Thank you for reporting. We will monitor Volumio backend operations. As mentioned here: Volumio 3 Beta test: New init - #32 by gkkpch not much will happen until our collogues return.
Kind Regards,

The situation with USB boot is related to the device timing. In simple terms, the USB takes its sweet time before reporting to the kernel “ready” state. From the image posted by @Dirk_Kramer, you can see that the USB device partition layout is sda: sda1 sda2 sda3, and is reported after UUIDs are checked.
There is no way around how quickly USB’s device controller reacts and I will need to introduce a “wait for all USB devices” delay.
BBC Radio 3 seems to be working fine this morning (12/5/24).

Strange! This afternoon (12/5/24) the BBC Radio 3 icon again plays BBC Radio 4.

Hey Steve,
Very strange indeed. It sound like this is source (a stream producer) problem rather than Volumio (a stream consumer).
Kindest,
Hi,
3.670 starts up correctly with the HDMI UI on the first startup. That fix does work here.
Cheers,
Robert
Her Robert,
Thank you for testing. Appreciated.
3.671
Key improvements:
- USB boot kernel timing for Raspberry Pi family
- Raspberry Pi CM4 r: 1.1 USB/NVMe boot eligibility
- Raspberry Pi CM4S USB/NVMe boot eligibility
- BBC radio stations improvements
- UI fixes to date
- Other, less noticeable
Please test release 3.671 and share your findings.
Thanks @nerd ! I’ll do it when I get home from work tonight. ![]()
Sorry for the late answer, but i ve had a lot of work today. I ve tried the two images 671 and 674 on both Sticks. Both Sticks and images work perfectly. Today I haven’t the time to test the system more. But the Bootsequence works really good ! Thx for the perfect work.
Thank you for testing. Appreciated.
Maybe not as experienced a user as some here but I have been happy to “tinker”. Both images 671 and 674 have worked fine for me including reinstalling using “backup and restore” which means my extensive “playlists”, and “favourites” including the many saved radio stations are working fine. Accessing over 3000 albums collected over the years ripped and now stored on a NAS also works perfectly.
Hi,
V3.674 works fine here. UI shows up as intentioned - also directly after the first startup.
I’ll play around with scanning a large NAS Lib and parallel playing Tidal - me experiences will be posted in the new thread.
Have fun!
Robert
Just installed 3.671 (didn’t see 3.674 when I downloaded in the morning). Everything
works as it should for ALL usb sticks and usb ssds.
I checked the system update and saw a new version 3.674 available so I did the update ota. However, it’s never boot so I had to do a fresh install with the 3.674 image. Now, it’s working again. Thanks @nerd !
Andy
Hey Andy,
Thank you for testing. Regarding OTA from 3.671 to 3.674 - what storage device was it on?
Kind Regards,
It’s on a USB SSD that didn’t work with 3.661 & 3.669. I didn’t try on the USB stick. I’ll try it tomorrow.
Withdrawn post
Thank you for testing this.
OTA from 3.666, 3.669 and 3.671 to 3.674 should work on NVMe
OTA from 3.671 to 3.674 should work on USB
Will check what is happening there with full debugger.
[EDIT]:
USB-MD eeprom boot init needs always a cold start. Will not emerge from a standard reboot. Raspberry Pi folks are aware of this, however there is no know work around at the time of this post.
