Here ya go...
Config: RPi3b+, 64gb sd card, Rune 0.5b, Music is on RPi usb stick
Audio out of RPi 3.5mm audio jack into 3.5mm audio in on battery powered local speaker (Altec Lansing)
Testing setup: using current version of Firefox on my Windows 10 box (fully updated), RPi is hardwired to my LAN with ip address of 192.168.1.22.
Observations:
I get error when connecting to my Windows Network share //jjh_workstation/Music. Complains about not having permission (share is marked for Everyone, r/w/m)
Sometimes this problem is a SMB version error, so I configure that directory to be backward compatable with SMB v1….still did not work. (is strange because the same share works on Volumio)
At 100% volume, the volume at the speaker is low. Speaker volume level is maximum. Tried adjusting volume control: disabled/software/hardware, no effect.
MPD configuration Screen: Changing from Analog out to HDMI out stops music on speaker (as it should) but then switching back to Analog out results in extremely slow playback (about 50% normal speed)
With track playing…I did Menu-> MPD (configuration) - > Volume knob –changed to realtime. Then -> Save and Apply button at bottom of screen. Playback stopped (as I expected) then started playing at beginning of the track that was playing before I clicked Save, but the volume ‘control’ on the Playback screen could not be moved…was stuck at 100%. Machine was wedged. Had to power cycle. Other controls seem to have worked (I could advance the track position by clicking on various parts of the circle, I could advance to the next track, I could get the menu to drop down and change)
Realtime setting on volume control seems to have broken volume control…holding the volume up/down icons have absolutely no effect on the actual volume or the control movement.
The volume control is broken as well. I have the startup volume set to 80 and when the UI starts up, the volume control is set to 100. Cant seem to move it (either playing a track or not playing a track).
Constantly tapping the mute icon under the volume control results in the indicator flashing to the -1 position the flashes back to 100%.
Now I tried my ipad tablet. Same behavior with the volume control as above, in all aspects.
On the plus side, the web app seems to be very fast and is visually appealing. Sigh, too bad it is buggy….
