Steps to Reproduce
I have two raspberry pis with volumio in my network. I can individually access them by using their hostnames or ip-addresses.
1.
Click on the icon for the multiroom view.
2.
In the list of devices I see the name of the other pi but the picture is of the album that I am playing is the one on this device. Depending on which device I clicked first, only one volumio pi is playing music. I access the devices individually by their hostname and try to play on them but only one is playing. It is not possible to select the other one again from none of the frontends. Only the divice whose name does not appear in the list is playing.
What can I do?
Thanks.
You are misunderstanding what âmultiroomâ is in Volumio. It allows you to access all of your device from one IP address. This is not the same as âsynchronised multiroom playbackâ, which is what I think you were expecting.
You can get synced playback by using the âSnapcastâ plugin:
or waiting for itâs inclusion in MyVolumio in Volumio 3 (currently in beta).
I do understand what multiroom is and it is not working. With two devices in my network I would expect to see two devices in the âZonesâ tab. As described I see only one. What Joni_Salminen describes seems to be what I am experiencing. After some clicking on devices in the âZonesâ tab only one device is reacting to my commands even though I connect to the two devides individually via their ip addresses.
Synced playback is also what I am looking for and I have already tried the snapcat plugin with the result that I do not get any playback at all. I could probably fix it but then I donât know what would happen with the next update. As a general rule I want to spend more time listening to music than fixing technical issues.
Both were fresh installs when I installed them. It has never worked from the beginning. I wanted to wait for a few updates but they havenât resolved the issue.
if they are diffrerent it should show up. in the 3.xx versions it does⌠3.xx is beta your on lastest release.
i had problems with 2.xx versions it crashed my whole network thatâs why i run 3.xx
@dvo â Sorry but you are not looking at the UUID, also please donât confuse your issues with what others are facing⌠@marjaco if you flashed two new images, then all this is moot, the uuid is created on first boot.
