@sthan21 it seems your power supply has a under voltage you need a good higher power supply…
not a problem of a plugin…
@sthan21 , could you access the logs via SSH? After ssh into your Volumio, run
sudo journalctl -f -u volumio
If Volumio service crashes and restarts, the logs will show what’s happening. You can copy and paste that part to me (from the point you deactivate the plugin)

Unfortunately I have the same error during the installation.
The command sudo ln -s /usr/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm does nothing. It gives me: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/local/bin/npm': File exists. On another thread for another plugin there was a tip npm i. Unfortunately it didn`t help either.
Does anyone have an idea for me how to get this plugin installed.
My hardware: Raspberry Pi 3 B+
@NatureGuy, what same error are you referring to? It would be helpful to copy-and-paste the output of volumio plugin install
@giorgosperi , could you ssh into both devices and run ifconfig and pm the result to me (also tell me which device is visible to both desktop and mobile and which is visible only to mobile)?
Oh sorry, I’m new to the forum, I thought I was commenting on the right thing.
I get the following error message when trying to install the plugin:
root@schlafzimmer-volumio:/home/volumio/ytcr-plugin/volumio-ytcr# volumio plugin install
This command will install the plugin on your device

What do you get when you do:
ls -l /usr/local/bin/npm
I get the folowing:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 May 3 07:36 /usr/local/bin/npm -> /usr/bin/npm

It looks like npm is not installed…what Volumio version are you on?
And what do you get if you do this:
whereis npm
I get:
npm: /bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm /usr/share/npm /usr/share/man/man1/npm.1.gz /usr/share/man/man3/npm.3.gz
Volumio is Version: 2.873
I think the problem is that you are logged as root. Logout and SSH with Volumio as user.
I think the symbolic link is also wrong. It’s now pointing to /usr/bin/npm instead of /bin/npm
sudo ln -sf /bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm
should fix it
Weird as why would it be different? I never met problem installing plugins…

He mentioned above that he ran sudo ln -s /usr/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm which applies to Buster based Volumio. This probably messed up the original link.
Thanks, I tried again with the installation.
I still get an error, but this one is a little different:

Did you at any point upgraded your npm?
When you just run npm , what version does it report?
If you did upgrade your npm, then you might as well start off with a fresh Volumio…
If im typing npm I get:

npm@7.11.2 /lib/node_modules/npm
I have the feeling something is wrong with this volumio installation
I would suggest you start with a fresh installation.
npm 7.11.2 is the current latest version and should not be used on Volumio 2.x.
Thank you.
I will try ist. Hopefully ist would work
Not aimed at @patrickkfkan but this illustrates a big problem when people are doing command line installations without really understanding what they are doing. I’ve no solution either.
