Alright, the guide to update MPD (and hopely solve some problems for us HAKAI-users with ESI dac) The Volumio developers have compiled several Volumio-MPD versions on their Github, which can be build and replace the MPD you are currently using (mine was 20.6, which is very old, compared to the new o...

I thought we already concluded that ESI Gigaport HD+ is better? *grin*

Aye, affirmative
But ThomasOK asked for this comparison, so I did
(And it is fun to do)

2 x 2 clips HAKAI ESI dac vs RME dac MPD version 20.21 instrumental this time https://www.dropbox.com/s/i03bx65unwdtog0/IMG_7712.MOV?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ozpcv90199o96s/IMG_7713.MOV?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/19u3g6qjdflasv9/IMG_7715.MOV?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/8adso13szb7ffy4/...

I have upgraded MPD to 0.20.21 With some pointers from Volumio forum (seems they have newer Volumio-MPD builds ready for future releases) Running stable so far It might solve issues people experiencing Will post instructions later I suggest not to upgrade if you don’t have issues with your current v...

What is it that appeals about 3?

Different instruments and voice are easier to follow, clearer
Clip 1 and 2 made me want to stop listening halfway
@ iPad senheisser headphones

Sofar not been able to install newer MPD
Getting stuck at: meson . output/release --buildtype=debugoptimized -Db_ndebug=true
Using this install guide: https://musicpd.org/doc/html/user.html

3,2,1 for me in both clips
The gap in performance between 3 to 2 and 1 is bigger then 2 to 1

Seems not easy to install… Volumio uses older dependancy libraries
Will look into it later

Try this

In web-ui select different output and save
You get msg player successfully restarted
Select your dac again and save
You get msg player successfully restarted
Hard reboot with SSH/putty (not with web-ui)

Alright, step by step guide: 14. Type: sudo apt-get install upmdcli (and press Y when prompted; this will install latest upmpdcli) Just found a typo, upmpdcli is missing a p in the command, so It didn't install when I did a copy and paste. Oops... corrected, thanks for identifying Volumio is now ca...

It behaves MUCH better after those steps! For instance, I can do basic stuff like play a new song, jump between songs etc. PHEW! :-D Thank you! Do you also have a weirdness that with some songs in the playlist and you click STOP, the playlist becomes empty? (Same if it plays to the end of the playl...

I also get the hangups. Since I start/stop/skip etc all the time, especially now while evaluating HAKAI, I constantly get stuck. Sopper, I know that your guide is not written for the latest Volumio version but I tried anyway. Beware that the two URL:s in step 10 seems to be contracted, at least in ...

Bubble UPnP?

Hi Sopper, thanks for the guidance. For my understanding: is this write down meant for solving issues on IoS devices running Kazoo? I downgraded from the July release to this April release applying your manual, but no luck with Kazoo on my iPad so far. What happens in Kazoo? PM me details and I’ll ...

There's a new version on the website. It has Qobuz and Tidal natively. This should have the newest kernel? No it’s based on older kernel I have not been able to get it stable, but that might be my setup and configuration demands And I was not able to use Linn Kazoo for streaming Qobuz in this “nati...

Adding a network disk in web-ui or Volumio app, just makes the music available in the web-ui or app. It has no purpose if you will use different control point. I reckon you’re running a media server on your NAS? Like Twonky, minimserver, asset server, etc. Your control point (Kazoo or Lumin or Bubbl...

I used 2 x 4GB
Not because I need 8GB memory, but Gigabyte states on their website that it’s better to have 2 memory slots used instead of 1.
(But I cannot find this statement anymore, I’m sure I’ve read it somewhere on their website)

Added step 12a and 12b to prevent aborting installation of UPMPDCLI (invalid key)

4.1.12 (Arrakis)
Or it might be 4.1.3 and got updated to 4.1.12

Alright, step by step guide: 1. Download http://updates.volumio.org/x86/volumio/2.394/volumio-2.394-2018-04-14-x86.img.zip 2. Create a bootable USB disk like described on the Volumio website 3. I trust that you can start this Volumio image like you did before? On a laptop or PC other then your HAKAI...

I had no issues installing OMV, works like a charm

I am making this post to help people who still didn't manage to run Volumio stable with ESI dac. Since 2 days i've managed to run a stable Volumio build on HAKAI with ESI dac. No more freezes, MPD crashing, UPMPDCLI crashing, stop playing when switching or adding songs, etc. I am not sure if it is c...

iPad and iPhone warning for unsafe website and don’t remember me. Windows explorer did remember me Thank you! Server settings changed. I think that now it will always redirect to https and no warning should come. Please report if the re-login problem persists. I don't think it will. Working like a ...

What do you mean by running more stable and dev volumio build Sopper Unlike others, I have had major and minor problems (and was getting really frustrated) running Volumio on HAKAI with ESI dac and my specific configuration wishes and demands. I will explain and go through the steps I made to get t...
