V 2.773 Track selection

What do you mean with one click volume steps broken? It works. What is your setup and what does not work?

I have the same issue.

Using the android app, I don’t have the 3 dots on the right. I cannot choose to play one song. The entire cd is added to the que, then I have to delete the rest of the songs on the cd just to hear one song.

This issue almost makes Volumio unusable. It’s horrible. I’m failing to see how anyone thought this would be a good thing.

Can we please have a fix??

Thanks-you.

We have been requested this playback feature for long time.
I see that it creates discomfort for you. No problem, we can add a setting in playback option :wink:

I’ll try and be as detailed as possible any other info please ask.

I have an RPI 3B+ with a Topping D10 DAC connected via USB and set to use Hardware mixer ( obviously for best quality)
Volumio 2.729

Due to the small volume adjust bar, I have added a rotary encoder to hopefully control the volume a little more precisely.
This all works fine if I set the One Click Volume steps to 5, it goes from 0 to 100 in steps of 5 as you would expect.

The problem occurs when I set the One Click Volume steps to 1, it will start at 0 and count up to 14 thats all.
Its not the rotary encoder as I get the same result if I click the +vol icon, but you can slide the slider and that will adjust the volume to various levels as it should.
One Click Volume steps of 2, that goes to 58 before it stops

From playing around, it seems to work OK with mixer type set to software ( not ideal )
output device set to HDMI and mixer type set to Hardware also seems to work fine too
Problem occurs when Output device is set to USB and mixer type set to Hardware.

I even thought it was the DAC causing the issue, but I installed Moode yesterday, that seems to work fine with hardware mixer set and steps of 1 will count from 0 to 100 without issues.

What is causing it not to go above a certain level ?
Is there any way of making it go 0 to 100 in steps of 1 or 2 without having to set it to software mixer ?

Thanks

Hi @M1ck and others

I didn’t check the mobile size window but you are correct !, can be a bit tricky to handle

A setting for this feature will be good :wink:

Hi
I have observed also me that I can not play a și gle song from qobuz, I need to play on album level…
Thanks

The track selection which was always cumbersome since there was no way to select several tracks at once now ‘does not autohide’ after you select a track. One has to click outside the track list to make it ‘disappear’ in order to select another track.
In addition, for the last couple of versions the ‘progress bar’ only initially displays the correct time, later it seems to always restart at 0.

In ver 2.776 is this feature changeable by a setting in Playback options “Playback mode” , the default value is “Single” (in my case it was set to “single” after update)
:slight_smile:

Excellent :smiley: . I can easily select individual tracks again.
Although I did a clean install of V2.776 and the default setting was continuous. (not that it matters, as long as there is a setting to change between the two is what counts. Keeps every body happy then. )

One Click Volume steps is still broken though if you want 1 or 2 steps at a time.

Hm, I don’t see that option under 'Settings" > “Playback Options” and yes, I have 2.776 and “Full Settings Mode” enabled?

Where can i find v 2.776?

This is a testing build?
Thanks

Mine works fine on a laptop but not on a tablet as per previous vv versions.
I can click on the 3 dots but nothing happens, on the tablet, fine on laptop

Can we have some information on this version?
Thanks

This is a dev version… So not intended to be used for ‘stable’ operation…

Hi There

I’m really glad to hear this. When will it be coming out please?

thanks

Ian

By how long, I mean for this feature to be implemented?

thanks again!

Ian

I have found that on android tablet version 4.4.2 it works fine with queue selection, on android 6.0 it only has no ability to click on 3 dots and add to queue. On windows 10 laptop all good.

Is this really fixed ?

I’ve got 2 raspberry pi’s with Volumio. Running 2.806. Using the classic GUI. Music is mounted via CIFS.

I can only play (and queue) a single file if I click on the menu-icon (right upper corner of the square for the song), and then select “Play”. Or “Clear and play”.

When I click on the “play”-button (button in left-lower corner, with the triangle in a circle), all songs in the album are queued, and this song is played first. And when the song is finished, the remaining songs in the album are played. Just like others are complaining here. Same thing happens when I click in the upper left corner (so not on one of the 3 icons on the square).

I have changed the “settings -> playback options -> General Playback Options -> Playback Mode” from “Contineous” to “Single”. That doesn’t do anything. I’ve changed it a few times. I’ve rebooted after changes. Nothing helps. I can only play a single song by using the menu-icon. So to me, it seems this issue has not been fixed ?! Maybe there is a regression ? Maybe it doesn’t work with the classic GUI ? Is there anything I can do to help debug this ? (Look at config files, e.g.).

Small complaint: I’m very happy with my Volumio player. And I’m thankful that it’s free. I almost don’t dare to have any criticism. But I do.

I can not understand why the team has made this change ? This is core-functionality. “How to play a song with Volumio”. You can’t make it more basic than that. If you want to add functionality, that’s fine of course. But make the new behaviour optional. Make it configurable. Dont’ change the default. People are used to certain behaviour. Especially when it’s such simple and easy to understand behaviour: “I click on an album, it plays the album. I click on a song, it plays the song”. Now it’s “I click on an album, it plays the album. I click on a song, it also plays the album”. Very counter-intuitive, imho.

And on top of that, the new option to select the old-fashioned, straight-forward, easy-to-understand option doesn’t seem to work.

I’ve seen a lot of software change the default behaviour of their GUI. Or move stuff around. When most users were completely happy with the old GUI or old functionality. Why always change stuff that’s good ? Adding stuff is better than changing the defaults. If you do this often enough, you’ll start driving users away.

One last issue: after I check the Playback Mode, and click “save”, my volumio-player can not access the files over CIFS anymore. Happens on both my players. I need to reboot the system for Volumio to “see” the folders/files/albums/songs again. I suspect something goes wrong with the config-file ? This bug is just a small incovenience, no problem. Just wanted to report it.
