[NOT RECOMENDED!] Plugin and Tweaks Adventures on Buster Betas

Just tested on a fresh 3.054 image, it works like a charm with BassFly!

It is definitely a huge step forward:

  • no problems with updates anymore
  • it should with all sources, including Spotify (not tested yet, it will be the next step)

@Darmur have you installed @balbuzeā€™s version?

yes, his version

Thanks! I wonder what Iā€™m doing wrong thenā€¦

In fact, you have nothing to do special. On a fresh Volumio buster, just install your plugin (the version I modified). Configure your oled. Thatā€™s it.

what DAC are you using?

Yeah, thatā€™s exactly what I did. Very strange.

Just a pi3, no DACā€¦

this is not working . Astephy said something to add this code if it is not working in an above posts:
the volumio is seen in Spotify app on my phone

DSD Files in buster beta v 3.054
I want to play some dsd files over my nas server but on mu dac it is shown 705.6pcm. When used to work it shows 5.64 DSD . MIxer is set to HW. DSD direct mode enabled. What options do i need to set in order to see DSD on my DAC
mpd oled and pepy plugins disabled.

Version of Spotify and Spotify connect from my repo are ready for thatā€¦

But it is nt working :frowning: I see volumio in my phone app but is not conencted. Pls see the logs
Spotify_Connect_err.txt (9.7 KB)
Thanks

I use itā€¦ But, in your case, thereā€™s a problem with the volume mixer. So, needs some adjustments

You are refering to dsd files? Or spotify connect?

Spotify connect. Do you use the plugin from the branch alsa modular in my repo?

Yes, from modular alsa branch

fixed : by :
:Volumio version 2.779 (Released: Jun 8 18:35:15 CEST 2020) has reversed functions names for ā€œDSD playback modeā€: ā€œDSD directā€ and ā€œDSD over PCM (DoP)ā€. Personally, I donā€™t mind, but it can be confusing for other Volumio users.ā€™ old thread*
I guess it should be fixed in beta buster version .

Spectrum from mpd oled and meter are not working with DSD files . .
Dop is set because DSD direct and DOP namings are inversed , HW mixer is set
Thanks

Not sure we can do something for that. Both plugins need PCM to workā€¦ But I may be wrong

I can confirm the plugin modified by @balbuze works fine with all the source Iā€™ve tested

  • Web Radio
  • Local MP3 files
  • Spotify (v3.00 from alsa_modular branch)
  • Spotify connect (v3.00 from alsa_modular branch)
