Volumio 3 Buster Beta for RPi

So far pretty content with version Volumiobuster-3.061 on the rPI-4-8GB.
The pro-ject pre box S2 digital is working and sounds perfect.
There is a big improvement on the stability of the Tidal and Qobuz integration.
With version2 it lagged, crashed and had a mind of it’s own. The only way to mess them up in V3 is rapidly skipping back or forward. Then it looses count and Volumio does whatever it desires. :flushed:

Not sure what the loopback thingy is doing in the left menu?

Some suggestions:

  • Make timezone and localization setting part of the setup.
  • During the library scan (50000 tracks), the spinning wheel is not persistence. So it seems done, but then only 10% has been scanned, while it is still scanning.

Found one issue with Qobuz on the iPhone, when using airplay to volumio, volumio drops the connection. After turning shairport off/on in volumio i can reconnect. But nothing is being played.

Now the being pigheaded part (No need to offer solutions as it is not part of Beta testing):

  • Spotify plugin (Team volumio) installed, showing track info, but no audio yet.
  • MPD Oled plugin is working, including CAVA for Tidal, Qobuz and Music library.
  • GPIO plugins complains on kew. So did the Spotify plugin. But that solution didn’t work for GPIO

Conclusion, I’ll stick with V3 as the beta seems more promising/stable than V2, which caused me almost to move back to JRiver.
