Axiom05 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 This is not a minimserver issue as the Lumin App behaves in the same manner using Auralic's Lightning Server. Just trying to determine if this is expected behavior.

stefano_mbp Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Few weeks ago I tried myself to use the Group property and what you describe seems to be the expected behavior. ... but I abandoned it to go back to Work tag that is a “true” index. Group use has some constraints I didn’t like: tracks with the same Group must be consecutive and a Group cannot go across two disks. To maintain the Work visibility I merged it in the Artist tag therefore I can see the Work in the single track details available on Lumïn app. Stefano My audio system Link to comment
Axiom05 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Stefano, thank you for your posts. I did read your thread in the minimserver forum and it did provide some help. I think the best approach for me is to not use the Group tag as it seems to be behaving differently depending on which control app is being used. It appears that Auralic is not using the Group tag in the same way as minimserver or the Lumin App. Best to keep things simple for now. Cheers!

wklie Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I am pleased that another major manufacturer has announced a product that also includes optical Ethernet as found from Lumin X1. I think this validates the feature as being valuable and important, and reaffirms Lumin innovation in network audio streaming technology. Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment

Liam Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I’m stumped. This morning the internet went down. I re booted the router and internet was back when it had re booted. UI Mini requested login to Qobuz, having obviously logged out. However, now I cannot log back in. Below is screen shot. This even after changing password, and copy pasting address and password, the same which works perfectly to log in to the website directly. I switched of the Mini for a period and switched back on....no good. In desperation I re set to factory setting the UI Mini via the app. No change. I’m probably overlooking something but can’t figure. Help appreciated.

wklie Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 @LiamPlease logout Qobuz from all your devices including family members' devices. Using a browser or official Qobuz app, change your Qobuz password to alphanumeric, then logout. Power cycle the whole network, starting from the router, and includes the Lumin and iPad. Then login to Qobuz again with your new alphanumeric password. If still fails, if you were using account name, try e-mail instead and vice versa. Liam 1 Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment

FIndingit Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 The same thing (Qobuz login problems) happened to me just two days ago when my network was down several times in a row. Nothing helped, but I knew next morning it would be ok, and it was. Say NO to ROON Link to comment
nirw Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Hello all - I searched this and other forums and wanted to make sure I have the most up to date information. I'm about to buy a T2 and was hoping to integrate my Plex server and app to stream into the T2. I am enjoying the Plex interface and the meta data it adds to media files it recognizes. I'd love to use it with Lumin as I did with my old Cambridge Audio CXN. Can anyone here help ? I'm also concerned on whether I can use the Plex to transport DSD files to the Lumin over LAN ? Many thanks for your help and happy holiday to all ! Link to comment
ZombieMelvile Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 is it Ok to leave the front panel display ,of the U1 Mini, on all the time (i.e.while not listening to music ) or better to turn the display off to prevent damage to the screen? Thanks Link to comment
Akjohnson Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Hi Peter, are there any plans to add a different radio service to Lumin? In the uk tunein is very poor as it has none of the BBC stations due to an issue with the BBC and it has no stations from outside the uk since it lost a court case with Sony. thanks Pro-ject X2(Nakoaka MP150), Musical fidelity M3CDS, Lumin D2, Parasound Hint6, PMC twenty 23 Link to comment

It seems Plex has a DLNA server function so I guess you can use the Plex library with Lumin. However, unless Plex operates as a UPnP controller I don't think you can use the Plex UI to control the Lumin. Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment

vintageaxeman Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 There is an old saying "If in doubt, read the instructions". So I am VERY pleased that, finally, Lumin have released their ONLINE MANUAL for Lumin devices! https://www.luminmusic.com/manual/ Ropet 1 Link to comment
rodrigaj Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 My very first look at the new manual: "For more information about the software-side of Music Servers, see Music Server Software." ...and I encounter a bad link...

tubegem Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Spotify HD Hello, own a D1+Sbooster. Signed up for the 30 day trial to try out Spotify HD. There was some mention of Lumin upgrading/supporting the new format prior to end of 2020, but can't find any further updates. So, enabled Spotify on D1. Log on and changed Audio Quality to Very High. I'm able to select music in the HD folder and it plays with no issues. However, the display on the D1 remains as 320K like everything else. I don't see any where to select HD as an option. I don't notice any sonic improvements. Am I missing something or has perhaps Lumin not as yet released an update to Spotify HD? I had tried it Mac mini > sms200 > dac and pretty sure a Spotify HD window came up. But before and take my system apart again, I would ask for clarification. Firmware 13.3, Stotify 3.110.44, App 8.6.14.1422 I have tried logging off all devices and power reboot to equipment. Is anyone successfully getting Spotify HD on their Lumin? Thanks in advance, Ed Link to comment

On most devices, Spotify defaults to a variable ‘Automatic’ setting and offers four fixed playback tiers: 24 kbps (Low), 96 kbps (Normal), 160 kbps (High), and 320 kbps (Very High). Link to comment
wklie Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 @tubegem Spotify HiFi is not yet launched. Based on public news, it'll be some time later in 2021, and the pricing is unknown. We are working to update our Spotify Connect implementation such that HiFi will be supported when needed. At this time the best you can get is 320kbps, no matter what device you use, see here: https://support.spotify.com/us/article/high-quality-streaming/ @alandbush This is not applicable to Lumin hardware. Lumin Spotify Connect implementation does not allow a lower-than-best quality to be chosen at all. This is to prevent an accidental misconfiguration causing a lower-than-best quality to be obtained. thingswelike 1 Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment
Popular Post Kray Posted April 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2021 Just wanted to share an experience. I have a U1 Mini and it’s been the only streamer I’ve had that is equal to my cd transport. I recently dabbled in building a pi2AES ropieee endpoint, using AES to my DAC. At first it sounded similar to Mini, but best way for me to judge is long term use over a couple weeks. So afterwards I found the pi2AES was just missing something. Some of my favorite tracks/albums just didn’t seem as enjoyable. It was small but I could tell. I added the Mini back in and the happiness is fully back. I’m planning on adding an ext LPS next. but to end. For $300 the pi2AES is pretty amazing gear, especially with a AES digital output. You’d expect the Lumin to beat it at 7x the price. But there’s been so much talk of these RasPi decides I thought I’d check it out for myself. I’m a happy Lumin owner and the support has been phenomenal. ryuryo and thingswelike 1 1 Link to comment
