Hi !
Ok no problem ,

So you can show me some advice for scan from usb music file??

I try do for fix it,

Thank your advice!
Mac

First:
I think volumio should switch to names instead of numbers in selecting audio device.
“hw0,1” can change sometimes, but “plughw:sndrpihifiberry” is always the same i think.

Second:
What about device browsing in 3.15?

Third:
Bullseye is not so far away, maybe wait until it is released and switch directly from 7 to 11 :wink:

Greetings guys,

  1. This is a Volumio BE issue, and is being tackled separately :slight_smile: I’ve been focusing more on the Build system and getting working Buster images…
  2. Have some hunches about this, still have to confirm the fix…
  3. Bulleseye is still a few months away (hard freeze scheduled for 2021-03-12), the upgrade to it should be less painful that our current 7-10 jump :wink:

Thank you so much…
Still searching for building armv8 :
on the github link you provided to me,
it talks about armv8 switch: does it work with pi switch? Are they still working on it?

Like I said, it’s not going to work out of the box like that – you will have to tinker with the scripts to pick the right kernel and userspace…

Should i test/try something to help?

I’m a bit preoccupied for the next few days, but the plan is to switch from the old node v8 to a much more recent node v14, once we have new builds for that, will update you! :slight_smile:

I can’t use airplay ever since version 8. Is there anything I should do to enable it?

Hmm, it should be enabled on 3.015 – can you share a log?

http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/sFLUyBJ.html

Thanks for that, I don’t see anything apparent about airplay failing, the service seems to launch…

Can you debug a bit more with:

systemctl status shairport-sync
cat /lib/systemd/system/shairport-sync.service
journalctl -u shairport-sync
ps -ef | grep shairport-sync

PS: you might want to move your pihole installation to different pi :wink:

Thanks for taking time to check it.
The airplay did not work even without the pihole (it was working fine on ver 8 though). Now, even the pihole is playing up with the latest version. I might try fresh installation and give you the new log and the debuging result. I will do it over the weekend when I am free.

Thank you

Edit:

Here is the new log from fresh install. No airplay still.

Ah, not sure why it’s picking up the service from /etc/init.d/shairport-sync.
Can you try manually creating /lib/systemd/system/shairport-sync.service?

# How many services do we have?
systemctl list-units | grep shairport
which shairport-sync
# Should be /usr/bin/shairport-sync

# Fetch the service file 
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/volumio/Build/volumioOS/volumio/lib/systemd/system/shairport-sync.service -O /lib/systemd/system/shairport-sync.service

# Confirm that it's in the there 
cat /lib/systemd/system/shairport-sync.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start shairport-sync
systemctl status shairport-sync
systemctl stop shairport-sync
# Now restart Volumio's Node Back end 
systemctl restart volumio

PS: it’s easier if you copy paste from your terminal into code blocks (</> icon), rather than screenshots that can’t be accessed as text…

now it is showing this:

`volumio@volumio:~$ systemctl status shairport-sync                              ● shairport-sync.service - Shairport Sync - AirPlay Audio Receiver

Could you post the outputs of these commands?

which shairport-sync
shairport-sync --version
cat /lib/systemd/system/shairport-sync.service

here:

volumio@volumio:~$ which shairport-sync
/usr/local/bin/shairport-sync
volumio@volumio:~$ shairport-sync --version

Ah, seems to be a miss match in the installation location of the old images, please try

sudo ln -s $(which shairport-sync) /usr/bin/shairport-sync
systemctl restart shairport-sync
