Honestly, you are not asking a lot here. $8 a month or whatever it is, is very much worth it!
For me it is OK if you also have your wages and don’t have to work for free!

Try restart your Volumio. I had the same thing but after restarted, Tidal came back.
I restarted. Twiddled. That build was not good. New build today. Installed today. The newest build has no issues. Thanks tho!
When I navigate to this radio station by country and select it, the radio station logo is displayed correctly.
When I save this radio station as a favorite and select it from favorites, I don’t see a logo.

Have a look at a naive fix from a while back…
I have installed a working remote control system in Buster. When updating it overwrites the /boot/config.txt file and in fact deletes the line where the pin where the IR acts is assigned (dtoverlay = gpio-ir, gpio_pin = 17)
Hi… downloaded, flashed Volumiobuster-3.150-2021-11-19-pi.img and attempted to boot on a variety of Pis (3B+ / ,etc) each time it boots into emergency mode. Why is that?
please don’t edit config.txt, apply your changes to userconfing.txt to keep them when updating
I would say a corrupted download or SD Card. Can you retry?
PS I update the link to latest Beta
Would it be of any value to the project to install roon bridge using the ssh method? Will it break anything?
Hi,
the recent misunderstanding on the Manifest UI has made clear that some functionalities in Volumio are undertaking a commercial turn. This is legit, of course, as it is your work and you can do whatever you want with it.
In order to avoid further misunderstandings in the future, I would like to ask if you have any commercial plans about the plugin “ecosystem”, as you call it. This question is of the utmost importance, because if you do, the work of the community would be heavily impacted.
Think of this scenario: you (hypothetically, of course) put some of your own plugins under a payment plan. Even though the plugins in question are your own work, the commercial plan would create a conflict with the work of the community because they may submit plugins that perform the same tasks of your commercial ones. And you, in your position of supervisors, have the power of orientating user’s choices and even (again, hypothetically) boycott those who may be seen as potential competitors.
In some recent posts, you pointed out the need of a thorough revision of the plugin ecosystem and you strengthen your position as supervisors: this would be (again, hypothetically) a perfect step towards the above scenario.
So, for the sake of clarity, please answer the question: do you have any commercial plans for (or somehow related to) the plugin ecosystem?
Thank you for your attention.

HiFiberry say they require the PSU to come up to nominal in 200 ms !!
Volumio 3.152
After powering using a live (5V) connector I have been able to listen to Web radio faultlessly for several hours.
My next step is to pass the Metadata from MPD to my PreAmp display, I’ll raise any problems I have in DIY and Tweaks.
Great stuff guys!

Issue:
I am using DLNA media server on my windows machine, and for some reason it didn’t get all music and playlists were partly cut off, but now I noticed this happens at the point of the band “BLØF”, Im assuming this /O is not properly supported?
EDIT: Does not seem to be related, I removed the entire artists folder from my media folder, the playlists are still all cut off after certain points (some after only 5-10 numbers, one only after 80 or so songs) the upcoming songs are also available to play through the web UI so it is not like it can’t find these.
Note: Sad to see Manifest is a premium option now

I am not sure this plugin needs some tweaking for Volumio3. I will ask the developer to port it ASAP

Okay Ive attempted numerous things at this point, even creating a folder with all my playlists songs in it (57), when opening this folder directly through volumio it only lists 22 songs
Coinicidentally, these are also the first 22 songs (sorted alphabetically by song name)
Actually, Volumio is what it has always been: an open-source project, backed by a company, which needs funding to operate and improve.
In the beginning, our source of income was just the OEM (providing Volumio technology to manufacturers), but this ended up in us developing only what was prioritized by such companies. With MyVolumio we achieved the ability to develop features asked by the community, since the revenues helped do the required investments.
I am not sure what you mean by “commercial”, but it’s good to clarify what we are planning and what is the rationale behind it.
The plugin store as we have designed it will allow any developer to publish their plugins either free (as it is now) or paid. The infrastructure is already there (with this new iteration) and once Volumio3 is up and running we will do the remaining part (UI and payment provider).
The idea behind it is that this way, if someone wishes to sell their plugins, they can do so, and hopefully get something back from it. Or, attract other services providers to publish “top-notch” stuff into Volumio.
We are also considering to publish eventually some of our plugins outside of the subscription plan (we get this request a lot from the community) but as of now, there is not a plan to do so.
That would go against our principles, and frankly be also quite counterproductive.
I’ve already stated elsewhere (in a couple of discussions) that we (as Volumio) are not against “competitor plugins” and that they will be accepted if they respect the same guidelines as all other plugins have to respect (first of which: do not conflict with the good working of Volumio core).
And that’s not just wishful thinking: we already do that. There is a third-party CD plugin (paid one) that is currently accepted into Volumio2. So, if we would have wanted to “boycott competitors” we would already have done it.
The example of CD Plugin is actually something that made us see the potential of this system. We offer a simple way for people who want to sell plugins to do it (without setting up clunky authentication and so on) and we provide a seamless experience to those who want to use them.
Publishing a plugin, free or paid, will be a prerogative of the developer.
Last, but not least, I personally think that competition (if fair) eventually lead to making things better. And this is our ultimate goal with Volumio = make it the best music player out there.
This requires skill, passion, motivation but also financial resources, hence the “commercial part”.
Side note, you might see that the things that we’ve worked on the most for Volumio3, are the ones that got suggested us in a poll we did in May to understand what our users wanted the most:
Last, consider that it requires us double the effort to do anything, as we are an open source project, trying to grow without betraying FOSS principles (which is freedom of choice). It would be much much more simpler to just do something proprietary, but we truly believe in the FOSS principles and in open ecosystem, so we won’t change this

What is the DLNA\UPNP Server that you are using?
Windows 10 media sharing
Thank you so much for your prompt and exhaustive replay.
As I joined the Volumio community only recently, I missed some details of the articulated world behind Volumio and my vision was oversimplified. Your explanation makes my understanding of your plugin infrastructure much clearer.
Thanks again for the excellent work you are doing with Volumio 3
