Volumio 3.5 Supersearch and Infinity Playback Public Beta Testing

Unfortunately, my results with super search has not been as promising. I have had zero results to offering a completely different genre of music, such as post rock and country. Red Hot Chilli Peppers was also thrown in there on one set of search results. My search terms included minimal techno, melodic techno and progressive house etc, therefore the results were completely irrelevant . Same sort of results also occurred when I searched for minimal techno artists.

The related album feature is also way off. Again, these are techno albums in my library and I’m told related albums are rock or post rock albums by artists I’d never heard of.

Is there any turn the related album feature off?.

Thanks

I should add that I have 11,000 songs in my music library, and ~ 65 playlists in Tidal and Spotify some with more than 100 songs.

Yes, found it! Thanks…

I also do have some issues after the update to V3.512:

Similar as SimonE I get a few results displayed when I tried the Super Search, but then they disappear and ā€œNo itemsā€ is displayed instead. But worst of all once I use Super Search I can not play music anymore at all :frowning:

As plugin I have Radio Paradise, YouTube2, Youtube Cast Receiver, Backup & Restore Data and System Information installed. So I deactivated all and rebooted, but in difference to SimonE for me it’s still the same, means once I used the Super Search it fails start playing :frowning:. But I need to add, that this is only for 4-5 minutes. But however, it’s reproducible, once I carry out a Super Search it finds a few entries, displays them for 2-3 seconds and then toggles to ā€œNo itemsā€ (or it shows ā€œNo itemsā€ instantly). And then also playing fails for a couple of minutes (and the same it’s if I like to stop playing).

Therefore I’m wondering why the topic is classified here as beeing solved (?).

Apart from this and concerning the Related Artists feature I have to say that at first it didn’t worked properly. Means I got some related artists displayed, but when I clicked on one of them I got the message that they are not within my library, which in fact they are. After a while it worked, so I guess there’s something ongoing in the background which simply takes a while (?).

In general I think the Related Artist feature is great, but I do not understand why Related Artists are not displayed in the screen for the current stream. To get informed about related artists is something I would like to have in the playing now screen.

That should only then be an option and not default, would make the UI on a mobile or tablet just look cluttered.

Agreed, but this would be the right place! Therefore a button ā€œRelatedā€ which brings you to a listing accordingly would be fine

Even that should be optional. For me (and probably most) it is enough to use the existing expanded menu and then go to either artist or album info where the related info is available.

Thanks guys for all your feedbacks! We are really happy you’re enjoying this new features so much. That’s really our biggest reward to hear you’re spending great time with what we did!

And, for those of you which are having issues, don’t worry, we are on them to get them sorted!

@Axel to identify your issue, please provide the logs after the issue occurs and paste the log link here:

Agree, or for me Tidal and my own collection (most would be on streaming but I’ve got them anyway and enjoy filtering that way when I get sick of streaming).

I’ve disabled soundcloud as there are too many results. Likewise, youtube music youtube2 plugins (but keep them for when the other one isn’t working).

I’ll probably test premium with a new account, so can you access your own collection from phone app whilst out and about (similar to Roon Arc)?

PS> looks like Tidal Connect isn’t working (and Checking for updates hangs)

Still broken. Any ideas? No items. I deactivated all plugins and rebooted.

Please,

  • uninstall all your plugins
  • Restart volumio
  • Send the log
  • Write what search query you used
  • Let us know if you can browse your library normally after the search fails

I followed the instructions
I can browse and play the music as normal
Same fault with Supersearch though … no items
Jazz from the 1980’s
Grunge for the 90s

Hi guys, anyone elses tidal connect still down?

Thx Wolfman74,
this way indeed it’s sufficient! I haven’t noticed it so far.
Cheers Axel

Here it comes: http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/Ykrh8ep.html

Situation when I created this report:

  • I played music stored on a local usb drive
  • then I entered ā€œamerican folkā€ in the super search (there’s an album ā€œAmerican Folkā€ on the usb drive)
  • result was ā€œNo itemsā€
  • and I couldn’t pause the current stream, respectively it took about 2 minutes before it stopped

I thinkt it’s 2 things:

One is why the search fails, the other why the player does not respond. The latter may just be an overload of the system, i.e. nothing bad in principle, but if so, the code is simply too complex for the users’ target systems.

Hi,

Just started to use supersearch and I have some questions about it:

1 - Is it possible to limit the supersearch to a source (I couldn’t do it)? Example:
ā€œrock music from internal libraryā€

2 - The same to Infinity playback. Would it be possible to limit it to some sources?

If it would be feasible, could be something like a new settings specific to supersearch where we would define that searches.

PS - My internal library it’s around 15K songs.

Just love this new presentation when you choose an item and it shows us related albuns. :ok_hand:

@Axel from your logs I see that the Youtube plugin is not handling searches properly.
I reccomend to:

  • Disable all the plugins
  • Reboot
  • Retry

Let me know

PS: Supersearch works differently than normal search, if you search for american folk, it will provide you with a list of tracks matching your query, it will not look at exact matches from your library.
Let us know

This is a good suggestion, we will see to add it in the next release.
