What will change with Volumio 3

[chsims1]

It has been said several times on the forums, that there is no intention to stifle Community plugins that replicate Premium features. Plugins are a wonderful & versatile feature of Volumio.

Hi chsims1

You have misunderstood my message. I was simply asking whether a particular feature (all audio can be routed through snapcast on the local machine), which should make it easier to support my aplication on Volumio, was premium or not.

Adrian.

@timmee

will an option be presented to update to volumio 3 (i want to keep volumio 2 for a while), or will the update happen automatically?

You will need to check updates to update.
In any case, Updating is trongly suggested as Volumio2 is now unmantained

[volumio]

@Adrii

Although multi-room is a premium feature, will it be possible on the non-premium version to use the snapcast server to make a local copy (same machine) of the playing audio for audio visualisers like mpd_oled?

Adrian.

If the plugin developer ports it to Volumio3, yes

@notman

Any chance @volumio can comment on whether this will come to the current miniDSP SHD devices (either Neo2 or Neo3 hardware)? I know you can’t make promises for them on delivery, but perhaps you can tell us if it’s at least possible for this to be implemented. Thanks.

Yes, Volumio 3 will be available to all OEM partners around Q1 2022

Unfortunately, the Volumio 3 is not available. When can you expect?

@volumio

A new improved app (iOS and Android) to simplify usage and first start (free)

When is this going to get launched?

[dom.efendi]

hi, waiting as well

[SinGA]

I just ran the update and now it doesnt work. I can log-in via CLI, but I cannot hit volumio.local nor does the android app find it on the network. ifconfig shows a strange ip address for the wireless adapter.

I have rebooted the pi a few times, and removed power, booted back up. same problem. seems like wireless interface needs to be reconfigured??

" * A new improved app (iOS and Android) to simplify usage and first start (free)"

yes thats one thing im realy looking forward to aswell!

[Wolfman74]

The update will erase all settings, so you will have to reconfigure it from scratch including the network setup.

[SinGA]

Thank you, it had been so long since I ran the setup, I forgot about the “hotspot” piece of the puzzle.

@Joni_Salminen

When is this going to get launched?

It is currently in review and hopefully tomorrow will be live

[Joni_Salminen]

Can you give a link for it? (or .apk)

I assume its new app, since you cant convert paid to free(?)

[Wolfman74]

iOS or Android - or both?

[volumio]

@Joni_Salminen

It’s an updated app
If you want to test it now, go to beta channel on play store

[volumio]

@Wolfman74

iOS or Android - or both?

For the moment Android then shortly thereafter iOs

[Joni_Salminen]

so it seems.

May i send a PM regarding something?

[Gdg]

Well, the upgrade was fast & smooth.
But here is my issue: no more “snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi” into the audio driver’s list.
So, no more music for me…

[volumio]

Sure!
