Hmm, interesting, why is there a second back button? There already is one left of the navigation select box? Wouldn't it be better to place the forward button between this existing back button and the select box?

Use it and you’ll realize it has a different functionality

I use and old iPad mini 2 and after the latest app update, trying to use Qobuz search causes the app to crash. No problems with my iPhone.

That’s fine, then it’s a app bug …

Like Apple Music it depends on Apple if they will decide to provide the API

Is it possible to have two U1 Mini connected to separate TP-Link RE650 wifi extenders on the same network

As long as they are on the very same subnet (for example 192.168.1) and they have different ip address (for example 192.168.1.xxx and 192.168.1.yyy)  why not?

I have four renderers on my network and I can control them all from my iPad/Lumïn app

Peter, was there some update last night? I was suddenly unable to log in Qobuz. Solved that, but now my U2 Mini is stuttering on both my Playlists and Favorites. Hardly ever happens, but seems persistent now.

Thanks

Lumïn app (iOS) was updated from 8.6.0 to 8.6.1 (minor bug fixes)

If I’m in Lumin app. Listening to Qobuz, and find an album I like, how do I make it a favorite from within the Lumin app.?  Thanks

@wklie hi Peter, I’m interested in new L2 server.

Form UPNP point of view … which tags are retrieved from tracks and is it possible to configure them?

And a curiosity … why haven’t you embedded Minimserver in L2 as mediaserver?

[stefano_mbp]

L2 has no CPU

There must be one as it is a upnp server …

For expert users like you, please use MinimServer instead.

Thanks Peter 👍

L2 or P1?

and the new L2.

I'm a bit disappointed that Lumïn L2 is a rather basic and non-configurable UPNP server (rather far from Minimserver functionalities)

Jplay is also up there with Minimserver, but the manual indexing to update tracks is a setback whereas new albums on Audirvana are available in moments from copying to the main library

If you are in a hurry to listen to a new added album it is immediately available in JPlay browsing By Folder even without indexing the library (that takes around 15’ and can be done when you can leave your iPad alone for that amount of time)

For me it was a very interesting information that you need a receiver dongle.

question: why, in Lumin app, when I select my Lumin U1 Mini it shows here

 

 

and when I select the Lumin U2...

 

 

😐

 

(happens on iPhone, iPad and Mac)

Isn’t that the AirPlay logo?

[stefano_mbp]

1 minute ago, pl_svn said:

yes and that's weird too as Lumin streaming (AirPlay) is disabled 😐

Maybe it is locked on AirPlay due to some other device AirPlay connection. What happens if you power cycle the U1 mini?

But in the Lumin app, in the album cover part, I only see one album, the latest one, so Toy (Artwork). Not the others.

If I filter on a particular track from another album, then the filter sees the track including a small picture of the cover, but same album does not appear next to Toy in the album cover part.

Is this an Lumin app issue or a Minimserver issue?

It is likely a metadata issue. Check tracks metadata with a tag editor like MP3tag if you’re on Windows or Yate if you’re on macOS.

Minimserver strongly relies on metadata and not on folders structure, anyway its better to have this folder structure

Artist

— Album x

—— album x track 1

—— album x track 2

…

—— folder.jpg

— Album y

—— album y track 1

—— album y track 2

…

—— folder.jpg

and so on

Yes, it looks like it. Well if the job needs to be done, then I have to do it if I want to see those albums in the app, isn't it.

But is there no way to determine which albums are tagged an which not? Some kind of search action?

the tags that Lumin app reads are:

• Track name
• Track number
• Disk number (important if the Album is a multidisk one)
• Album
• Album Artist (must be only one for each Album)
• Artist (can be more than one for each track)
• Composer
• Genre
• Date

every time you add an album you should check with the editor of your choice that the metadata important to you are correct ... it takes less than 5' and you are sure everything is fine

For example, a tag not filled in will be displayed as ... or Unkown as I learned.

Right, will be shown as [unknown]

For tag: Album Artist (must be only one for each Album) does this mean I cannot have something like: Corea, Chick & Herbie Hancock & Keith Jarret & McCoy Tyner ? If not, what should I fill in then?

I should have said : the same for each album.

In your example the whole string “Corea, Chick & Herbie Hancock & Keith Jarret & McCoy Tyner” is actually one AlbumArtist and it will be ok.

9 hours ago, BvdW said:

But I can have this long title for tag Artist?

More or less as you like, but the Artist tag is a “multi item” tag therefore you could fill it with as many artists as you like separated by a “separator” that in MP3tag should be // . In this way any artist will be shown in a separate row, as you can see here

9 hours ago, BvdW said:

And Date is probably: year (as in NP3Tag?

Yes, the tag name should be Year.

.

Please note that I use Yate (2manyrobots) editor (macOS only) and not MP3tag therefore I cannot be very precise
