Can Volumio render video as well as audio with the new upnp support?

Still no v1.4 image for the original Cubox – please can you publish one…
It would be nice if the UI could detect when it was being served to a mobile browser and hide the library tab, which as others have said is useless on a smartphone screen.
Also (can’t test in v1.4 till a Cubox image comes out) in v1.2 I just noticed the other day filenames with non-ascii characters seem to be ignored, I had to rename a whole load of files with French accented words in the filenames to get Volumio to recognise them. Would be nice if this could be fixed.

I hope we’ll see support for the Hummingbird board from SolidRun. I have mine on pre-order. Is there any ETA for when support might be available for the hummingbird board?

In reply to Conflict of Interests. Yes, it is. Since I think others may be interested in it (even if it is in experimental phase) just jump in the forum and open a thread for that. I'll guide you to achieve this.

Hi, I wonder if you have any recommendations for a DNLA/UPNP ios app? I want to have a home server, 3 cubox-i controlled by an iPad able to play in any rooms and with synchronous playback, is that possible? Big donation if it is 😀

In reply to Volumio. Maybe implement an option where you can turn off the elements one doesn't need? The main problem right now is, that the ui just stopped working for me completely. The buttons dont work and I can't add songs to the playlist. I tried it with Firefox and Chrome on Linux and Mac, and with Chrome on Android. All have the same problems. I tried some debugging, but couldn't get to the source of the problem. I can however provide you with any information that you might need to fix the problem. Just ask :)

Hi, after installing 1.4 i started to hear cracks when I hear music. This happens not only when I play my USB Hard drive files but when I play Webradio too. I did not have any sound issues (carcks) with 1.2 version. I played with different settings but it did not help. Please advice what should I do. It is very annoying… BTW> Thanks for your work:)

In reply to bluesky. The webui update.sh updates only the WebUI. In this case doing just that will result in a incomplete system, since there are updated and new packages to be installed. So, for example, you will end up with non working shairport (since new version uses different execution syntax) and no UPNP or DLNA support. Webuiupdate works only if the RootFS (the filesystem) is the same, this happens for example with bugfixes versions like 1.3 and 1.3bis.
