What does it mean premium user? Virtuoso account is enough?
Yes, but the device shall be enabled.
There is another news coming soon: a new, simplified plan scheme.
Many of you asked us to:
- Bring back monhtly plans
- Simplify the offer with a single premium plan.
Weāve completed the design phase of the new plan scheme (taking into account the many variables involved). Weāre ready to share with you what weāve came up with.
Stay tuned
too bad then testing for manifestUI will stop for meā¦free plan.
otherwise it looks nice.
So ManifestUI is only for paid volumio users. Fair enough but this should have been communicated properly at the outset. Now it comes across as a bit ā¦ marketing

I see that i did not communicate clearly, that was not intentional.

Yes, we thought to have communicated it cleary, but that seems not to be the case.
From now on, we will make sure that we communicate clearly enough. In this case, we simply worked our asses off to release it ASAP and did not pay enough attention to the communication part.

Iām biased as I have a premium version, but it seems logical to offer additional functionality for users who wish to pay a subscription. The significant development of functionality and quality of service made in the last year or two surely requires a steadily growing income stream. I find the sub cost entirely justified considering how much pleasure I get from the service. I pay way more for some really crappy software I have no choice but to live with. But yes, as pointed out, the fact that the new UI is only on the paid versions should have been communicated clearly. Looking forward to playing with the latest manifest iteration.

Honestly, you are not asking a lot here. $8 a month or whatever it is, is very much worth it!
For me it is OK if you also have your wages and donāt have to work for free!

Try restart your Volumio. I had the same thing but after restarted, Tidal came back.
I restarted. Twiddled. That build was not good. New build today. Installed today. The newest build has no issues. Thanks tho!
When I navigate to this radio station by country and select it, the radio station logo is displayed correctly.
When I save this radio station as a favorite and select it from favorites, I donāt see a logo.

Have a look at a naive fix from a while backā¦
I have installed a working remote control system in Buster. When updating it overwrites the /boot/config.txt file and in fact deletes the line where the pin where the IR acts is assigned (dtoverlay = gpio-ir, gpio_pin = 17)
Hiā¦ downloaded, flashed Volumiobuster-3.150-2021-11-19-pi.img and attempted to boot on a variety of Pis (3B+ / ,etc) each time it boots into emergency mode. Why is that?
please donāt edit config.txt, apply your changes to userconfing.txt to keep them when updating
I would say a corrupted download or SD Card. Can you retry?
PS I update the link to latest Beta
Would it be of any value to the project to install roon bridge using the ssh method? Will it break anything?
Hi,
the recent misunderstanding on the Manifest UI has made clear that some functionalities in Volumio are undertaking a commercial turn. This is legit, of course, as it is your work and you can do whatever you want with it.
In order to avoid further misunderstandings in the future, I would like to ask if you have any commercial plans about the plugin āecosystemā, as you call it. This question is of the utmost importance, because if you do, the work of the community would be heavily impacted.
Think of this scenario: you (hypothetically, of course) put some of your own plugins under a payment plan. Even though the plugins in question are your own work, the commercial plan would create a conflict with the work of the community because they may submit plugins that perform the same tasks of your commercial ones. And you, in your position of supervisors, have the power of orientating userās choices and even (again, hypothetically) boycott those who may be seen as potential competitors.
In some recent posts, you pointed out the need of a thorough revision of the plugin ecosystem and you strengthen your position as supervisors: this would be (again, hypothetically) a perfect step towards the above scenario.
So, for the sake of clarity, please answer the question: do you have any commercial plans for (or somehow related to) the plugin ecosystem?
Thank you for your attention.
