When I try to upload some mp3 files in the Soundboard app I get an error message. I tried the Web App (PC) and Mobile App (iPad), both with result in error. Has someone tried to upload sound files to Homey SHS on Raspberry Pi? ---

Did you keep the 900kB file size limit in mind? ![Screenshot_20251229_025956_Firefox](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/7/87ff783b144092b1c5a93b309ad1a7759b00a86b.jpeg) ---

I’m trying to upload the same files I use with Sounboard in a Homey 2016. It looks like the app is crashing when I try to upload. I see a crash with a lot of HTML code? UPDATE: Problem is also reported by other people and I’ll wait for solution. ---

UPDATE: It’s definitely related to the file size limit: ![Screenshot_20251229_201831_Firefox](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/0/3044674fc8f2e80e9af9186e434baf2e5c78e49c.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20251229_201857_Files](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/5/75607f603d9ebe8d21692e1d186723a894dfd719.jpeg) @HansieNL * * * I could reproduce, I selected a 450kB mp3 file; The size filter seems off (maybe 90kB instead of 900) Sent to Support as well ```auto Payload TooLargeError: request entity too large at readStream (/app/node_modules/raw-body/index.js:163:17) at getRawBody (/app/node_modules/raw-body/index.js:116:12) at read (/app/node_modules/body-parser/lib/read.js:79:3) at jsonParser (/app/node_modules/body-parser/lib/types/json.js:138:5) at Layer.handle [as handle_request] (/app/node_modules/express/lib/router/layer.js:95:5) at trim_prefix (/app/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:328:13) at /app/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:286:9 at router.process_params (/app/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:346:12) at next (/app/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:280:10) at cors (/app/node_modules/cors/lib/index.js:188:7) at /app/node_modules/cors/lib/index.js:224:17 at originCallback (/app/node_modules/cors/lib/index.js:214:15) at /app/node_modules/cors/lib/index.js:219:13 at optionsCallback (/app/node_modules/cors/lib/index.js:199:9) at corsMiddleware (/app/node_modules/cors/lib/index.js:204:7) at Layer.handle [as handle_request] (/app/node_modules/express/lib/router/layer.js:95:5) ``` ---

Thanks for your response. I’m still waiting for an update of the Soundboard app which hopefully fixes the problem. I have uploaded a small sound file and changed it directly in the userdata folder of the Soundboard app for an other bigger one. That manual uploaded/renamed file does play right without errors (but uploading via app did create an error) I changed the small 65kb uploaded file for an other one of 150kb. ---

I guessume it’s more of a priority issue. And there’s more apps for playing sounds. > **[Music Url Converter | Homey](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/nl.qluster-it.MusicUrlConverter/Music-Url-Converter/)** > > Play Music URLs on Homey larger then 900 KB > **[Universal Media Player | Homey](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/nl.qluster-it.UniversalMediaPlayer/Universal-Media-Player/)** > > Turn any device in a Media Player with remote storage > **[Google Services | Homey](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/nl.qluster-it.GoogleServices/Google-Services/)** > > Setup your favorite Google (translate) voice for your speakers ---

Should be fixed with v12.11.0 ![Screenshot_20260122_163823_Slack](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/b/fbf1dcde4c443d00b0502755e70646e754ebe9d3.jpeg)
