This might be a minor one but worth pursuing due to user visibility.
Setup:
Raspberry Pi4
Allo Kali + Allo Piano 2.1
Volumio 4.119, Premium, enabled, recently reset to factory defaults
Library: 44.000+ files (FLAC, DSF, MP3) on SMB share (Synology DS220+, Gigabit LAN)
Behaviour:
Volumio often does not indicate a file’s bit depth and sample rate after moving from one song to another after previous has finished playing (no user interaction). Bit depth and sample rate are missing on Volumio GUI as well on Volumio status and web socket (pushState).
Steps to reproduce:
- Select a local album to play → Bit depth and sample rate are always displayed correctly on initial manually selected song
- Wait for the selected song to pass, Volumio moves to the next song (no user interaction) → Bit depth and sample rate disappear from GUI, Volumio status and web socket (in my case also from OLED display).
Note: This behaviour might vary in time of occurrence. Often it appears directly on the second song, sometimes it takes 2, 3 or more songs to occur. - Bit depth and sample rate information might return when Volumio again moves to another song (no user interaction).
- Bit depth and sample rate information always return when manually selecting another song or restarting the current song.
I was able to reproduce this behaviour with FLAC, DSF and MP3 files.
