Interesting, Gordon. Are those the cables that the DAC was tested, and therefore, 'voiced' with?Quote:

Knew it was too good to be true! switched on today and i go to usb all the albums are there ..pick one and it plays but in playlist there is nothing and in playback it comes up as nan undefined. wont switch off either... i powered it off at wall and restarted and nothing changed. odd that as i though at least the ip would have and probably would have lost the library. so i can play but the interface is gone...boo hoo!
mightcadd when you select to play album it only plays first track repeatedly
Sounds like a corrupted SD card, mate....
Why bother switching off at all, though? I leave mine powered up 24/7, and simply click on a saved Volumio tab on my desktop, whenever I want to play music on the RPi, and I'm away in seconds - and it's been like that since day 1 :cool:
Lesson to be learned: leave it on all the time and there's less chance of things getting buggered up!

In process of writing another volumio onto a different card to try. If it dont work then I will be back to the old methods it seems ...never mind it was fun for a week. Not very satisfactory that it cant be switched of reliably though without f**king up
Not really, it's still a computer running an operating system. If you switch of your laptop without shutting it down first you can cause file corruption, the RPi is no different. Volumio has a shutdown menu option you should use it if you wish to power off...
I have had that a couple of times - first time I thought I'd need to remake the card but after a longer period off it was fine by next boot up.Quote:

Oh i do use it to power down every night. once it is finished powering down i just switch off at wall. in morning i power up and it has up till now been fine. have made another image but it doesnt work.
Changing settings requires a system reboot for them to be effective in some cases. I also find refreshing the system with a reboot a good way to chase out gremlins (and Volumio, like any other OS, has its fair share)Quote:

Sure, rebooting is fine (and recommended occasionally). Full powering off from the mains is another matter entirely, and not recommended.Quote:
