Volumio cannot boot on RPi4

I struggled some time with this issue: after I flashed a new volumio image on my SD card as described in the official installation guide, my RPi4 kept rebooting over and over again and never managed to boot.

I still don’t understand why but I found a work around: I flashed volumio with the official Raspberry Pi Imager tool (Raspberry Pi OS – Raspberry Pi)

The procedure is straighforward:

  1. download, install Raspberry Pi Imager on your PC and run it
  2. select OS
  3. scroll down and select media player OS
  4. select volumio
  5. select SD card and flash it
  6. insert SD card in Pi4 and enjoy volumio

Please note you don’t need to download volumio on volumio.com and flash it with balena etcher.
