LUMIN - Audiophile Network Music Player

[hoppy100]

When I clear a album from my playlist, the Lumin app clears the album, but goes to the top of my music library every time for the next album instead of going to the position of the last played album in the list.  This causes me to have to scroll from the top of the list down to the next album after the one that was cleared.  Is there a way to avoid having to start all over from the top of my music list at "A" when the last played album was at say "S" in the music list?  I am using the android app.

I have a long time issue with my Lumin T1. When switching from other App to Lumin’s App, The screen Goes automatically to the beginning of The App.

 

We can neither reproduce this on an iPad Pro iOS 13.3 nor iPad Air iOS 11.4.1.

 

If you were looking at Tidal search results, they do expire after some time.

I have a similar problem, the sound is always slow

 

If you mean Tidal playback begins slower, please try it only at non-peak hours, switch to Qobuz or Spotify or try it with another internet service provider - it's not usually an issue of Mbps regardless of how high that value is marketed to you.  Real download speed from Tidal server is irrelevant to that and is dependent on region and ISP.

"top of music library" - do you mean top of (left hand side tablet) playlist, or the (right hand side tablet) album view?  They did not reset to top in my test, so I'm not sure I got your meaning.  In any case, try both "Follow Now Playing" setting to see if it works better for you.

You mean you did not reproduce  my video with The problem?

Please try different sample rates, and other inputs of your DAC.  If both USB and AES cannot play 88.2kHz correctly, I'd suspect the DAC, because the two types of audio connections are entirely different.

Remember my issue with dropouts at the beginning of each track with all connection types?

 

I uploaded MinimServer and I have spent two days with Mp3Tag-program to do some adaptaions in the meta data. The good news is that all problems with drop outs, "clicks" between dsd tracks is gone. (There is nothing wrong with my dac). Obviously there are mismatches between JRiver and Lumin to make it a perfect pitch. On top of this the tags in the app are excellent for searching and give a very good structure. Your recommendation to use MinimServer is very appropriate.

 

Finally everything works as suposed to and I hope it stays that way.

Sorry late to the party only got my D2 today 😀

 

In Roon and Tidal I can select the radio option to play music similar to the track selected.

Can I achieve this directly in the LUMIN app on iPad?

We tried two different iPads two different iOS and we did not experience what you show in the video.

Slow meaning it takes several seconds to start playback, or incorrect playback with the sound distorted in way that causes female voice to sound like male?

Could it be that your cache memory is full? This can slow down all programs. I do not know how this is managed in iPad and iPhone but in Android there are tools to clear this from time to time. Are you using internal memory or memory cards? This can also have impact? Other programs running in the background might also influence.

 

I have not experienced the problem you have on iPad. The respons time is very short.

Hello,

 

I have a new Lumin D2 and have a question regarding non Latin characters.  It appears that when I play FLAC files with Hebrew tags the screen is does not display the tags, only the progress bar, the playlist number, and the bit/sampling.  I have no problems seeing the text in Hebrew on BubbleUPNP or in the Lumin App.

 

Thanks,

 

Gil

Do most people use Roon with the LUMIN?

I use my local library plus Tidal, I really like the Roon functionality to play music of a similar kind which the LUMIN app does not have, other than using AirPlay directly from the Tidal app to mix music does anyone have another method other than playlist to achieve this?

[Ropet]

I'm not a fan of swapping around with streaming. I buy all my albums (physical or downloads) and rip them. I see no need for Roon, Tidal, Spotify or Quboz. I only buy and play jazz and classical. I have enough albums for my lifetime. The structure in the app supported by my own structure build up in the folder tag makes it very easy to find what I want to play instead climbing the ladder along the shelves. So I only stream from my private music treasures over Lumin, play vinyl or mastertapes or play radio stations.

 

The hard part was the ripping which took about 3 years. I still have roughly 14 classical boxes to rip, roughly 600 cd's.

@wklie A smaller issue has showed up. It is not critical as everything works, but it is a "hygenic" factor I want to understand.

 

In the MinimServer error log I get the following message (several repeated lines):

MinimServer: Incorrect format for object ID '0$albums$showaa'

 

I contacted MinimServer who responded: This message is caused by your control point (the LUMIN app) using cached local information that is out of sync with MinimServer. If you reload the MinimServer library into the LUMIN app after making changes to the library, you should not see these messages.

 

When checking the database there are no errors to my eyes. I have both restarted, reloaded and re-scanned after my last uploads to the database. Any hint on what is behind this and what to correct/add?

[wklie]

In Lumin app, did you try Rescan first then Reload MinimServer?

Yes, I did. 

Meanwhile I was asked by MinimServer to provide them with my app version (6.1.14) so that they could repeat it on their side. They got the same result as me. They will contact Lumin to solve the issue. You can follow the discussion on MinimServer Forum/Support/Initial Setup from post #36 and onwards where they also explain why Lumin send an error message.

[wklie]

We're working on the MinimServer warning log issue.

[wklie]

@Ropet please try Lumin app 6.1.15 and check whether the warning is fixed upon Reload MinimServer.
