A few days days ago I could not reach the address volumio.local on my network. I did a quick IP address scan and found volumio-16.local. When I accessed that address, I was able to reach my volumio instance as intended.
My player name is volumio (by default). I have automatic IP address both for wired and wireless ports. running on rpi, version 3
When I reboot the unit, the network address returns to volumio.local. However, after some time (a few days or so), the address changes to say volumio-2.local
Hope that works. I had a few problems with the multiroom functions when I used fixed addresses. Mine have automatic set, but for some reason my router never changes the address.
Hi phamiltonsmith, be very welcome to Volumio & (the next best bit) it’s Community.
Network name discovery is pretty “crap” unless it works in your situation (MAC guys & girls are smirking now). Windows, Linux, Android can all work, but in my experience, not reliably. Stick with the IP address & make it static at your router (or Volumio GUI) is my advice.
