@MrAndersen:

Here are the results of my test of the latest beta.

What to Test:

1. Fixed album art from DLNA.

Still not fixed. When using basic prev and next controls when playing on M5, album art is not updated correcly.

2. Fixed basic prev and next control for Deezer on integrated setup.

OK when using Deezer free version on my BV11/Core. However, for other sources I still get an error message:

3. Fixed shuffle and repeat for integrated setup.

Buttons are now visible in integrated setup, but the DLNA playback will still loop no matter the setting of the repeat button.

Location: Copenhagen

Best regards Dyssegaard

3. Loop issue is supposed to be fixed by product updates if I remember well

Thanks for the feedback. I will look at the other sources. Shuffle repeat needs a product update as well, I will try it just the same for DLNA.

The issue with album art was that we use https and that didn't work for DLNA servers. We now use http and that fixed it in our setup. We have in the past seen that the products sometimes are behind when sending the meta data. If you open and close the player, is it still wrong?

I have just tried the DLNA playback again on my M5. If I step through the songs the album art is blank. If I then close the Now Playing view and opens it again the album art is updated correctly.

I do exactly that on my M5 and I can step through songs on an album and the album art is always shown.

@MrAndersen:

I have just discovered the following regarding the DLNA cover art issue.

If I have a play queue with several albums and then select shuffle mode, the cover art is updated correctly when I step forward or backward and the next/previous song comes from a different album. If the song comes from the same album the cover art is blank until I close and re-open the Now Playing window.

Interesting observation, we will try this. The symptom could imply a product issue, but I hope not. Then it will be harder to fix.

I have tested the scenario on both my Core and M5 and had no issue.

I’m not in an integrated setup and I used Minimserver in that test

[edit] the only issue I have seen while playing the test scenario is the progress bar not being updated properly and staying filled independently of the real track elapsed time

That reminds me about and old requirement I have: the gesture on the cover art to move to next/previous track is far too sensitive, moving the image half a millimeter changes the track.

Look at what Deezer does (an example) on this front compared to what the B&O app does .... night and day in user experience

@Dyssegaard tried it with 4 tracks from 4 different albums with shuffle and it worked on our Synology. What NAS are you using?
