You can set test mode on “http:///dev” and then perform an update in the system menu. But your current version has nvme support already
I did a fresh install with volumiobuster-2.781-2020-06-16-x86 from usb, but when writing to m.2 disk at 95% it says ‘Cannot prepare system for resize’.
Used disk is a western digital black sn750 250gb.
I’m not drawing conclusions based on windows - rather - just saying that the audio files are OK - not broken.
Also, I’m proving that the NAS is capable of serving that file to a client device without stuttering in data transfer.
Is there a htop or other type of command you recommend that can be watched in realtime during file playback to see if the buffer is being drained, CPU is maxing out or other negative occurrence? I’m unsure how to monitor the buffer directly.
Well, thanks for the help. I pay for Volumio but there are free players out there who give better service than Volumio. What a shame!
You are free to use any player software you like.
My debugging has not finished yet, I do this unpaid as a volunteer in my free time. At the moment there is too little of that.
Btw. You pay for myVolumio, not for the free Volumio software, which this beta is an (unsupported) part of.
I’m here because for the supported (production) version you need 5 year old hardware.
Anyway, nothing personal.
This is a topic about improving Volumio support for x86 devices. As I’m sure you’re aware, x86 devices are extremely varied, and changing at a considerable pace. This can/does cause problems, especially if specific kernel versions are required for the hardware. We are trying to work through these changes to allow Volumio to provide the experience that everyone wants. If you have a problem with your MyVolumio subscription, then you should address it to the appropriate place, rather than bring it into this general Volumio topic please.
Hello,
I guess most users do not understand how myvolumio and volumio interacts… One is a payed subscription… And if I have an issue from where I can get support? And I will get support only for payed features (example :tidal in user interface or qobuz… ) ? And the other thing if I install only volumio then I guess I will post here if I have an issue because this is open source and the work is done by volunteers.
Thanks
Hi Lintbf,
yes I agree with you. If you have an issue with Volumio x86 then by all means post it here … MyVolumio subscriber or not. This post is directly supporting the basic Volumio support for x86, and ultimately MyVolumio too.
Hi,
No Plugins!!
i installed Volumio x86 Buster, 2020-02-27, 0.007 on NUC8i3BEH, external USB drive, and that is working, i can get to log screen. ( different problem: Nvme0n1 boot is telling me cant initialize volumioboot UUID="3e9b6253… something, but that is another problem.)
anyway, when in Volumio (usb stick), i have no plug ins? i have internet on LAN working, checked searching radio stations.
I have disabled WLAN, Internal Audio, internal DSP on bios, also dont have it connected to DAC at the moment, but these probably shouldn’t matter.
here is my log:
http://logs.volumio.org/volumiobuster/cY6eGbb.html
im gone try test mode next, cause there seems to be an update to 2.781, will report if this helps soon…
yes, tried this update but nothing changed, even settings say it is still 0.007,
anyhoo, i’m gone try installing the latest version later today, maybe it will help
Meanwhile, don’t know how to take this into clipboard from Volumio, so took a picture of
inxi -vFzxxx, aplay -l, aplay -L results…
Hi,
There are a few odd things with this NUC hw version (also have not seen anyone use it yet). inxi does not show any audio devices, which is unexpected, perhaps this due to missing firmware, I have to check the specs of NUC8 to see if Intel added something new.
Please use ‘aplay -l’ (lower case L), looks like you used upper ‘i’…
X86 Buster needs an update, this is planned but did not reach the top of my list yet.
thank you for so quick replay!
ok, i’m almost done installing the newest version, i added Onboard audio, dsp, wlan, hdmi audio in bios, so debugging maybe will show more info.
will do lower case.
Sorry, this is still beta, you cannot update to 2.781 because I did not generate one. 2.781 is for the released “legacy” X86 version (jessie).
ah yes, i installed 2.775 now. got it running, but no plugins still, Int. Radio works. Maybe i need to add some url somewhere and download defaults plugins into it?
debug is here http://logs.volumio.org/volumiobuster/j0qejFV.html
after install, i tried:
Installing to nvme0n1 from system menu, this time nvme0n1 got to 100%, but then it said; failed, cannot prepare system for resize.
after reboot i noticed this in loading pic., almost like it is using part usb stick/ part nvme0n1 to boot?
and i’ve always tried with nvme0n1 having same boot folders on anyway, maybe i should take out nvme0n1 from nuc, and use usb stick only, perhaps this solves plugin problem.
limited to 3 posts, so ill add final replay here:
very much appreciated, would only need to render spotify to nuc if all possible (air/upnp thing), or spotify2connect.
if Usb would work fine in future, im OK.
If there is anything else simple i can send, like go there, type this and that, i’m happy to help,
regards,
tp
I’ll have a closer look to it, may take some time.
Log is very helpful, audio devices as expected.
Need a little time.
And for plugins, I’m not even sure if anyone made/compiled/tested one. I never needed/ used one. I’ll pass on the question…
I have not tested copy to nvme lately, so need to check that as well. There are more reports on failed disk-to-disk copy and we have plans to rewrite it…
Plugins: this would be because we are running the buster test version as a different volumio “variant”, causing the plugins not to show up.
We missed that, the next test version should fix that, ofc we have an interest in having plugins tested as well.
