I use a RPI3 running 2.502, ethernet connected. My music playback from my NAS or my usb connected drive all work. However my web radios were working but now they all fail when I try to play them with curl failed to decode error. I am not sure this is associated with the update to 2.502 as I do not use the radios very day so did not see a direct connection. If I copy a radio url into my browser it works fine.
I have created a log file - it shows my action of opening the url but then nothing else. While my volumio web gui shows the error message. Am I doing something wrong?
I have a very large volumio.log file that also does not contain any reference to a decode error.
Any help appreciated.
Just an update - my volumio.log does contain a reference a web radio station I tried to reach - I copy the section here:
ControllerMpd::sendMpdCommand load “https://vprclassical.streamguys1.com/vpr-classical128.mpa ”https://vprclassical.streamguys1.com/vpr-classical128.mpa ”https://vprclassical.streamguys1.com/vpr-classical128.mpa",“trackType”:"mpa ”}
I have just tried your stream URL vprclassical.streamguys1.com/vp … cal128.mpa and I got a 404 error that the file wasn’t found. Has your station changed it’s stream URLs?

Hi
Thanks for checking the log file. Yes there is an error in the VPR url - it should end mp3 not mpa - why this change occurred I am not sure - well seen!
However even after correcting the url I get the same failed to decode error. I have tried other VPR urls that play okay in my browser and they all give the same error still - see VPR aac url.
I wondered if the url was being mis-translated but the last part of my log file shows it correctly - see below. I have tried copying the url from the error log file and that plays in my browser.
What else could be going wrong?

Hi
I just cannot get the url to work. I could be making an error but I find it difficult to believe I can do this repeatedly with different station urls. I am pasting or actually typing in the correct url (I have tried both ways).
Could it be something to do with my Volumio set up? I will delete it, re-install and let you know. Thanks for the help.

No success deleting and re-installing. However I cannot get back to a fresh install where I get the menu to name the device etc. Although I thought I had deleted all traces of Volumio somewhere my previous set up configuration exists. So maybe not a good test? How do you get back to a completely new install?
Not totally sure what you mean here, but if it is a clean reflash it should get you to the first run config wizard. You can also run it from ‘system settings’ I think, but I have never tried that.

Hi
I was not a re-flash - so that was why I did not see the config wizard. However accidentally I have fixed the decode issue. It’s a curious effect but I changed the network eth0 configuration. I had changed it to static as that is how my router sets the ip address in the first place. So I thought I should do the same in Volumio. However if a reset it to DHCP in Volumio it stills uses the correct ip address but does not give the recode error!
Thanks for discussing this with me.
