Volumio 3.5 Supersearch and Infinity Playback Public Beta Testing

A few days ago I activated my Premium account. In the Appearance menu I only see Change Language, I can’t see anything else. No search by AI.
I am running V 3.512.

You activate it in the search field, look for the toggle switch

Hi, I installed version 3.512 and have been trying to use Super Search. After a few seconds searching it returns a few results and then restarts Volumio.
Afterwards it fails to start playing and I need to power cycle my rpi to get it back.

RPi 4 model 1.4
Volumio 3.512
Test modes off

Without Super Search everything works normally.

Edit: if I disable the DSP plugin I get the same behaviour, but am able to cancel the supersearch and then play music using the normal search without power cycling.

EDIT2: I went through disabling all my plugins and re-enabling them one by one. It’s the Soundcloud plugin (@patrickkfkan). With Soundcloud disabled (and all other plugins enabled), super search works as expected. With Soundcloud enabled, Volumio restarts when super searching.

EDIT3: Uninstalled Soundcloud (0.1.5), restarted and reinstalled same version and now s.search works with Soundcloud enabled.

EDIT4 (sorry!): I just tried the exact same thing on another Volumio system (same software and plugins, but this is a RPi 3B). Same problem as on the first system (Volumio restarting when using Super Search). Again I uninstalled Soundcloud 0.1.5, restarted. Super Search works. Reinstall Soundcloud and again the search is working perfectly.
Probably not a common issue, but if you have the Soundcloud plugin, please try the above if you’re having problems.

The search itself is good, but I really like the related artists that pop up in artist view and related albums in album view.

ok done that, still getting “No Items”, here is the log file: http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/N9rIXal.html

Can you please provide the exact supersearch queries you are performing?

I read earlier that the same thing happened with YT or YT Music plugin (couldn’t remember which one), so I don’t think it was caused by any particular plugin.

Is the supersearch feature close-sourced and Premium only? If so, then I can’t possibly determine what’s causing this.

From the logs, I do see this that caused the crash:

|||||||||||||||||||||||| WARNING: FATAL ERROR |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:443
    at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1146:16) {
  errno: -111,
  code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
  syscall: 'connect',
  address: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 443
}
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Whatever the reason for connecting to localhost through HTTPS port, the Soundcloud plugin itself doesn’t do this.

By the way, is there an option for the user to exclude a plugin from supersearch? My concern is that, by looking at the logs, supersearch is making 25 search requests for each plugin, all within a split second. Do you think there will be a risk that this will run up to many requests within a short interval, to the point that a remote service thinks you’re spamming and block you out?

for example…
british metal
summer music
sounds like the doors
jazz from the 1970’s

In the browse menu I searched for
80s artpop
1984 postpunk
indie bands 1990s

All caused the same restart of Volumio, but now don’t after I uninstalled Soundcloud, power cycled and reinstalled Soundcloud.

I can imagine that most people would only want to include Spotify and their own media. Or at least I would.

Thanks you, that’s it ! Infinity playback needs manifest ui.

Like SimonE same for me; the related artists function in combination with my Qobuz subscription.

This is really not helping my vinyl addiction. I was just forced to order albums from Pylon and Suburban Lawns because of this feature. Thanks a lot Volumio!

Can you show all how you discovered it?

Maurizio, very simple; to see related artists and related albums you first have to enable the artists and albums visability in “Sources”.

Yes, i’ve already done this, but i still do not understand how the related artist function will be shown and where…

On the artist page you find the related artists just below the artist bio link. You need premium and also have to choose manifest as the UI.

I just want to say that I love the infinity playback. I discovered a lot of music already with this function. I heard many people raving about Roon radio. This is at least as good and is still improving. Marketing wise I would call it Radio Volumio. Which sounds way more appealing than infinity playback. Keep up the good work!

Radio volumio might sound a bit like it’s copied from Roon?
