ohh thanks! :+1:

well, i did it. with the instructions it was very easy, i am incapable of doing these things on linux systems. i installed the plugin it seems to work. i can listen to the music. i have a question: how do I connect my SC account to Volumio? i have app on my iphone and so i have a client ID. is there any way to set my ID on SC?

thk

EDIT

I have only just seen the instructions. it is not possible to use the account at the moment. I hope to be able to do so soon. we are waiting for updates.

As long as SoundCloud doesnā€™t accept applications for API keys, then I am afraid this wonā€™t happen. And when applications do reopen, I will foresee hurdles in the application process. Weā€™ll seeā€¦

thank you patrickkfkan

any googlecast plugin maybe? like to stream the audio using googlecast.

Please, a version of softvol that also includes the option to modify LR balance. Or a LR balance plugin that also works with softvol.
At the moment it is a real pain to use alsamixer via ssh for volume/balance every time the device is turned on, because it resets when turned off, and changing the softvol volume resets the balanceā€¦

Iā€™m not even sure if itā€™s possible to do this job in plugin form, but something like this could perhaps be a development of the present softvol implementation, which I think sets volume by way of alsa anyway. It just needs a leeeetle tweak.

Hello everyone,
I used to have Spotify and I loved the Spotify connect plugin but the sound quality is really not good so I switched to qobuz and there what happiness but I miss the plugin. Do you know if there will be a plugin for qobuz in the same style as Spotify?
Thank you in advance for your response and your work

I donā€™t think so. There already is the possibilty to work with Qobuz and Tidal. Look under ā€œSourcesā€. But so far as I know it just works with a MyVolumio or Volumio Superstar abonnement as a premium feature.

Thank you for your reply. Yes I have that, in fact I have no problem with the operation but I like the way the plugin works like Spotify because it allows you to have all the options and views of the qobuz application.

Arcam Amplifier Control

I would love to be able to switch my AR250 receiver on and off (from standby), adjust the volume and select the Volumio input channel. So much so, I will attempt to create this plugin myself.

the Arcam AR250 uses the same web-based API as a whole range of Arcam and JML receivers.
As it is a digital receiver, the plugin could also control the Internet Radio feature, which works with the BBC channels amongst others.

If anyone has experience of Arcam, or other IP based hifi remote control protocols, please could they DM me?

Update:
I have made a lot of progress on this. Using Python, I have built a command line script that can control most settings, including: Power On; selecting the Volumio input channel; set volume.
Would anyone like to help me build this as a Volumio plugin??

Iā€™d love to see more customization for the touch screen display (e.g. bigger album art)

Also the possibility to get live lyrics on the touchscreen interface would be great!!

I suggest that you make a new appropriately named post, you will probably get more interest.

Hi,Iā€™m a new user of volumio,great product.

Recently The music streaming service ā€œKKBOXā€ have hifi & hi-res playback.

I wish volumio have support it.

Hello everybody. Iā€™m looking for an equalizer plug-in to add to my Volumio system. can you give me some advice? I would like something simple to install. Thank you.

GoogleCastSource - Allow casting audio from Volumino to a Google Cast device, particularly a Google Chromecast Audio. If simultaneous output with a local DAC (with a small sync setting) would be possible, it would be a dream!

GoogleCastSink - Cast from your phone app to Volumino

HDMI-CEC - Use your AVR or TV remote to change songs, play/pause/mute, allow volumino to change AVR volume, switch to volumino HDMI input when a session starts, etc. Maybe relay phone messages to a connected TV via HDMI-CEC (requires app on phone).

Google Assistant - Tell Google what you want to play and have Volumino play it.

vgmstream - GitHub - vgmstream/vgmstream: vgmstream - A library for playback of various streamed audio formats
A library supporting playback of various video game audio formats/codecs. They support various popular players with plugins. Would love to be able to use this to set some cleanly-looping bgm playing on my stereo.

Would love a plugin that letā€™s the Spotify Car Thing work with volumio. Keep it simple, let volumio be discoverable like a phone by the car thing and keep the features as-is. No need to mess with the firmware on the spotify hardware.
Why not just pair it to your phone you say? Make it easier for multiple users to use the device without having to mess with settings.
