not sure you care or maybe not aware, but when you enable hw or sw for volume control, you are NOT bit perfect anymore....you may want/need the convenience over the quality....YMMV

Hi jlynton,
I have posted an answer here: hardware-volume-control-not-working-t1204-10.html#p26013

My hardware volume control is now working beautifully thanks to Janui's fix at hardware-volume-control-not-working-t1204-10.html#p26013

The only other slight problem that I have noticed so far is that the volume + and - buttons below the rotary slider (which is smooth, a delight to use), sometimes do not respond at all, and otherwise are unpredictable, increasing or decreasing the volume by what seem to be random amounts, either 1, 2 or 3 + or - respectfully.

This is by no means a deal-breaker, in general 0.5b seems to work very well, sound lovely (except when my wife listens to crooners! ), And is definitely, to my mind, preferable to volumio, which I have used as a backup system for a few days.

Hello,i try to update the music library on 2 different nas servers and the problem is that my library stuck on both of them.is it a way to see from ssh wiich file has the problem ,so i can remove it, i think there isa way to see the online log.thanks

Hi satlover1,

in most cases, errors or non-music files in the library cause such problems.
RuneAudio relies on MPD to scan the library.

You can try to enable verbose logging on the MPD page (MENU->Mpd).
The log can be found in /var/log/runeaudio/mpd.log

- Use sftp to access files on Rune Audio:
Get WinSCP from and install it.
When it opens setup the following:
- Session
File Protocol: SCP
Host name: The IP address of your Raspberry Pi
User name: root
Password: rune

That's it, connect and you can transfer files just by dragging and dropping.

Hi

Even if avahi is working better for me.
I still have some issues with Linux clients. After some time I lose connections to avahi. This not append only with runeaudio.

Since 3 looks to be solved, but as I modify 2 points... Not sure the 1 is suffisant

First, I notice that avahi-daemeon switch from 6.xxx to 7, but we keep old parameters (this is the default with Linux).
As avahi web site explain that default parameter have change in 7, i switch to new default configuration

Open a console
cp /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf.sav
cp /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf.pacnew /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf
systemctl restart avahi-daemon

Second
Update 0.5 as describe in first post, you will lose ui extensions... so few work here

Refresh your client (refresh dhcp, refresh connections or reboot....)
