Hi
I’m running Volumio 3 premium on Rasberry PI4. Current media server running are Plex, JRiver and FireStream. Regardless of the server used Volumio 3 display no track title or information in the currently playing window. When you press pause and then resume the track all information suddenly appears. I will also add that in Album view there is no play arrow to indicate which track is currently playing. This is a minor but obvious issue. Regards George
Hi @Geovolumio
Issue was noticed during Bookworm (V4) testing. The code is shared with Buster (V3) and under investigation. No ETA yet.
Thank you for the prompt reply.

Volumio 3 Issues?
So many of my albums in media servers Plex and FireStream do not display artist names. On compilation albums all I can see is the track title and album name. This is in addition to my prior reported issue experiencing track titles displaying only the file format type as the track name. I was not pleased with supports response to this issue.
I will not continue with this product if this situation continues

Just to clarify for others experiencing similar issues: the metadata bug has been identified and is caused by a race condition, a timing conflict where multiple threads or processes try to access and modify shared data simultaneously. This can result in missing artist names, incorrect track titles (e.g., showing only file format), and inconsistent metadata rendering.
While UPnP/DLNA setups seems more sensitive to this, the issue isn’t exclusive to them. It can occur across different sources, including SMB/NFS and even local playback in some cases. I’ve already shared logs with the dev team to help pinpoint when and how this happens.
The root cause is known, but it’s a complex one to fix. There’s no ETA yet, but it’s on the radar.
