Any News about Volumio with new Raspberry Pi 4 Computer Model B 4GB RAM ?
work it well ?
this is the new features
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is the latest product in the popular Raspberry Pi range of computers. It offers ground-breaking increases in processor speed, multimedia performance, memory, and connectivity compared to the prior-generation Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, while retaining backwards compatibility and similar power consumption. For the end user, Raspberry Pi 4 Model B provides desktop performance comparable to entry-level x86 PC systems.
This product’s key features include a high-performance 64-bit quad-core processor, dual-display support at resolutions up to 4K via a pair ofmicro-HDMI ports, hardware video decode at up to 4Kp60, 4GB of RAM, dual-band 2.4/5.0 GHz wireless LAN, Bluetooth 5.0, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, and PoE capability (via a separate PoE HAT add-on).
The dual-band wireless LAN and Bluetooth have modular compliance certification, allowing the board to be designed into end products with significantly reduced compliance testing, improving both cost and time to market.

H.264 (1080p60 decode, 1080p30 encode)
OpenGL ES 3.0-capable builtin GPU (Videocore VI 3D engine)
So far so good. It works ok with an audioquest dragonfly red . Radio 80.80s app works fine. But I can’t login to Spotify, I put my password in and when I click on save and nothing happens ( no confirmation), and no surprise it gets hot but I think that’s something raspberry pi have to try and fix. I hope That helps you a bit.
Hi,
I have tried this release on a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB. I am not doing anything fancy just streaming music off a nas, to a Music Fidelity V-Link 192. All is going very well, loving the true gigabit Ethernet to transfer files! I will test the 1 gb PI 4 tomorrow.
Hello, I am going to buy a new PI for a Volumio unit to setup, do you think the old good PI 3+ (or even B) is enaugh ? Or you suggest the new 4 ? I think the 3 is cheaper and less hot …
