HiFiberry say they require the PSU to come up to nominal in 200 ms !!
Volumio 3.152
After powering using a live (5V) connector I have been able to listen to Web radio faultlessly for several hours.
My next step is to pass the Metadata from MPD to my PreAmp display, I’ll raise any problems I have in DIY and Tweaks.
Great stuff guys!

Issue:
I am using DLNA media server on my windows machine, and for some reason it didn’t get all music and playlists were partly cut off, but now I noticed this happens at the point of the band “BLØF”, Im assuming this /O is not properly supported?
EDIT: Does not seem to be related, I removed the entire artists folder from my media folder, the playlists are still all cut off after certain points (some after only 5-10 numbers, one only after 80 or so songs) the upcoming songs are also available to play through the web UI so it is not like it can’t find these.
Note: Sad to see Manifest is a premium option now

I am not sure this plugin needs some tweaking for Volumio3. I will ask the developer to port it ASAP

Okay Ive attempted numerous things at this point, even creating a folder with all my playlists songs in it (57), when opening this folder directly through volumio it only lists 22 songs
Coinicidentally, these are also the first 22 songs (sorted alphabetically by song name)
Actually, Volumio is what it has always been: an open-source project, backed by a company, which needs funding to operate and improve.
In the beginning, our source of income was just the OEM (providing Volumio technology to manufacturers), but this ended up in us developing only what was prioritized by such companies. With MyVolumio we achieved the ability to develop features asked by the community, since the revenues helped do the required investments.
I am not sure what you mean by “commercial”, but it’s good to clarify what we are planning and what is the rationale behind it.
The plugin store as we have designed it will allow any developer to publish their plugins either free (as it is now) or paid. The infrastructure is already there (with this new iteration) and once Volumio3 is up and running we will do the remaining part (UI and payment provider).
The idea behind it is that this way, if someone wishes to sell their plugins, they can do so, and hopefully get something back from it. Or, attract other services providers to publish “top-notch” stuff into Volumio.
We are also considering to publish eventually some of our plugins outside of the subscription plan (we get this request a lot from the community) but as of now, there is not a plan to do so.
That would go against our principles, and frankly be also quite counterproductive.
I’ve already stated elsewhere (in a couple of discussions) that we (as Volumio) are not against “competitor plugins” and that they will be accepted if they respect the same guidelines as all other plugins have to respect (first of which: do not conflict with the good working of Volumio core).
And that’s not just wishful thinking: we already do that. There is a third-party CD plugin (paid one) that is currently accepted into Volumio2. So, if we would have wanted to “boycott competitors” we would already have done it.
The example of CD Plugin is actually something that made us see the potential of this system. We offer a simple way for people who want to sell plugins to do it (without setting up clunky authentication and so on) and we provide a seamless experience to those who want to use them.
Publishing a plugin, free or paid, will be a prerogative of the developer.
Last, but not least, I personally think that competition (if fair) eventually lead to making things better. And this is our ultimate goal with Volumio = make it the best music player out there.
This requires skill, passion, motivation but also financial resources, hence the “commercial part”.
Side note, you might see that the things that we’ve worked on the most for Volumio3, are the ones that got suggested us in a poll we did in May to understand what our users wanted the most:
Last, consider that it requires us double the effort to do anything, as we are an open source project, trying to grow without betraying FOSS principles (which is freedom of choice). It would be much much more simpler to just do something proprietary, but we truly believe in the FOSS principles and in open ecosystem, so we won’t change this

What is the DLNA\UPNP Server that you are using?
Windows 10 media sharing
Thank you so much for your prompt and exhaustive replay.
As I joined the Volumio community only recently, I missed some details of the articulated world behind Volumio and my vision was oversimplified. Your explanation makes my understanding of your plugin infrastructure much clearer.
Thanks again for the excellent work you are doing with Volumio 3 
Thanks for asking this question 
Good discussions are the healthiest way to improve the project
Hello
I am French and I don’t know English well. So I used deepl for the translation.
I currently have a rasptouch from audiophonics. Everything works very well with volumio2.
I’m starting to experiment with volumio3. I installed some plugins, like the 7 inch screen, spotify and youtube. Everything is working.
At this point I would like to know if the virtual keyboard, audiophonicsonoff and podcasts plugins will be ported to volumio3 soon.
Thanks in advance

Music library “scanning in progress” icon won’t stop spinning during library rescan after 5-12 hours.
v 3.50 and v3.52. on a RPi Zero W2. The library is on a windows pc connected via samba.
I believe the rescan is complete based on the refreshed song & album totals. It’s just the icon that won’t stop.
Latest version V3.152, RPI 4 4GB, no audio with “Hifberry Digi Pro”, same with V3.150 before. I’ve went back to 2.x…
Plugins are being added to Volumio3 on a continuous basis as time allows, but, unfortunately, there is no time scale available. Sorry. 
I’m having a similar problem with Just boom DAC on a Pi Zero2
Having problems with latest version
Pi zero 2 with just boom DAC, not playing anything media or web radio.
Tried everything still not working
http://logs.volumio.org/volumiobuster/IujDZdv.html
I’m new to Volumio.
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 not booting Volumio.
flashed Volumiobuster-3.150-2021-11-19-pi.img and 3.152
Getting similar behavior as described [but with Pi Zero W 2] :
“Moonshinemusic
11h
Hi… downloaded, flashed Volumiobuster-3.150-2021-11-19-pi.img and attempted to boot on a variety of Pis (3B+ / ,etc) each time each time it boots into emergency mode. Why is that?”
Using SD card 16GB. When logging from console with root / volumio
systemctl shows several services failed; no port 80 open, ssh not available
Tested regular rasperry Pi image with the Pi Zero 2 board - works fine no failed services.
What can I do? I should I diagnose. Please help, Volumio looks nice I wish I could be a satisfied member
After 4 attempts it’s now working!
V3 looking really nice. Great work!
I have to take my words back when i said that Hifiberry Digi+ Pro is working better now with 3.150
Sometimes it works as it should, sometimes i have to apply the same process as earlier, but now the process have to be applied on every reboot, earlier it was once and forget, so in the end it’s worse now than before.
General question, while we’re on this frequent update regiment - is there any benefit to flashing a clean version every time (as opposed to doing the in-app update)? Like is the result exactly the same?
