Volumio Can't See Music in Shared Folders on Windows 11

For the past 2 years, I’ve been using Volumio-3.378. It plays music from my shared folders on the PC without any issues. I remember trying to upgrade to a newer version back then but had to revert because the newer version kept forgetting scanned tracks.

After two years, I decided to give it another shot and installed version 3.799. Now, it doesn’t even see one of the folders (Glazba), even though there’s a green checkmark indicating it’s properly mounted. The other folder (Glazba2) is scanned and plays without issues. However, when I turn off Volumio and restart it, the tracks are gone again because it forgets them, and I have to rescan from scratch.

Both mounted folders (Glazba and Glazba2) with their contents are present under …/mnt/NAS. The sharing settings in my Windows 11 are correct because when I revert (using backup.img) to version 3.378, everything works fine again. All shared folders are there, and Volumio sees all the music within them.

So, I’m stuck with a 2-year-old version.
The setup is an RPI 3B+ with a HAT IQaudIO Pi-DigiAMP+.

My …/etc/fstab file has been edited by adding the following lines at the end:

//192.168.88.111/Glazba /mnt/NAS/Glazba cifs rw,user=,password= 0 0  
 //192.168.88.111/Glazba2 /mnt/NAS/Glazba2 cifs rw,user=,password= 0 0

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I tested Volumio on a Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB) borrowed from a friend, and everything works perfectly now. All my music is visible, and nothing is forgotten after a restart. It seems like older versions of hardware may no longer be fully supported.

If that’s the case, I’d appreciate someone confirming it, so I don’t waste more time trying to configure older hardware. It’s been 25 days since my last post, and I really hope to get an answer this time.

Thank you, and happy holidays to everyone!

I solved the problem by installing Volumio on an RPi5 and then simply moving the SD card to my RPi3B+. Now everything works perfectly, and Volumio is much more responsive and agile.

I don’t understand why this works since it doesn’t seem logical to me, but it might be worth investigating further for the developers.
