@ThatGuyFromDenmark: Shuffle and repeat is coming, has been added to the products and we're waiting for the next software release. Goto artist, we will take a look. Perhaps there are more ways to do this. You can already search and play podcasts in radio? The support is very bare bones i admit. Multiroom is coming, still waiting for the go ahead

@Sal: yes it should say DLNA, we will fix this. The products do not quite agree on what to send us for the source list, that is why it is not quite consistent yet. Search is coming, but sorry i cannot give you an exact date. First we will be adding favorites, that will hopefully help a little with the deep navigation

@dueno: This is actually something we get from the DLNA server, we just display what it sends us. In many DLNA servers this can be customized, perhaps on yours as well

 

While the DLNA addition is useful, clearly we need DLNA search.

Also, the DLNA icons show Music, Photos, Videos......this should surely show Artists, Albums, Playlists (would have thought this change is easy to make)

With respect to search, are you proposing DLNA specific search, or unified search across both Deezer and DLNA? 

Thanks

In the next update for DLNA we will enable you to select the top level folder. Then you can get the view you describe by selecting the "Music" folder, now it defaults to the root.

I don't know yet if we want to unify it. It is tricky. Would you want two album categories in your results, one for Deezer and one for DLNA? Or would your merge them together? When you start digging into this it becomes quite complex. At first I think we will split them up and then experiment with unified search down the road. 

 

Doesn't work with NL/ML Converter. Another App what doesn't work in a complex environment. So doesn't the Beolink 2 App.

@Reto: Working on it as we speak, expect support very soon

Yes, i get that unified search is trickier, not sure of there some intelligence to be borrowed from the Moment in this regard.....

didn't quite understand the first point re DLNA.....at present, the NAS shows Music, Videos, Photos.....whether that is a function of how my NAS is configured shouldn't really matter i think, as Videos and Photos are irrelevant to the app....it would be surely do-able for the Music screen to display the next level below Music on a NAS, which i would have thought for most are Artists, Albums, Playlists....though i'd be interested if thats not the case, from other NAS users......

@Sandyb: We will let users chose what folder to start from. So now it starts from the root, that is why it shows the folders you list. In your case you can chose the music folder and you would get the artist, album etc. at the top level. We cannot do it automatically since this might be in a different language or you might have renamed the folders to something else. This is completely customizable 

@MrAndersen: Great news about shuffle and repeat, and thanks for being here and providing feedback!

 

The "go to artist" thing is just an annoyance, when something is playing that I like, I want to be able to select "Go to artist" and see a collection of albums from that artist, most popular songs etc. - the same I would get if I searched for the artist. That would be really nice, it feels constricted at the moment without this functionality.

I wasn't aware of the podcast support, I will have a play with that. But having the option of subscribing to a podcast and having it show up with recent episodes would be nice (and doing the same on the BeoSound Moment would be really nice!)
