannot see the toggle to go to Supersearch Beta. Maybe i must enable Test Mode in dev options?
EDIT: Enabled Test Mode and now i’m downloading latest release…

Same for me and there again, no streaming service.

Happy Monday! I just tried it again hoping there was some indexing time needed, still same result though, i.e. “no items”

That’s great news, but it still does not work for me. I posted the log above in the previous thread. Can you help me out please?

Please disable all the plugins you have, restart and try again. I think that one of your plugins is tampering with mpd (there is a timeout in mpd search)

Hi,

I am a premium user and enjoying the superseach especially with my Qobuz description. But how do I activate the “related artist” function?

57

Ignore my question; already discovered it! Super!

58

What’s your favourite part of the new set of features?

59

Updated my system with the latest version : 3.512
I have the Premium plan activated.

I’ve rebooted my system, refreshed the database, but I still do not see the Infinity playback option

It is in the Now Playing interface
