After a week or so of no trouble, Volumio has just stopped playing any music. I can access the gui with no problem and see all my files, but trying to add and play doesn’t work. I tried NAS and Web radio. They go to the playlist but the counter doesn’t move off 0:00. Did the same with Streambels on Android and exactly the same issue.
I’ve tried rebooting and also a full shutdown and restart but it’s just the same. I don’t know what else to try?
What hardware are you using? Raspberry PI or something else?
What DAC do you use? Internal or External (USB)?
Did you try just remounting the NAS drive (go to library and reselect it?) - that will force an update of the library.
In case it would give a red cross with the mount an complaining about a mountpoint, you need to add it:
login through ssh (putty) as root with password volumio
cd /
cd mnt
mkdir NAS
chmod -R 7777 /mnt/NAS
Then you can remount it in Volumio front-end.
Hope this helps!
Hi,
it seems that I have a similar problem. I have still access to WebUI, as well as control of everything by MPDroid or sound@home, but I cannot listen to music. I’m not using a NAS, my music library is on a USB drive. Restarting MPD server or rebooting the Pi does not help. I can add music to the playlist, but like LeChuck described the time still remains at 0:00. Sometimes the music starts even “playing”, what means the time moves forwards but it plays at 0 kbps (-> no sound).
The only thing what helped, was setting everything up again, but with 1.2beta it worked only for a few hours until the problem occurred again.
I’m using a Pi (Mod B) with a PCM 2704 based DAC. I’m not sure but may it be related to insufficient power supply? When I unplug the DAC and restart the Pi it seems, that everything is working with the output of the 3.5 jack.
Edit:
The size of the SD cards I tested was 4 and 8 GB
I’ve decided to start again and install 1.2, my issue was on 1.1
My USB DAC got delivered today so I’ll be trying to use that. Previously it was just 3.5mm jack connection.
When I mounted my NAS I had to mount it by using putty, doing “sudo apt-get update”, “sudo apt-get install cifs-utils” then “sudo mount.cifs …” because it wouldn’t work through the GUI.
I should add exactly the same thing happened with .pls files from webradio, which should be unaffected by NAS mounting?
If I have problems I’ll report back.
Sounds exactly like what was happening to me, I omitted some of the details you posted but they all happened to me as well, although it was all through the 3.5mm as I didn’t have a DAC connected.
Using UDOO board through a 3.5 jack. Music shows in the playlist but it does not play (only shows “0.00”). Music library is in USB and there is no NAS.
