Hello all,
No way to connect my SHD studio to the lan and Volumio. I tried 10 times your method explained above and the SHD is stil unreachable. I may add that my son is a network enginer and did not suceed neither... Is there another way to reset  Volumio ? Also I saw that Logitech is an alternative to Volumio : could it be allowed to manage the Lan by Logitech instead of Volumio ?

OK like other fellow, the file was at last read with another USB memory !!

I'd suggest you contact miniDSP support using the link at the top of the page.

I can confirm it is possible to run SHD Studio with Volumio as the streaming device. It is even possible to run it with Spotify connect. But... it is not so pinky picture. If I manually start Volumio on my PC, Spotify Connect will run. But whenever I just turn on SHD and try to run Spotify streaming to SHD it is not listed as available device in Spotify. I don't know if this is just my incompetence to set up volumio properly or it works this way. Any hints?

How long are you waiting after switching your SHD on before trying to connect? It takes something like a minute for Volumio to start up on the newer Neo3 SHDs when coming out of standby, and it will also take a while from the main power switch being turned on for the Neo2 models.

What versions of Volumio, SHD Firmware and Spotify plugin are you using?

hm... I need to see how long, but I'm pretty sure this was at least 5-10 minutes. Version: VolumioSpotifyConnect2 1.0.5. See attached screens



 

You should unistall the second plugin and install the first. What is the answer to my other questions?

thank you. I will do so. regarding time, as I said, I tried after quite some time after the SHD Studio was turned on. It is always plugged in (there is no master power switch on SHD Studio)

I asked about Volumio and firmware versions because if these aren't up to date then the new Spotify plugin won't work.

hm... the other plugin doesn't look like Spotify Connect, but it is rother setting up Spotify account directly in Volumio. In this scenario I understand you need to install Volumio app on the mobile phone? The beauty of Spotify Connect is that my children can simply play using the same Spotify app they know well

No, the first one is definitely what you want. There is only one now.

Hi, I recently got an SHD, and it works fine when connected via USB.  However, it never appears on my network.  When I plug in an ethernet cables, yellow and green LEDs flash above the jack, but the device doesn't show up on my LAN at all.  I got the WiFi dongle recommended by Support, and when I connect it to the SHD, no hotspot is created.  When I try to reset Volumio via USB drive, the reset file is removed from the USB file but nothing else happens - the SHD doesn't reboot and nothing else happens either.

Support so far has not been able to help, so I'm putting this out to the larger community - any ideas for how I can get the network connect up and running?

Thanks

Support helped me re-flash Volumio, and all is well.  Thanks, support team!
