If I understand it correctly, the Volumio plugin is a stream player, rather than an interface for our playback API. That means that the skip function and Favorites playlist can't be implemented. 

As for your phone, I don't see that issue on Firefox on my Note 10 (running Android 10). Our web player works just fine. What device are you using? Anyone else seeing that? 

These are about the RP plugin for Volumio, which as I understand it, it written by a third party - so I'll post them here, but if there is a way to contact the author of that plugin directly, that would be great!

First is a bug: the skip song button doesn't do that - but actually stops the player. I am logging into Volumio on my Raspberry Pi 4B, using my Android phone and the Duck Duck Go browser.
Second is a bug in Firefox on my Android 10 phone: it truncates the bottom of the screen, so I can't see the play/pause and skip buttons.
Third is a feature request: if we could login to our RP account, and be able to play our Favorites - this would be AWESOME. I can do this on a Windows computer, and it would be lovely to also be able to on the Volumio Raspberry Pi.

So, I found the place to post this:

https://community.volumio.org/...

I hope this helps others.

Got it.  It's been the way I've been dealing with it all along anyway.  Just noticed the problem and thought I would ask about it.

Everything else is good. I am grateful that the old building is still standing. Thanks.

There are a *lot* of glitchy bits in the legacy website code. I know you don't like the font we use on the new site (or something like that), but the old site is guaranteed to frustrate you in various ways — and there's very little chance of things like that getting fixed. Unlike the new site — which is written using standardized tools and maintained by a competent coder (jarro) — the old site was written by me, by hand, and hence can only be maintained by me. 

It's like an ancient apartment building that has had the same quirky maintenance guy for decades. He's always "fixed" and "improved" stuff his own way, improvising as he went. Now he's moved out of the building, into a nice new condo where trained professionals keep everything running. From time to time he gets called back to the old building to help them out of a jam — but at this point he can't even remember how or why he did the things he did. His advice to the owners is just to tear the creaky mess down, but they have tenants that refuse to leave, so they just throw up their hands and say "sorry, deal with it or move out". 

It's like that.

I just noticed logging in to the new website a couple of pm's that did not show up on the old website's message list which I use most all of the time.

And it also showed as already read when I did find the one I was looking for.

Eh ?

Suggestions for New Mixes

I love the "My Favorites" mix, but it has two inherent problems for me. First, it doesn't feed my need for new songs, and second, the more I listen to it the more I become tired of some of the songs I have rated a 7. I know, I could change the rating, but I mostly listen to the mix as a downloaded cache block while in my car, not the best time to be trying to change song ratings (can you even do that when listening to a cache?)

So I would suggest two new mixes. The first would be an "auto-skip" mix, which would be the RP Main Mix, but it would automatically skip any song I had rated as a 3 or lower.

The second mix idea would be for a mix of all-new songs, songs that had been played for the first time on RP in, say, the last 30 or 60 days.

Working perfectly from today!! Thanks again!!

If All goes well the Alexa skill should be available in Spain in the next day or two.

Hi!

I'm listening from Spain. The Alexa skill isn't available from here because it's only in Spanish (MX) language, not in Spanish (SP). Is it easy to you to make it available in Spanish (SP)?

Thanks!!

If you could join the beta and see if the version there is any better,  that would be helpful.
I'll push out an update over the next couple of days as well.
So  4.4.13 is in beta now,   and should see 4.4.14  or higher in the next few days.

Been keeping my eye out to get one of the new Chromecast dongles.   They look like a nice improvement over their past devices.
Unfortunately not widely available yet.

Hey all.  I keep on struggling with the Android App. Every time I try to boot the RP app, it's about 50-50 if it works and starts playing, or it crashes and I get a usually grey, sometimes black screen that doesn't go away.  This is on nvidia shield and google chromecast with google TV (the new chromecast runs the full ATV operating system).. 

Anything I can do? Bugreports? Beta versions? Call up Google on your behalf?

Small aside, the images RP shows are beautiful but tend to be fairly low resolution, or am I imagining things? Any chance we can go to 4K images on 4K displays?

That's odd. You might try a different browser & see what happens. No other reports of problems like that, though.

Not my site, I'm just a listener.
I use Firefox, or Safari, or Opera. Chromium doesn't play the music, never found out why up to today.

Ok... if you have wire transfer details, I'm happy to look into that. I had allowed all JS etc. already. Can it be that your site only works with Chrome?

As for security reasons, both might be a bad idea, really. I use direct money-transfer, account2account, wherever available.
You might have to allow Javascript for this domain, specifically:

I'm not even getting to the point where it would ask me for payment details, and I pressed dozens of times. I'm stuck on the first menu. And, btw, Paypal sounds worse to me than credit card. What would you suggest?
