Beta channel

Your device gets updates from the stable channel: versions that have been fully tested. On the beta channel, you get new versions earlier, before they're released to everyone.

Beta versions are still being tested and may have bugs. If you rely on your device every day, stay on the stable channel.

Switch to the beta channel

1. On a computer on the same network as your device, open a web browser.

2. Type your device's name followed by .local/dev, for example http://motivo.local/dev. If it doesn't work, use the device's IP address instead, for example http://192.168.1.20/dev. To find both, see Volumio in a browser.

3. Under Update Channel Selection, choose Test.

4. In the app, open your device and go to Settings → System, then press Check updates under System updates to install the beta version.

If you want to stay on the beta channel, choose Test again after every update: once an update is installed, the device goes back to the stable channel.

Go back to the stable channel

After a beta update, your device is already back on the stable channel, and gets the next stable version as usual.

If you chose Test but haven't updated yet, go to the same page and choose Stable under Update Channel Selection.

If you report a problem while you're on a beta version, tell us in your report.
