App Profile: Volumio

This platform is far too buggy and user-unfriendly to invest in. I’m running a Raspberry Pi and this app. It only reads a portion of the music on my DLNA (Plex) server. All of my music is in fully compatible formats. The app is very buggy itself with illogical navigation.

I love this app for streaming lossless subscription service. I have only used related features, I don’t have a large collection of music on hard drives, so do not have any experience with that. It does freeze and is sometimes really slow, but the features are great and - i often share a stream to multiple pi- sourced stereos around my house for background music, which is a great feature. It sometimes needs a reboot to get the pi’s to share, so I’m hoping there are improvements in the pipeline. I also assume that all my problems with the system are on the pi side, not iOS. All in all, this system is worth the hassles, and hopefully it’ll continue to improve.

And it now does mostly what you’d expect. Very fast connection to your Volumio instances on start (before, it often could not even find my Volumio instances.) A huge improvement and I now find myself actually using the app more than the Web interface for the first, it’s so good. Congrats to the developer, as this was formerly a major shortfall in the platform.
