Volumio 3 Buster Beta for RPi

Volumio Development Volumio Beta Testing

Argh. :face_with_head_bandage:
Manually triggering the library rescan did the job: Files are visible now. Embarrassing.
But I got the impression that 2.x did an automatic rescan when I attached an USB stickā€¦? But maybe I am wrong.
Thank you for the (obvious) hintā€¦

86

i use usb sticks too so i know that rescan would workā€¦:wink:

87

with three different rpi units, 2, 3, and 4, I have never gotten V3 to boot properly. tried with 4 different sd cards and it isnā€™t doing anything but showing a steady red light on any of the different pis. fyi. ymmv.

89

It seems to me that you are not preparing your sd image correctly, and your problem is not related to the Buster beta image. Would you open a topic in general help if you would like guidance in this please?

i got still some bugs if you need some @chsims1 but that are core problemsā€¦

here a few things i found:

gdc
gdc1322Ɨ667 188 KB

same in local musicā€¦ so itā€™s a bug in volumio 71.55 mm/ss instead of hh/mm/ss
gdc-1

the time of the songs are offset the song ends before the end time
that will create a strange effect because mpd ends the song goes to the next song,
realized that it still needs to play the end and plays it from the next song (empty sound) then it starts,
the song again from the beginingā€¦ you could follow it when you look at the changes in /dev while playing the end of the song you will see the jumps

here you will see the jump from the first song to the next and itā€™s handeling of it
first seconds you see the first song ending and jumps to second song but starts at the end of the first song, after this it starts again at start positionā€¦

and after boot volume problem :

after boot 100% of volume instead of the set volume limit
this seems a bug that first set the volume to the limit and switches it back again to volume 100%

91

I thought about that and am using both the RPI imager and the SD card formatter/Balena Etcher methods.

92

that should be oke but did you extract the zip file ?

Hi

Config - RPi4 , with Hifi Berry DAC + DSP , image Volumiobuster-3.051-2021-03-06-pi.

I flash and boot the system everything works perfectly, then I installed Pip3 and Dsptoolkit, system is now very unstable, UI crashes or just hangs for long time. Local USB connected hard is no longer visible.

94

al those things are still for the 2.xx version not all will work on 3.0.51

95

Strangely the error message says: ā€œFailed to open ALSO devidce Volumioā€, whereas this should be a HW identifier.

Just to confirm that the ALSA device should be volumio whatever your audio hardware device is. This is part of the update to Volumio 3.x, where the ALSA pipeline has more of a role for plugins and audio routing.

4 posts were split to a new topic: Timezone Setting & Daylight Saving Time

Not specific to Buster beta thread

Installed Volumiobuster-3.051-2021-03-06-pi.img on

Hi

Earlier I reported problems with playing some albums from Artist menu (1 Mar)

The problems I found are under Artists some albums do not play when clicking the Play button and nor from the three dot menu. But tracks from the Album shows below and works from ther. When clicking the album name it says ā€œNo itemā€
Etc. Etc.

That problem occurred when the meta tag Albumartist was missing (and there is A LOT of missing tags in my library :slight_smile: )
My solution was to change the Music Library Setting - Sort Artists by to Artist

Note: The problem is not in Volumio 2 versions

Hello,

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 and Volumio 3.0.51
A Dac Amp Suptronics X450

Actually i manage to get it working listening internet radio, it works with Generic_i2s_dac and hifiberry_dac

I have this error in dmesg:
snd-rpi-simple soc:sound: ASoC: failed to init link HifiBerry DAC: -517

[ 17.676455] brcmfmac: brcmf_cfg80211_set_power_mgmt: power save disabled

It seems that the second error is relative to wifi firmware, and i donā€™t understand the first error relative to sound
Should i have to test with different settins in i2S dac

The mixer is software
and the volume is apparently lower with hifiberry_ dac than with generic_i2s_dac

Is there a person who can comment or have a hint concerning suptronics x450 ?

Thanks in advance for any input or question

104

No, but you could help by submitting a full log and not just an extract.
There will be more info in there.
e.g. error -517 is not necessarily wrong, it depends on when it happens and what else during boot.

Howto: Send a log

105

The firmware ā€œissueā€ is referring to the RPi4 wifi. Does wifi work? (As gkkpch says, messages in dmesg can simply be ā€˜informativeā€™ rather than crucial).

Just found a little bug with OTA updates, the file /boot/userconfig.txt is overwritten with the default one (it should not be the case, the content of this file should be maintained upon updates)

107

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 itā€™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.
http://logs.volumio.org/volumiobuster/9Yucnf6.html

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 didnā€™t work for GPIO

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

Hello,

@gkkpch could you please kindly post the v 3.068 for the rpi buster beta.
@2acd needed for a fresh install
Many thanks.

109

just set test mode and do an OTA.
3.061 is the latest.
