Stream audio to Volumio

• Volumio Plugin Collection
• Volumio Local

Volumio usually uses music it finds locally (internal memory, USB disk, ..) or on the network (Spotify, web radio, DLNA server, ..). But it is also able to receive an audio stream directly from devices connected on the local network, such as a smartphone or a computer: in this case, Volumio acts as a renderer, and converts the stream to sound, played through the attached audio device.It understands two protocols: UPnP/DLNA or AirPlay.

Add Spotify Playlist to Volumio: Volumio Spotify Plugin. The direct way to listen to Spotify music on Volumio is to install the Volumio Spotify plugin. But it should be noticed that this method is only available for Spotify premium or family accounts. Now let's see how to install the Volumio Spotify. Free Spotify Premium Account Passwords 2021 There are many free accounts available on the web which you can use to access the premium features of Spotify. Also, there are sites like BugMeNot available where users share their Spotify premium accounts with other users. You can use them as well. Volumio has a folder called 'INTERNAL' set aside for this, which uses the free space on your SD card. The folder is shared on your network as a Samba share called 'Internal Storage'. You can upload music files to that share and they will be shown in your Volumio music library, in a folder called 'INTERNAL'.

UPnP - DLNA

• Volumio is a UPnP Media Renderer front-end for MPD (the Music Player Daemon used in Volumio), thanks to upmpdcli

Airplay

• AirPlay is an equivalent protocol to DLNA, but proprietary and developed by Apple. It is used by default by iTunes, and on iPhone, iPad, ..
• This protocol is now available on other non-Apple sources (see below)

Both protocols are implemented by default in your Volumio device and nothing needs to be configured there.However some setup may be needed on your other device to enable sending streams to Volumio.Usually, what will happen is all the sound going to the speakers attached to the sending device will be redirected to a DLNA or AirPlay stream, that you then send to Volumio.

Stream from Windows

Volumio Plugin Collection

• You have several solutions to stream from Windows
  • Stream What You Hear (SWYH), transforming your PC into a DLNA streamer. If it doesn't work, you can also use the 'HTTP Live Streaming' function, and indicate the provided URL to Volumio, creating a new Web Radio.
  • TuneBlade, transforming your PC into an Airplay streamer
• If you want to use this solution in order to stream the audio of a movie you're watching, consider that streaming necessitates a delay: in your video software (for example VLC), use the option to compensate this delay (J and K keys on VLC, usually around 2 seconds delay)

Stream From Android

• Usually, your device must be rooted in order to allow the app to capture the audio from the Android system
• Several apps are compatible, including
  • BubbleUPnP+Xposed.

Troubleshooting

• Don't hesitate to restart your devices (Windows, Android, Volumio, Wifi router, ..) if you can't connect them
