Hmm, I believe I teststed playback from a collection. Let me check it again...
Here is what I've tested:
Created a database file on Pi with Kandinsky Edition for the audio files under /home/pi/music directory.
Installed that database file on Windows desktop and successfully player collection files with Malevich Edition
Installed the datatbase file on Pi with Malevich Edition and successfully played collection files.
Created a database file on Pi with Malevich Edition
Susccessfully played collection files on the same Pi with Malevich Edition
Could you try to create a small database file for example for one directory and see if it works. Thanks!
Hi, it's a collection of music stored on the NAS. I didn't think it had to be listed in the music folder in Peppy. I mean, the correct one is "/home/pi/music/Rock"(NAS) and the wrong one is "/home/pi/music". I mean, sorry, the playback works.
But if I may ask, I can't search for radio stations. I mean Country and language, after selecting an item the player freezes. Genre and title find something, but after marking it the player freezes.
OK, checking the Radio Browser...
I've tested the Radio Browser functionality. It works fine (except saving the favorites). Could you check that the volume level is high enough when you select a station? Another test which you can make - use Radio Browser without display. Use a Web Browser on your desktop or mobile device (http://raspberrypi:8000). This way we can eliminate the display as a root cause.
If it still fails I need all steps to reproduce the issue, right from the startup - what did you do, which items selected in menu.

Hey, the problem might be in the translation process into the player's chosen language. In Czech it freezes and in English it works. I guess I'll have to mention this in the configuration description... The first time I found a station, the volume was almost maximum, after switching to another station and searching for another one, the volume has leveled off. And the loudness is the same when switching from another player language, in my case from English back to Czech.
And when controlling via web and or display, it freezes as well.
edit: After completing the items to the Czech labels.properties select.country = Vyber Zemi select.language = Vyber Jazyk I get to select the station, but then it freezes again.
That's probably the issue - missing labels for different languages. Let me check and come back with a fix...
There were those two missing labels for Czech and Dutch. But after adding those lables it worked fine. Could you try to use any other language German or French? Otherwise please give me all steps to reproduce the issue. Thanks!

Hi, There will probably still be some problem with translations, because sometimes it works flawlessly and sometimes I can't move around in the menu. Some language works reliably only after a reboot When the screen freezes, it changes the language in the web interface. Plus when I have to wait even more than a minute for a reboot, it really bothers me. The volume really changes from max to set when switching from radio browser to radio, even after reboot.
Hi, I tried using the Malevich edition of Waveshare 7.0 and now it seems to be working. I was using the official 7.0 before but you don't provide that now, so I used headless and that's probably not ideal for me. Still, the max volume surprised me once and that was when switching from collection files to radio.

I faced many issues and spent too much time trying to make SPI and DSI displays working with the latest versions of OS, Python and Pygame. I gave up and decided to support only HDMI displays for now. If display makers will provide solutions I'll probably continue making disk images for SPI and DSI displays. Said that, I don't guarantee that SPI and DSI displays will be working with existing disk images. You are lucky if you found a working solution.
I'll try to fix the volume issue during the coming weekend. Best regards
Please let me know if this fix works for you: https://github.com/project-owner/PeppyPlayers.doc/wiki/Known-Issues#jumping-volume-level-while-switching-modes Thanks!
Hi, Looks like it's working fine. When switching between radio playback, Nas playback and radio viewer, everything is at the same volume. Good job. Thanks

Hi, With the new version of the player, I can't play from the collection again. As an audio file it can play, but when I try to play it from the collection it says file not found. There is no Error in the log file, just Debug and Info.
