Hello everyone,
I just submitted a new version for the App Store that contains much requested features like custom genres, custom artist/genre images stored on MinimServer in indexArtwork, multi disc playback, track notes and many bug fixes. Bellow is the complete list.
Version 1.0.8 brings multi-disc albums under control, notes you can keep on any track, and artist images straight from your server.
NEW
Multi-disc albums. Every disc now carries its own play button, so you can start just that disc, and its own collapse control, so you can fold away the ones you are not listening to. A folded disc that holds the track currently playing shows a soft moving ring, so you never lose where you are. The same applies when you browse by folder.
Track notes. Keep a note on any track, with the moment you were listening to it.
Artist images from your server. If you run MinimServer with index artwork, Serento can now use the artist portraits you already curate. Settings, Display, Artist Options explains which folder to create, how to name the files and the server setting it needs. It is off by default, because it applies to MinimServer only.
Genre Options. Custom genres, with the same kind of explanation of what the server needs.
Please read the guide in the app or on the website to learn how to enable these: Setup Guide · MinimServer & Plex over UPnP · Serento
IMPROVED
Linn and Lumin streamers are recognised as OpenHome again, so the full playlist transport is used instead of the basic one.
Twonky libraries sync completely. Twonky answers searches differently from what Serento expected, so it is now walked folder by folder, like the other servers that need it.
Folder browsing is faster on large trees.
On iPad and Mac the album loading placeholder now matches the layout it turns into, so nothing jumps when the album arrives.
FIXED
Back returns you where you came from. Opening an album from Now Playing while you are listening from a playlist takes you back to that playlist rather than to the list of playlists, and doing the same from Classical keeps you in Classical.
An album you are already looking at is no longer opened a second time on top of itself.
Albums reached through Folders now open correctly from Now Playing, instead of reporting that the album is missing.
On iPad, the more button on a track row no longer starts playback when your finger lands just beside it.
Volume is reported correctly again, and Recently Played records what you actually played.
Many bug fixes and other small improvements.
Have a great week,
Lorin
