Firmware Upgrade 4.6.415145.35 - Up2stream Pro V3, Up2stream Amp V4 June. 11. 2022

Hello,
I have no idea why there is a firmware upgrade because every time there is my device becomes a brick. I just thought I was purchasing a device that would work. If it works then stop trying to fix it.
This is the third time it stopped working for me. First time I found a step by step solution. Second time, after a few days it started working. Now, I have know idea what I’m supposed to do even with what you told SimonA to do???
Very frustrated with this device and company.

Hi, I suppose you’re also suffering for the volume issue. I’m really sorry for all the mess, and have pushed the new udpates for AMPV4, and will update others soon later.
Regarding the upgrading. We keep working on upgrading firmware to fix issues and new features, maybe they’re not desired for everyone, but we’re trying to make it better. And because we’re working on a some what open board to let user customizing with many configs, and that makes the system a bit complicated for fully testing.
And, don’t feel frustrated, enjoy the pain and joy of DIY :slight_smile:

Well…I tried to reset the device to factory settings and that didn’t help. So is there any way for me to fix this with instructions or am I supposed to wait for another update?

I suspect the cause of the volume issue and maybe some other strange behaviour is that memory overflow while composing a reply message for EQ groups. Did you ever save different EQ groups with ACP tool? If so, could try reset factory on ACP tool and check. I’ve expanded this tmp buffer in firmware and also will check bundary to avoid problem.

This is my issue after update. How to fix it?
Firmawe: 4.6.415145.36

I have the same problem, with the volume.
Did you try to press the reset button tree times?

@dulmateusz I had same issue. Factory reset helped me. But it was not a simple thing. I didn’t have access to the device settings in the 4stream app. So the solution was to right click on loading screen in browser, select Inspect and delete div with class “loading_mask”. Then I had acces to settings menu and could perform factory reset. After that everthing is as it should be.

Should sort itself after you do a factory reset

Please, reduce default volume step to 3, because 5 is to much, now I cann’t normally adjust volume with remote control, it’s too loud or too silent with step +/-5.

My observations with S50 Pro+ a volume stepSize is different between: spotifyApp=3, 4streamApp=7, one click on the volume button of my Samsung, remoteControl=5 one click on the volume+ button.

Request to Arylic for the next sw patch, to make the size of one volume step fixed independant from where you control the volume, and the step size easy configurable for non-technical users. I prefer stepSize of 1, I rather click several times to get the right volume level than go too soft or too loud and have to use the volume slider.

Hello,

Thanks for a great product, I have a suggestion which regards to the online radio in the webplayer, I have added a station to my private list, and liked the fact that one can assign besides location and language also an image. unfortunately there is nothing foreseen to display “now playing” meta-data, I hardly know anything about coding, But I know that it is possible, for example VLC can somehow encode title and artist info.

A solution could be to allow the image field to contain a webpage, or use an existing embed player.

the radiochannel I’m playing for example has its player here: Radio 1 Classics - Radioplayer
the AAC track is here: http://icecast.vrtcdn.be/radio1_classics.aac
“Now playing” info is then fed through this IFRAME: VRT Radioplayer Frame

Another issue I would like to report, One of the U2s PRO V3 devices I have nearly always goes into setup mode after a power cycle. Only one device is behaving like this, I also have a U2s Mini and another U2SProV3 who are not showing this faulty behavior.

Apologies if this was asked already, I am just lazy and did not read the entire above discussion, it seems I have posted this in the wrong section
Thanks

Hi, I recently purchased an AMP v4. I connected it via ethernet cable, and powered it up. Opened up the app, the device was discovered and I was prompted to do a firmware update. I proceeded with the update and eventually the app reported the upgrade had failed and I should reboot. I cycled power to the AMPv4 and it never came back. The app can’t detect it, I see no soundStation wifi network. The led is blinking green about once a second or faster. I’ve left it on for hours, I’ve tried 3 short button clicks. Single clicks do make the led switch modes.

It appears to be totally inaccessible - what can I do to recover this device?

Thanks

I gave up using my Up2stream Pro V3 a while back when it started to miss-behave and wouldn’t upgrade to the latest firmware.
But left it connected and powered on and connected.
Now many months later I’ve tried it again and see it has upgraded to v 4.6.415145.35.
It’s better - but my main use is to play a music collection from a memory stick in it’s USB port.
Now I find it clicks and stutters when it come to the end of a track.
It doesn’t do this playing from my file server.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

Hello,
I hope this email finds you well. I am using Up2stream Pro, and I am going to send a music .mp3 or .wav file from my computer with the 10.10.10.129 IP to the device (IP address= 10.10.10.254) directly(peer-to-peer) with wifi and via HTTP API. The Url for the resource music file is: Volumes/Media/Music/s.mp3
I used the following command, It shows the OK in the browser, but it doesn’t play anything:
http://10.10.10.254/httpapi.asp?command=setPlayerCmd:play:http://10.10.10.129:8000/Volumes/Media/Music/s.mp3

I would appreciate it if you could help me or provide any comments.
With thanks and kind regards,
Arman

you could check if the music link is working within your browser: http://10.10.10.129:8000/Volumes/Media/Music/s.mp3

Thanks for the response. I tested this command with the Postman on mac:
With an IP address and a dedicated port of 8000 of the local source file without “http://” in command:

  1. http://10.10.10.254/httpapi.asp?command=setPlayerCmd:vol:100:play:10.10.10.129:8000/file:///Users/arman/Desktop/Arman/Track24.wav
    With an IP address and a dedicated port of 8000:
  2. http://10.10.10.254/httpapi.asp?command=setPlayerCmd:vol:100:play:http://10.10.10.129:8000/file:///Users/arman/Desktop/Arman/Track24.wav
    or without the IP address:
  3. http://10.10.10.254/httpapi.asp?command=setPlayerCmd:vol:100:play:file:///Users/arman/Desktop/Arman/Track24.wav
    I tried with different ports and also on Windows OS, but it did not playback the sound.
    I can access the wave file in the browser’s address bar with this command:
    file:///Users/arman/Desktop/Arman/Track24.wav
    It is weird since I can change the volume, but the command for changing the left and right channels (ch:1 or 2) or playing the commands above doesn’t work.

You need to test the link is able to be accessed on browser first, to make sure the HTTP server is working normally. The device and the HTTPAPI should be OK. I guess the issue caused by your HTTP server configuration. And also, please note that the URL has a rule for special characters, eg: %20 for space.

And the other 3 links you’re tried are not a common http URL.

I have 2 bricked Pro V3’s now. In both cases, received an update that somehow failed and they never came back.
The “update tool” connects to them over wifi (I haven’t changed my network name nor password and it seems like it still connects to wifi fine, even if the led just flashes rapidly incessantly) sends over the bin file but nothing else ever happens.

The web interface doesn’t move on from asking the admin password, and the app doesn’t even try to install the update, just says there’s a failed update.

ACP Workbench DOES recognize the device, and I could install a firmware update through there, BUT it expects a .mva file that I can’t seem to find anywhere since the firmware update files provided by arylic are .bin

how did you solve this??

I eventually gave up. And it’s only when you do that things seem to work lol. I had every intention at that point to send the units back for a replacement. One magically came back after moving it closer to the router. I do not have an ethernet cable to plug into it and force any more updates, but after moving somewhere else and trying (multiple times) over again, it eventually came back to. The other unit I had given up on I left unattended for several days. I don’t even know why I decided to plug back in, but once again, it magically liked this new location and worked like there was never anything wrong.

We truly live in a simulation :rofl:.
